I am what I am

Today was my first day at my new job and, unlike my previous teaching jobs, it has been all about the talk. Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing the process, it's just, as I Said, different.

Usually, when you join an EFL school, the induction consists of lots of 'getting to know you', moving around reading little pieces of paper (aka mingle activities), brainstorming and occasionally poster producing. All invigorating and reflecting the way we are supposed to teach (even if I sometimes find such activities embarrassing and childish). Here it has been much more grown-up. Mainly sitting, listening, asking questions and reading information which, I hazard, reflects the teaching method (we are at a university after all).

My head is buzzing with so much information and, to tell the truth, I am a little scared of what I am expected to do. However, I can only do my best and the support here seems very good.

As they say, that which doesn't kill us, makes us stronger.
