Well, one thing that is very nice about going back to work is the abundance of air conditioning. Last week I was at home most of the time and I think I was running one air conditioner or another for almost 24 hours a day. It is nice to let my company pick up the bill this week.
I’m enjoying my classes this week. My students are telling me about their holidays and I’m trying to get them speaking as much as possible before I leave them for two weeks to go on my own holiday.
During this week I am also casually planning my next term with the person in charge of English classes for next term. I’m trying to make sure I have enough time to plan lessons and do a good job for each of my students and also to teach as many classes as possible. Working out that balance is important to my mental health over the term, so I hope we get it right.
One change next term is that I think I’ll have a chance to teach a business English writing class, which is something I haven’t done for this company yet. I’m really looking forward to making up a curriculum and getting started with some motivated students!
