Good evening all, sorry I've not been about, it's fair to say I've had a week off plan, but have been celebrating the end of 1st year of uni so I think it was warranted 
With regard to all the questions about uni, I've just completed the first year of a BEd Primary Teaching degree. My mentor teacher at the school was horrible, she hated me and it was obvious. I did my best on placement but have had a some family troubles going on and have done the best I can. Anyway, last Friday she threw all of my observation forms at me (didn't have any after 8 weeks of placement, pretty bad) and told me she didn't know why I was even there and that she'd wasted her time with me She told me I was rude, lazy and defensive and didn't have what it took to be a teacher. All of this was a shock to me, I had no idea she found me to be so horrible, but needless to say she's the only person to EVER have described me in that way, I was gutted. I came home and sobbed and honestly thought about quitting the course I managed to go in for the final 3 days but they were horrible, she didn't speak a word to me only to bark orders at me and evening *****ed loudly about me the morning of my final observation when someone from the uni was coming in to observe me. She told the TA she was refusing to sign my standards grid which had nothing to do with the TA at all, but she then piped up 'well if she has a problem with you, she has a problem with the rest of us then'. I was gobsmacked and have never experienced such unprofessionalism - this coming mostly from the woman who claimed I was unprofessional!!! Anyway, the uni lady gave my lesson a good - my best score so far as mentor teacher could only bring herself to give me a satisfactory no matter how hard I worked and my folder got an outstanding so I'm clearly not lazy. Anyway, I passed with an overall satisfactory and I never have to see that awful woman ever again thank god. The uni lady told me I'm better than satisfactory, just to take it on the chin and be thankful I passed under those circumstances and she told me not to dare give up uni. PHEW!
Sorry that was so long, but as you can tell it's been hard work and very emotionally draining. I've had a week off BBQing and drinking too much cider so will probs have put all the weight I lost back on I have 2 weeks until my holiday on the 11th June, guess I'll just be as good as I can until then, have my holiday and then lose some weight before my friend's wedding in August.
Hope you're all well and will begin this again tomorrow
