week in review

At the end of week one i've somehow managed to get up at 5:30am every morning thus far (and at 5:31 have each morning then muttered to myself that i won't be able to keep that up in the long run), have already been on two learning journeys (and at the least have learnt how to better jaga very energetic and restless students), and have yet to eat at the purported best thing about being posted to the particular school (though on the plus side even the fare in the school canteen already beats that at nie).

This upcoming week will feature my first (of so many) attempts at conducting lessons in this school, and to that end i was racking my brain trying to think of interesting ways to lead up to a compo for monday's lesson (and no success yet). Somehow though doing up lesson plans now seems less of a chore than it did all of two weeks ago. Maybe cos this case they're done with a tangible audience in mind (and maybe also just cos this is not nie). Thankfully the people at the school (at least thus far) have been real nice and welcoming, so things are hardly as daunting as i thought they might have otherwise turned out to be. Workload has also (again at least thus far) still been manageable. Still a long way to go, of course, but at least it's a promising start :)
