Throwing Chalk: diary of a trainee teacher

Well today is Wednesday (wed-nes-day) as I like to spell it out in my head to remind me how to spell it right - and tomorrow is Thurs-day.

<<<- Me - positively raring to go, tomorrow

First day back at North Brassington College. For the start of the 2nd year of my PGCE. Apparently the 2nd year is a lot easier - that is the skinny from a friend of someone who is on my course. It's mainly doing your teaching hours and filling in the miles and miles of evidence that you've done it. Well I did it last year and in true Chad Logan style - i think I got 95% for my portfolio - well, i got a mark through the post that said 95 - though it didn't state what that was out of. I don't think I'll ask. I'll just go on believing the best of myself. I did spend ages on it. Like a swot. So let's believe that, huh? Chad rocks!!!

Yeah, back to college. Though I guess it has been an enormously long summer (though weatherwise: not). The only small fly in the ointment is that I've also arranged to visit Porringo College at 9.30am tomorrow to discuss my teaching of Ingerlish & also some lunchtime Creative Writing sessions there. So - a bit of a conflict. O well. I'll go to Porringo and then arrive unfashionably late at North Brassington College. C'est la vie. And the exciting events will be recounted here for my as yet unimagined reader...

Toodle pip. And keep tuned for more - something. Hopefully good things. Worth blogging about...

I'm almost nervous. Hopefully, just enough to get myself out of bed on time and up to West Fulchester in time for my appointments...
