Work, work, work

Sorry I've been slacking on the whole blogging thing.  Things have become quite a bit more busy over here.  I have now been working at my job 6-days a week for three months now.  It has taken up much of my time and focus.  It is quite a bit different from my comfortable 4-days a week that I initially had. 

The past three months I have been teaching some new and old classes.  I have mentioned this before, but I tell you again how the classes are laid out at my job. 

We have the basic classes:  EC3 and EC4
Going on to the most common and largest classes:  Memory Mega, Giga and Tera
Moving to the more advanced classes:  Bridge, Par and Birdie
To the Upper level classes: Eagle, Albatross, Albatross +, iBT TOEFL
Finally to the top class: Masters

This past term, I was blessed with having some amazing classes and amazing students.  I taught Memory Mega and Giga as well as three Birdie classes.  I also taught an extra class called study hall for those students who need a little extra help on various skills.  The classes were great and we were able to talk about many different topics.  Some were very fun, like fast-food and Alexander the great.  However, we did have some topic that were quite difficult for even myself.  I found myself teaching the kids about Iron and the smelting process. 

The three month term has finally finished and I start a new term with very new classes.  My supervisor has surprised me with a schedule that I never thought that I would have.  I am now teaching in almost every different class type that we have.  Here is my schedule:

EC 3 (that's right the tiny kids who can barely speak a lick of English), Par (the only class I taught before), Eagle reading and listening, Albatross Reading and iBT TOEFL (Pretty much a class on how to take a test that I'm sure I would not do well in!)

I hopefully will be taking the time to write another blog soon about my personal life, but I am so focused on work that it may just be a pipe dream.  Maybe my mom or sister will start motivating me to write more (I mention you two as you're probably the only two that read this!)  Until next time!

  1. yay! I'm famous, you mentioned me in your blog! So here is your motivation...if you don't keep blogging I am going to start posting pictures of your favorite thing that you can't get where you are. Ben and Jerry's. I'll talk about how delicious it is and all about the new flavors that you will never get to try. Mo-ha-ha-ha. That's my evil laugh.
