The course is over!!:-)

September 12, 2007

Well it is Friday of my 4th week of the TEFL course and I feel awesome!! It’s finally over and my two teaching days went great this week so that is a plus!! I won’t know until next week if i past yet or not but i feel pretty good! I’m just going to enjoy being done this weekend and celebrate and move into my new place!! :-)  

 So let me tell you my worst teaching experience yet… Well it was during the second week and i was teaching grammar of all things!! Relative clauses!! Not easy just take my word on it! So i was already nervous about making myself look like an idiot and as i’m waiting for my friend Luke to finish his teaching practice i look down and realize i have a hole in the crotch of my pants!!!! WHAT??? YES!!! Only me would this happen to!! luckily i was wearing black underwear with black pants so it wasn’t terribly noticeable, but still nerve racking!!! Anyways i got throught it the best i could and then bombed the lesson because i was so nervous i forgot my grammar!! Literally my observer said “That was crap” Thanks!! She was nice about it, but still,  ouch!! Well i survived and threw out those pants and moved on! Its still funny though!

Anyways sorry these take so long it is actually over a week now (9/12) since i first stared this blog. I did pass and am now a Caledonian Teacher! Its just been so crazy lately though with trying to figure out where my classes are and everything! I have to go to different companies all over Prague to teach! So it is kinda crazy! I have been lucky though because all of my students have been great so far so that is reassuring. i was actually really late yesterday because i got lost but they were really nice about it and were bsuy anyways so it didn’t seem to matter all that much! So my classes so far are good and i just have a few more then the weekend! I definitely have moments of “should i be here?” but we all do and we just support each other! My TEFL classmates are amazing and i have made soem amazing friends that makes this much easier which is nice! Last week was awesome! So school or lesson planning so we just partied and enjoyed it it was great and needed!! We had the best house warming party ever!! And didn’t get yelled at b/c our land lady rocks!! So i’m looking forwar to more of those!! There is definitley a Halloween Party in the near future!! Ok well i gotta get to my next class wish me luck!! Love you guys and miss ya’ll!! Take care and i’ll try to update again soon!!!

    This is awkward, because you are definitely sitting behind me giggling as I type. Hello (for those reading, that was definitely spoken and written). You’re right, that was the best party ever. Let’s have another. And invite our students – BUT NOT ALL OF THEM. I THINK YOU KNOW WHO I’M TALKING ABOUT!!!!

    Ok, I have to go stare at a map now. I’m lost and I haven’t even left the room.

    Have you ever heard of a needle and thread?

    I was so glad to see you updated your blog. Did you take any pictures at the party? If so I know we would all like to see your apartment and roommates.

    Oscar sends his love. I think about you all the time and miss you a bunch. I’ll talk to you this week-end.

    Love,

    Mom
