Well...it began on Thursday 28th August, 2008. My career as a teacher that is. And well - your girl was all dressed, heels, skirt, accessorised...and well - no one else was. I gathered that since no students were at the school yet - dress down took full effect! lol
At my previous job, I felt so out of sorts, like I didn't belong. But the feeling i had at school was unbelieveable. An innate sense of belonging, like I am doing the right thing and I am going to do it very well! Self praise? Maybe. The staff at the school is RIDICULOUSLY young! I mean the majority under 30 I am sure. Not too sure how that will impact things but we'll see. Lots of females too...hmmm you know what that could mean? hmmm...BACCHANAL! lol
I got my timetable and my desk and I am still smiling. My friend, another teacher, LiLi works there too. I received 2 exam classes - so I plan on giving it all my best this first term and I pray that God continues to guide me.
Lots of administrative stuff to do - forms to sign blah blah...books to organise...lots. I teach Biology by the way. By day two I was fully aware of the dress code and complied! lol not that I minded at all! Got some curious looks from some of the other teachers, but all in all everyone put on their Sunday voice and was pretty nice...we'll see how that progresses. Not to be a pessimist - but I SURE they ain't all THAT nice all the time.
I am soooo happy though to be starting my dream. Wasn't always my dream, but that's another topic. Next up - meeting my classes and getting started.
Note to self: Teachers do not dress "professionally" on the first days of school.
