spells disaster

Not the best of days at school today - after making what i thought was very good use of most of my free time over the Good Friday / Easter weekend, there still was (and is) so much to do, and so i wasn't (and am not) in the best of moods. No better time to be dealt with a slew of (albeit tiny) problems that made the day that much more frustrating - losing the latest soft copy version of a lesson resource that i had been working on in the train (yes, there is that much work to do); having my laptop restart thrice (and hence losing all the working documents) after closing the screen (and you'd think i'd learn my lesson after restart #1, but no..); losing precious lesson time due to technical issues, and then not being able to carry out much of what i'd planned so hard for over the long weekend due to the same aforementioned technical issues; forgetting to bring up to class lesson materials that i'd carefully prepared just a short time earlier; being shown attitude from a difficult student (oh how i could go on regarding that one if i was able to); mistaking one student for another one and calling him by the wrong name - the list goes on.

I don't mean to rant though - the point of mentioning all of that was that in spite of it all, the thing that bugged me most was that i could not spell the word 'consolidate' properly. Seriously..
