With the kids and my hubby
And back to school for me, I'm trying to stay in good cheer.
It's a biz-busy time of the year.
It's the cray-craziest time of them all.
With readings, assignments and placements and testing,
It feels like I may hit the wall.
It's the cray-craziest time of them all!
In my last post, I mentioned my busyness and I eluded to the fact that I would be taking an exam. Yep, I did it! I registered for the TESL (teaching English as a second language) program at Seneca College. It was a six week long adventure!
I wrote the exam on Valentine's day and I've been enjoying two weeks off ever since. But, on Monday I start back for another six weeks to complete part two of the program.
Once I'm done that, I'll be able to teach ESL to adults!
I won't lie, juggling school full-time and all things family wasn't easy. It felt like we faced every challenge known to families during those six weeks. Weather, sickness and injuries were a few of the highlights that resulted in bus cancellations, traffic jams, and visits to the walk-in clinic and emerg. But, I lived to tell about it and in the end it was worth it (I think). I'm looking forward to starting part two of the course because when I finish, I'll be that much closer to getting back to teaching with a renewed focus on communication.
