Time For Everything: MY WORK (il mio lavoro)

Not much to say here, other than the fact that things have picked up, I’m getting paid, and there are ups and downs of teaching. UPS –Last week, two of my favorite students (who couldn’t say ANYTHING in English when they began a month ago) had a conversation between THEMSELVES in perfect English using mixed tenses and balanced-arguments, without realizing it. I thought I was translating from Italian, and then realized that they were actually speaking English. Made my week. DOWNS—lesson planning sucks. Spending hours putting together power-points and dialogues and finding images is really a lot less fun than I thought it would be. No worries about wanting to be a teacher for the rest of my life.

Although I need to add that they just might be a new blog entry soon about some major changes in work soon. I’ll keep you posted……..
