Well people, it is done! I have survived the madness that is Patong town and also the EFL course. There is no denying it, it was a hard slog and my brain is chock full of grammar and methodology knowledge that has possibly been etched onto my scull but i have had an awsome time through out it all. Meghan, Marie and Adam are fantastic and i don't think i could have asked for a better group of people to do this course with, even though they are slightly crazy!
The teaching test this morning went ok, a few mistakes were made but nothing major and i had some very good comments from Kim, the teacher who observed me. Our grammar teacher asked me how i could only get 86% in my test! I told him that considering that i didnt even know how to describe what a verb was at the beginning of the month i thought that 86% was pretty damn fabulous, as was i. The methodology test was a doosy, lots of writing and a few essay type questions, but i think i just about got it. We dont get our results until later on this evening but i think we have all passed. I will have to show you all my teaching skills when i get home........in 3 days!!!!!
Tonight, we are kicking back, relaxing and drinking a few Tiger beers because we deserve it! There is a party at a bar that is run by an ex teacher at the school and we are all going, even some of the teachers and other students from the school. I think it will be a good night and a lot of fun. Its Meghan, Adam and Marie's last night in Patong tonight as they are traveling to Bangkok and then to Cambodia. Its going to be very weird with out them here to hang out with for the last two days and i shall miss them and their craziness. But Marie is coming home for Christmas and she lives in London so we are going to meet up and do some proper crimbo shopping at Lakeside!
Well, i guess this is the last post on here. I will see you all in a few days! Much love to you all.
