The second week of the new school year is now over. Have we begun with classes yet? Sadly no. Our timetable is not yet complete, though a few teachers who are eager to begin grabbed the classes they wanted and taught a little throughout the week. Which is what I did and have found that I am more excited than ever about teaching. I can only hope this doesn't wear off as the year progresses. Sure I've only assigned their seats, talked about and created class rules with them, and did one introductory lesson, but I still really enjoyed it and being with my learners. Thus far they haven't really bothered me at my house, which might be one contributing factor to me really enjoying being at school. When I am at home, I need time to myself. To not be surrounded by a million children and to just relax. Last year they didn't really allow me that by knocking on my door every 10 minutes.
Also, I am beginning the year being way more organized than how I started last year. And I also have a better idea of what the hell it is I am supposed to do. Teaching for the first time is rough. And now I have a better grasp on it. I feel more confident in the classroom.
So. I hope this newfound love keeps up. Not that I hated school last year, but I always looked forward to the weekends and sometimes school drove me crazy. Now, my favorite part of the week is actually being at work. Which is weird. My weekends are boring and I look forward to being at school.
One year left, and I have high hopes. I have plans for decreasing my school's need for volunteers. Specifically with the computer lab. And I realize this plan may not play out as perfect as I'd like. But it's still a plan. And I already have an idea of the problems that could (and probably will) occur.
To sum it up, Sarah is having a great start to the year.
