Last student-facing session on campus today for this semester - one semester left as a teacher fellow! Just a *glimpse* at what 2024 has looked like (the rest will be spent trying to find schools and hoping that I don’t have to parallel park!) 🚗
Still thinking about #Hamnet. What a masterpiece.
Wondering if ‘Shakespeare’ is more of a Dunnes in Manor Mills or big Tesco kind of guy was actually a very helpful way of pulling myself out of the depths of misery during it #Booksky #Filmsky #Spéirghorm #MaynoothSky?
