Hi everyone members of this community! I really hope that you all may be doing well today and yesterday and will do it well during all this week and that you have had a blessed and peaceful weekend.
As you may imagine, being a teacher is a constant self preparation and sacrifice in the best word's sense. You have to be always studying , reading, investigating, surfing on the net and finding new materials, and to develop all your creativity in order to bring better and innovative lessons and to have your students motivated.
This is my case. I am a teacher of a foreign language (due to our mother tongue is Spanish) and I am enrolled in a new challenge for me. It is my first time teaching English for an specific purpose, and it is medicine.
I am not a teacher that goes to the classroom without knowing what to do and what to talk about.
That is why today I had a time to study the textbooks and the syllabus. I have to study this kind of vocabulary because although I already know useful phrases and work for medical situations, these are not the ones that a doctor needs.
It is Tuesday, and as usual, I woke up early (I mean, my mother woke me up) after the sound of the alarm , I had breakfast, get dressed and went to the park (as usually too) to wait for the bus, but with the whole family. My mother, my aunt and me had to go the master's course and my little sister had to go to school.
I have not photos of these moments because they were a little bit difficult, specially the bus, because there were so much people and it got full and some people argue and it was a real mess, and this part of my day is not the protagonist of this post.
In the university everything went better. Our tutors gave us a big amount of information and orientations to start working in our first seminar related with our thesis that will be held in the first days of December.
At noon I was in a car with my mom to go back home because it was raining today. Casually, our friend and neighbour arrived and had a sit next to us.
After lunch I took my agenda, my pen, my laptop and my phone. I read the documents and took some notes to know the names of the units, their duration and the contents treated in each of them.
I was more relaxed when I noticed that the topics are not as complex as I thought before received them. I was expectant about knowing them to start planning and studying myself.
I am happy because although I have to keep studying and keeping my self preparation, I know that I can deal with it. After a so productive day, I gotta go to bed because I am exhausted.
I hope having you here in my next adventure.
With love: Vicky ❤️
