Student: Revisited

All those times when I whined and complained over when I would be able to do my PGCE are finally over! I am now in UBD doing my PGCE and have been so since early August =)

The truth is, all the myths about having a holiday and a break from teaching, lesson plans, markings etc are overrated. It is not a so-called 'honeymoon' period, and a holiday? More like, no holiday.(I am sure in-service teachers are reminded of the time when all their ex-colleagues began their Puasa holiday on 17th September, and ours began on 29th September - a staggering 2 weeks difference!)

But on a lighter note, not having to be in school by 7 is an incredible luxury (though it doesn't mean I can sleep in), and reversing roles is kind of fun. I get to be the audience, as opposed to the teacher. And now I remember how difficult it is to concentrate in class.... Hmmm....

Seriously though, markings are substituted with assignments and essay writing, lesson plans are substituted with preparation for discussions in class (although, granted, we rarely do this), and staybacks are replaced with the afternoon classes. I did hear I got it lucky, because some people have classes at night.

All in all, it's been a fun ride. Although we have been labeled as the troublemakers by some lecturers. It's an impulse. But learning again is a lot of fun, and FINALLY!! Those grammar things make sense! Life is great again. Till next time~
