1 down 3 to go
I’ve finished my first week of the teaching course. It went pretty much as I expected. It was very intense, lots of lectures, teaching practice, and observation.
I was a lot more nervous then I thought I would be. The classes themselves were fine but just thinking about them the night before left me restless, sleepless and losing my appetite. This surprised me because I was well used to this sort of thing in my previous job - giving presentations and chairing meetings for example. I guess I’m too long away from the ‘real world’.
My 7 classmates are friendly and interesting which helps. I was a bit worried that the class would be full of wide-eyed and mindless kids just out of college but thankfully that hasn’t been the case.
3 more weeks to go.

Well, thatīs not so bad. I’m in a teaching course too but it will take me 5 years to finish it, and I assure you, the worst thing will be to teach. You’ll better be ready!
