I’m a trainee teacher … and I’m actually enjoying myself

I know, I know, that’s not what I’m supposed to say. It’s meant to be the hardest year of my life (although sources vary on this – I’ve also been told I need to wait until my NQT year to claim that particular accolade). I’m meant to be stressed out, with no social life or hobbies to speak of, desperately trying not to cry in front of the kids.

Received wisdom states I definitely shouldn’t be having fun. But I am.
