I am as happy as a clam on Sunday when my eldest niece told me that she feels comfortable telling me everything, even matters pertaining to boy-girl-relationship, or BGR in short. I am very happy that my own children has no problem telling me about their BGR too simply because I do NOT tease them [...] read more »
Today, readers I have something very special for you. A bit of satire about the law school industry and their effort to mass produce one lawyer for every five people. This is not a joke...well, I guess it is a joke. Anyway, this is the weekend so please enjoy this writing by Preston Bell. Preston knows a lot about the law school scam, so lawyers especially will appreciate his take. Enjoy. Smarter ThanSocrates or, The End of the Law School Era: A SatirePreface If a person gave your body to any stranger h... read more »

Binbin did it last year too and came back with good reviews. This year, in Primary two, Binbin was feeling good about his [...] read more »
"Good morning," Khalifa said this morning as he put not one, but two trophies on my desk! I stared at them for a moment before realising what they were. Before I could ask him what the match was like, he was walking down the corridor and into class so he left me looking at the football trophies in astonishment. Then, I got excited and ran down the corridor with a trophy in each hand to show everyone. We've won the football!At A+, we play 5-a-side football every Monday evening at Woodbourn Road football p... read more »
We spent a sunny Sunday in Kelham Island last week. We met at the Cathedral tram stop and took the tram to Shalesmoor, which is near Kelham Island. We walked to the Kelham Island Museum through the old streets and past all the old industrial buildings, and I told the students some of the history of Sheffield. We reached the museum and stopped to look at the River Don, and I told the students about how rivers were very important in the history of industry in Sheffield. Rivers provided water for the mills ... read more »
Hello and how's your hair today? Post name was inspired by Frank Ocean's song, it's been stuck in my head for ages. Even though it's been snowing and raining and being crazily windy as per usual in England, my hair has managed to stay fab and frizz-free (because of the fabulouskeratin treatmentI did, check out the post). It's coming to the end of half term, so it means back to school, studying, exams, stress BUT I did go to London Fashion Weekend on a mother/daughter day out. It was really fun, and I was... read more »

Zoe, our director, decided to get us lots of pancakes today to celebrate Pancake Day! We all sat in the common room and ate pancakes with chocolate spread, lemon and sugar, lemon sauce and golden syrup - not all mixed together - although some interesting concoctions were made and we learnt that chocolate spread and golden syrup is actually quite nice, but incredibly sweet.I know that most of the students enjoyed their pancakes, but it was funny to see the look of horror on some of the female student's fa... read more »
