Procrastination and celebration

I actually enjoyed today’s lesson! I think that was partly because I’d chosen a subject I find interesting (the story of Grace Darling), but also because the language was at the right level for the students (it could have been harder, but it wasn’t too easy), so they weren’t bored. Everyone was very grateful to have their errors corrected. The class was even pleased when they didn’t have time to finish the final task and I set it for homework! For the first time since starting the course I’m thinking that English teaching is something I might actually be able to do - that it might even be quite fun!

We went straight home after teaching today (at lunchtime), supposedly giving us plenty of time to start planning our one-to-one lessons for Friday. In fact I managed to waste most of the afternoon. I’m not quite sure how, but it got to about 4.00 and I hadn’t really done anything. Amazing how easy it is to procrastinate, even when you know that you have a lot of work and not really enough time to do it in.
