I Got a JOB!!
So it's official!!! I have a job. I start at a high school in Greenwich, London on January 5th.
The kids are apparently a bit nuts, but I figure now is the time to get my classroom management skills in the bag.
So now i'm looking for either large double bed rooms or possibly a studio in the area.. needless to say I'm excited. And a bit scared

Congrats! I'm going to try to be inspirational without being a downer. hah.. I taught high school for a year. It is tough when you start, but it does become easier as you get used to being in the classroom and planning lessons. The main reason I stopped was because I was in a bad atmosphere at the school and I thought that if I didn't get my masters now, I probably never would. Good luck!
