Veni, Vide, Vice

And so they did! HNC IB came in today to sit their assessment, and I'm glad to report did even better than yesterday's class. They came (apart from Vince!), saw, and duly conquered their Psychology B exam. Performance ranged from good through excellent to first class. I am so pleased for them. And even for those who stumbled, all is not lost. They will pass after some mild remediation. A great end to a good year for mostly all in my charge. Higher and Intermediate psychology on June 3rd and that's about that for the chalkface psychology teacher in Kilmarnock College for 2004. Time was when we all used to relax after the exams, but not anymore. Admin beckons to tie everything up. That for sure is the worst part of my job! I have always found it crazy that teachers don't heve their own secretaries. Prior to teaching I worked in a number of jobs. In all of them I had my own office staff. And an office and phone to match. The resources teachers get are rubbish.

We are very excited here at www.gerardkeegan.co.uk. Our web design company Silkspool is beginning to pick up business. We hope to have an article in the Kilmarnock Standard this week that should bring us loads of hits. Plus we have upgraded our server package in order to do so many more things online. Discovered a great learning tool called FlashCardMaker, which I have high hopes for as an aid to students. We are also pushing forward our idea for a sexy psychology game, which is so secret Graeme would kill me for even mentioning it, so I won't. For the time being!

Henrik had his testimonial game tonight against Seville at Celtic Park. A full house of 60 000 plus. It wasn't the best of games I've ever seen, though the Bhoys won 1-0. The great Larsson has played his last game in the green and white of his beloved Celtic. They will miss him next season, but the opposition won't!

The end to the day has come with another bit of pleasing news. The garden designer
Diarmuid Gavin won a silver-gilt at the Chelsea Flower Show. He is a bit of a hero of mine. I see a touch of madness in him, which I appreciate. So well done him, too.
