Nov. 3rd, 2005 01:09 pmI was rudely awoken by the temping agency on Monday morning (at 8.40am) asking me if I wanted to work. Having had the miseries about not having much money I accepted and have been working at Faith Shoes H/O in Park Royal this week. I’m doing silly things like writing addresses on envelopes. I do have a good view out of the window, which looks out onto Acton cemetery. I’ve never seen so much traffic in a graveyard before. People seem to just drive in and park next to graves, and there are huge lorries zooming about too. What with the tube line running underneath I don’t think the dead get much rest.
I got my first teaching job on Tuesday night, covering a class of Elementary learners (who mostly won’t even as good as Elemenatry). It was a two hour lesson, which is more than twice the length of the last lesson I taught. I managed to keep the momentum going for the first hour, but the second hour lagged, and even I was slightly fed up, especially when I discovered that the activity I’d set at the end of the class had already been done by the students. I’ll be raiding the British Council website next time for lesson plans!
On an unrelated topic, am I the only person who feels the need to hibernate now the clocks have gone back? No matter how early I go to bed I still wake up absolutely exhausted. Gideon has to keep shaking me awake every time I fall back to sleep.
