I have absolutely nothing to say. Except that yesterday was the last day of my teacher training course, and it was probably the most informative of the entire year. Our professors asked teachers who'd been through the program two or three years ago to come back and tell us about their first experiences as full-fledged teachers with an 18-hour/week workload.
As I listened, I wondered why these teachers hadn't come to see us at the beginning of the school year. Their advice was so practical -- no didactic bla-bla -- and THAT'S what I've needed to learn.
But whatever. In a year or two I'll be asked to go back and recount my experiences. I hope I can sound as confident as those young teachers (all of them were younger than I am).
In the meantime, I'm waiting to hear where I'll be teaching next year. I do hope it's not too far away. A lot is hanging in the balance.
