What happens in a CELTA course : Week 2
Day 6, 10 Nov
0200 hrs - Finally finished the first assignment. Now off to some much needed sleep!
1200 hrs - Just three hours of sleep last night!. Man! Am so sleepy. Can’t wait for the day to end so that I can go home and get some much needed sleep.
Weekly off, 11 Nov
1300 hrs - Woke up a couple of hours ago. Slept for 13 hours or so. But I feel like sleeping some more. Off to sleep again.
1800 hrs - Was under the impression that only a part of written assignment 2 needs to be submitted. Surprise!!! No the entire assignment needs to be submitted. Damn!!! Now, I feel I shouldn’t have slept as much!
Day 07, 12 Nov
0000 hrs - Finished the assignment 2 in two hours and was elated. Only to realize that it needs to be submitted at 9 in the morning tomorrow and I don’t have a printer at home. I can’t even get it printed this time of the night or even early morning tomorrow. Now got to hand write the entire thing. In a neat legible handwriting. FML!!!!! :'(
1500 hrs - Can’t believe that am already on my way to deliver my third lesson. And it’s been what? A week since we started??? :-|. Things are going too fast, I must say. Well at least, its an off tomorrow. And there’s no assignment or lesson plan to prepare for in the next couple of days. Mind you, that all the fellow trainees are not as fortunate as I am. I am not complaining though.
Day 08, 14 Nov
1700 hrs - And I thought I was done with an assignment and half of the total of four that trainees are supposed to submit as a part of the course. I’ve got a re-submit with both and one of those needs to resubmitted the day after. The same day that I have a TP. Hardwork and long nights ahead!
Day 09, 15 Nov
1800 hrs - Can’t believe that we’re almost done with half of the course. On Monday, we move from pre-intermediate level to upper intermediate for our TP. That will be another challenge all together. Awesome to experience this environment where you are challenged every day and every hour.
Day 10, 16 Nov
1800 hrs - One more written assignment to be submitted. Monday morning! Not that I did not know it before hand. Just that the day has finally dawned when I need to start working on it. And I have a bachelor’s party to attend as well this weekend. So that cuts down the available time to do the assignment even further. One more thing I notice is that I hardly got any time to note down observations, musings and rants during this week to blog about. Will I be able to continue this, I wonder!
