I mentioned previously that I am doing a one-year teaching training course. I'm loving it now. I've enjoyed it all so far, but I'm particularly happy just in the last couple of weeks as I'm settling into my second teaching practice quite well. My mentor is really fantastic, a really nice person who knows how to train a teacher. As a result of a few of the lessons this week and a couple of interesting discussions with Denise, my mentor, I think I've learnt more about teaching than I learnt in the entire course since September!

Today I visited the Great Britain, one of the world's most famous ships. The musuem and the ship itself is quite interesting and well worth a visit if you're anywhere near Bristol. One ticket gets you admission for a full year, and I'll be back again soon. I was there for just two hours this morning, and would have stayed much longer, but I left to watch the final Formula 1 race of the season.

On Aug 29th August 2008 I decided to become a teacher. Now, less than two weeks later, I'm settled into a PGCE course at the University of the West of England (UWE) in Bristol, England. It's a pretty big and sudden decision but I feel like it's the right thing and everything so far has gone well. Like of lot of office drones, I had been considering teaching quite often over the years.
