Survive First Year of Teaching - Tick
Dec. 19th, 2009 03:08 amI refresh my LJ and think to myself "Lish, you really need to update - you haven't updated properly in ages." But I don't have anything important or even mildly interesting to say.
Work officially finished for the year last Friday, so I've already had a week of break. We had the Christmas service and then the end of year staff lunch at a rather fancy place called Potter's out in Warrandyte. I actually enjoyed the lunch, which is unlike me. Mostly, I hung out with Nicole, who is the other English Language teacher. We made linguistics jokes during the service, like noting how many imperative sentences there were in the prayers during the service. Lulz.
It seems that I have survived my first year of teaching. I feel like I should be proud, or relieved, or something. But what I feel instead is anxiety about next year. I really don't think next year is going to be any easier. :-/
Anyway, I'm enjoying my break so far, but sliding into antisocial hermitage again. So, before I turn completely into a cave troll... who wants to hang out?
