Hello people!
It's been such a long time! Well I spent one whole month in the Far West (yes, yes, in the US!). It was fantastic by the way, but I couldn't post anything on here while I was saying "howdy", you see?
So well, let me tell you about my schools a bit more. You already know that I'm going to "teach" in two schools: Soham Village College and City of Ely Community College. I will mainly have lessons with year 10 and 11 classes, which means that my pupils will be between 14 and 16 years old. I will mostly take out small groups of students for oral practice. Yay, that's exactly what I wanted! :D
I'll work 12 hours a week and my timetable will be fortnightly: one week in Soham,
one week in Ely, etc. I like that I think. This way I won't have to travel between Soham and Ely in the same day! :)
I won't be allowed to wear jeans, which means I had to buy some "trousers for women" (I didn't have any! God... I love jeans!). Anyway, I'll find plenty of things to wear in my wardrobe I'm sure :P
As for my accommodation, well I told you I was going to accept the school's offer, and I did. I will live with a single mum in Soham. She looks nice! I will pay £350 a month, all bills included, and will have to provide my own food. I don't really mind though, because I have to learn how to cook! If I don't like it there, I'll find something else, but for now I'm sticking to that. I'm happy to have an address in the UK because it will help a lot for the bank account and CRB check (British police clearance)! :)
I start feeling a bit anxious about the whole thing but I'm really looking forward to it!
