Nutty Schedule
Teaching my lessons began today. The first two days of classes were just introductions, rules, and games. In one day, I already feel a lot more respect for all my teachers, even the bad ones. There is so much time and energy that goes into teaching. WOW!
So here is my nutty schedule during the week:
-My first class is Advance 1 English and is from 7-9 am. These students are mostly professionals who come to learn English for work. They are eager to learn and ask lots of great questions. They definitely will be challenging me this cycle.
- I am taking a Intermediate Spanish class from 11-12 everyday. So far so good, but I am having trouble remembering words and tenses. Ugh!
- My second class is also Advance 1 English and is from 2-4 pm. These students are high school level and most of them are at school because their parents are paying for them to come.
- My last class is Intermediate English and is from 6-8 pm. These students are a mix but I think they are mostly working professionals.
Needless to say, I have a very long day, leaving the house at 6:30 am and arriving back at 8:30 pm. I already told the Director NOT to give me this schedule next cycle (this cycle ends on October 7th). I have many 2 hour breaks and have spent the time in the teacher´s lounge. At least I am getting to know other teachers and they are sooooo helpful to me!

It sounds like an exhausting schedule to me. They're fortunate to have you at the school because you're putting so much of yourself into teaching! Even though "teaching" didn't appear as a suggested career for you when you had vocational testing done, it sounds like you're in the right place right now!

Wow, this must be a big change compared to the hours at Hewitt! But I'm sure it is much rewarding to do something that your heart desires.
