This is hard! Harder than I could have dreamed. Teaching is challenging, especially because there is no curriculum, which means that I have to figure it all out & my formal training is limited. Somehow or other, I will make it work. My students seem good. They are very motivated, which serves to make me work harder.
The novelty of everything has worn off. It's as if I have to change my lenses & get rid of the perspective from which I came. Life is SO different here, but I am determined to make it work, but work it will be......
One foot in front of the other......Onward!
Claudia! Happy Belated Birthday!I am enjoying your blog very much - every entry is a treat to read and imagine you in your new surroundings. How wonderful that you have such a nice family to live with AND your own bathroom.

Hey Claudia, shared your blog with the class tonight because I knew they would have words of encouragement for you.
ReplyDeleteWe are all wishing you the best. We know you will be a success. The first week was hard but the next weeks will be better and you will be feeling more at home. We like your picture. We miss you!
