my teaching days begin!!!!
Eeeeeeek :/
Well that is the first week of uni over with and now into the second and so far so good!!!
I am actually quite enjoying it apart from the getting up at 6am!!!! to be in on time and not getting home until after 6pm!!!! That bit sucks a bit :(
The city of Glasgow is not as frightening as I thought it would be so thats good and everyone on the course so far seems to be quite nice (I hope they stay like that) Its quite an intense course though, in 3 weeks I'll be let loose in a school, in a classroom, on my own!!!!!! Mwahahahahaha
Well that bit is panicing me slightly but I think it is everyone elses nerves that are getting to me before my own.
The lectures are long and uncomfortable and the first few consisted of your representing Glasgow Uni so dress well and your all damn lucky to be here because no other uni anywhere could top us!!!!!
I though it was only art schools that thought of themselves as the best place anyone could ever hope to visit let alone study! But no, uni's do it too!
The only usefull thing I've been told so far is that it is a must to keep a journal of my thoughts throughout my teaching career and that one of the assignments will require evidence of this journal!! So be prepared for a wee stressed al venting all on lj!!!
But it does seem like a good idea to have a point of reference for myself. but I'm not sure how me reading back over "my gawn I was shit scared this week because I was teaching in some awful school but there was one pupil who was okay and only came to class drunk once" will help?! But hey its all reflective practice now so, meh.
Anyhoo sleepy time for me now.
take care
