Jumping Back In



Well, I am back at it. After a nice 1.5 week holiday, I have returned to a regular work schedule. The first day is always the worst.

Wake up early. Try to remember what it is I am going to teach. Remember everyone's name (only a problem for a few today). Plan upcoming lessons and assessments. Stay at work late. Walk home because I have no ojek money. And finally...

Home.

Even after 5 days away in Jogjakarta doing language school, I have the feeling of HOME when I walk back into my apartment. My time in Jogja was good though. Visiting Borobudur again and spending a good 24 hours in class. Thankfully, being a student again was quite enjoyable and helped me to take a different perspective on learning. Interactive learning is so important, and I really have a new passion to use it in my classroom. Now to keep the energy and passion fresh for the rest of the year!!
