This week hasnt really let up, but my brain is finally starting to wrap itself around all the grammar points it has to learn and also the methodology of teaching.
The scariest thing is that they are letting us loose on real students on Monday (poor things!) but thankfully we will not be observed by anyone, that starts on Tuesday. So if i mess up on Monday morning then i can work on my mistakes and hopefully do better the next day. Its all about the experience, but as my family will know, if i dont know the ins and outs of what and why i am doing something, i tend to get a little overwhelmed and freak out a little. But im planning on taking it slowly and methodically, so i dont end up having a strop! lol.
We had a grammar test on friday and i know i did so much better than on the one we took last week. I Knew and understood what i was writing down so that was a real bonus!
Last week Marie and i met up with the bavarian biker guy we met last weekend, and he was talking to us about Phuket town night market and offered to take us there in his jeep as he and his wife were meeting friends there anyway, which was very kind of him. So we experienced the wonder and cheapness of the night market. It was HUGE sooo many stall selling clothes and sunnies, make up and baby cloths, animals and food, everything was there. I bought myself a nice bag (because a girl can never have too many!) In most parts of the market they have plastic sheeting and random awnings hanging across the 'walkways' between the stalls just in case it rains. But because the Thai people are about 2 feet shorter than me they hang them quite low, so i spent most of the time limbo-ing under these things and trying not to get decapitated by all the ropes holding them up. I must have looked quite funny as many a tiny Thai was giggling as they watched me limbo my way from stall to stall! It was a good evening. Im really starting to love haggling.....i wonder if it would work in TopShop?!
