first teaching lesson

Im on my way to teach my first lesson. Suprisingly im not really that nervous. Maybe nerves havent sunk in yet, maybe its just that i have too much other work to do to get nervous and just want to get it over with or maybe it was the fact that we were told that as long as we don't punch kick or mock the students we aint going to fail this first lesson......... I'd better save my 'quarter blood technique' for another day

New Location

Welcome to my latest bog blog. Broadcasting my
thoughts whilst sitting on the most comfortable place
in the world.

Today is a special blog coming to you from a new
location whilst I christen the facilities at my new
university bog. Yup, one day a week I will be located
at university studying hard to become a ‘professional
qualified engineer’. (maybe I will one day be
responsible and educated enough in my own eyes to call
myself that, but for now and for the general public, a
piece of paper saying I graduated is enough to prove
my ‘worth’!)

“Well, what have you learnt so far then?” people keep
asking me. Well according to my lecture notes I should
now be able to calculate the heat loss in buildings
depending on the materials used and its location.

I regard myself as a simple person therefore to
summarise:

Single Layered Brick Walls and Single Glazed Windows =
Bad.
Cavity Walls and Double Glazed Windows with a Larger
Air Gap in between = Good.

Too much glare = bad
Lots of natural lighting = good

………………….

Good innit!

I intend to expand operations further and blog from my
tefl school bog next. Which will be probably next week
when I teach my students for the very first time.

Heres a look at my lesson plan so far.

Getting a tattoo and piercings in strange places =
good
Giving up your seat for old folk = bad

Scrumping apples = good
Harold shipman = bad

…………….

well i'm going back again gotta get to her somehow

Another quick update blog while on the bus. Well i'm late for work again. Nothing new there them, i still hate my manager nothing new there either. However the due date to switch departments is 2 weeks away! Yay! ........ I just saw some hobo looking dude with a large backpack approached by a woman running, out of breath to greet him with a huge hug outside waterloo station.... How nice, assuming he's been travelling i wonder where he's been?!.......... anyway I've also now started my first term of my masters course interesting but very intense. And im also 4 weeks into a 16 week tefl course whereby i'm dvd to teach my first students in 2 weeks. All this has happened since my return from hong kong. I'm so busy i'm not sure how i'm gonna cope through the new few months. Especially with the days of eternal darkness on their way and xmas to follow......... *Sigh* i'm sure its all worth it im the end..... Dam i'm late!
