It's been a whirlwind kind of week. I had an interview for a job on Monday, started on Wednesday, continued on Thursday. (Wait, isn't this a Craig David song?)
Anyways, it's all happened way too fast. I mean, it's only been 6 months of holidays. My body can't cope with the "early" starts.
Seriously though, I think this might actually be my dream job. I'm teaching English to International students who have been accepted into various College courses pending passing this 15 week English course. It's already Week 12 so the pressure is on for them (and myself & the main teacher) to get them to pass. There's 11 in the class and they're really decent, hardworking students. I barely know what to do with myself in all the empty silence that's not filled with me shouting; "Sit down, take your books out, the page number is on the board, what do you mean you have no pen, sit down, why are you late, sit down, grafitti is NOT art, take his head out of that headlock, no you can't go to the toilet-you should have gone at lunch, sit down" etc etc... It's all a bit too quiet in the room which freaks me out a little!
But that and the fact that the classes are 4 hours long (4 hours, who can concentrate for that length of time!) aside I know I could really enjoy this work. You know, once I get my head around the campus and the curriculum.
