I'm just about to come to the end of my 1 year fixed term contract at work, and was beginning to wonder what next year would have in store. Today I found out! It would appear that all the cockups I've made during the last 12 months have gone unnoticed, and they've given me a full time job as 'Lead Tutor'. I think that means I get a bigger stick to hit the students with, and maybe even a clipboard to make me look more important. The course I teach on will more than double in size next intake, and the company as a whole is growing at a pretty scary rate, so it's looking good for the next couple of years.
I've decided to add to my meagre collection of qualifications by studying for an Adult Teaching Certificate, and I'm also investigating doing a Psychology degree extra-murally with a view to specialising in 'the learning process' & learning styles. Hopefully that'll keep me busy for a while.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we're addicted to watching movies on the 'big screen' now. Better than going to the pictures! Still got heaps of decorating to do, but I suspect it will all get left until after Christmas when we come back off our hols. Putting the screen up was a big mistake. "Should we do some decorating, or should we watch a movie this evening? Hmm.... tough choice..." Needless to say, we haven't lifted a paint brush in anger for a while - although Helen is sorting out the fireplace in the dining room.
Right, I've got to go and teach sex ed to a bunch of 17 & 18 year old girls now. Should be an interesting afternoon! :)
