Ooooh, so that's how it works.

Today was a day filled with wonder and marvel. Because it is an unlucky day, being Friday the 13th, Evi decided to take all the bad luck and hit everything she possibly could. Poor girl. The day started out with planning followed by a meeting with Viv. She explained to us that the members of staff were a bit disappointed in our appearance due to the fact that we were not that active and that we only wanted to teach lessons (so take over their teaching) instead of co-teaching or helping them with other tasks. When we heard this we were (completely) shocked. We thought we had to only teach (like we do in Belgium) but this time in pairs. We were caught off gaurd by this and after our very informative talk with Viv we jolted into action.

As a result of our sudden burst of motivation, inspiration, ... my timetable (that contained 7 hours before our talk) now contains 17 hours that I will be teaching or co-teaching. I have signed up for the following subjects: French, English (where I will eventually teach about Dutch Literature), Psychology, History, PSCHE, Business, ICT and PE (= LO). Martyn, the PE teacher, is a real nice fella who we all like. We had a chat for ours and he is the biggest fan of Natalia, who only needed one short conversation to convince him, and we will all be teaching 1 or 2 PE lessons.

All my subjects and subject teachers look like angels, especially Victoria, who teaches English and Literature, just because her love for books.

For the rest of the day we relaxed, had some fajitas (hope I spell it right) made by Evi and I screwed around getting photobucket linked with the blogspot. That did not work with the built in function especially made for photobucket so I had to do something else. I hope the technology wont fail on me now.

Tomorrow is shopping day, maybe a bit of pokemon and hair cutting day too. We will see.

Signing off
