Starting Over

Following this week's study, I've re-read my assignments from the Milan DELTA and I can see where I went wrong. I've also re-read the (few) comments I received on them from the tutor and I can see that they really didn't address the issues. The comments were well meant and probably the best the tutor could do at that time given his lack of experience (my tutor wasn't the course leader but someone who was training up).

I really wish I didn't have to do so much writing again and I've been putting it off but experience has shown me that when I don't get something the first time, a repetition sticks. So this week I'll be writing a listening background assignment. In all honesty I'll probably tweak the one I wrote two years ago to see if I've got the message (and I'll have to do a new lesson plan etc.) and then it's on with a vocabulary one. I haven't written a vocabulary assignment before so that'll be something new.

New regime starts tomorrow: writing and gym in the morning, studying in the afternoons and teaching in the evenings. Do not expect coherence from me for the next three weeks (after which I will collapse in a quivering heap and expect hugs and kisses from everyone).
