Cambridge... again
It's been a whole month since I could last get on the internet .... but finally we've got the internet in our house.
The start of my PGCE course has been quite crazy so far and we must have been given a couple of rainforests worth of paper and booklets etc... but I have to admit i'm having a great time. Choosing to do Drama alongside English was such a good decision, even though I was really unsure about it right until I got into the drama studio. Some of the games and role-plays they've had us doing have had me crying with laughter... I've still got to master the art of telling people to 'be the fire', 'come on feel it guys', 'you are the fire, wild, uncontrollable' etc,etc without laughing... it kinda spoils the effect.
I've started my first placement .... and am itching to actually get started with teaching.
oooo and I discovered the joys of interactive whiteboards today... I got so excited that I think I started jumping... hmmm small things!!!
Talking of excitement and jumping I think I've found the church I will go to in Cambridge and having lunch with a group of students I came across someone who had ACTUALLY VISITED THE VINE before!!! Now that made me fairly excited la.
Our house is awesome. Along with me there are two PGCE (primary) students who are also Christians and they spent the last year being missionaries around the world. It's great being able to do bible studies together alongside all the kinds of things I did with my housemates last year. There are also another 4 international students in the house, so there's always something going on. We've entertained for loads of people at least twice already ... a dinner party and a cake party. There's something so awesome about entertaining. We've also done the whole 'normal person' weekend thing and gone out and bought and built flatpacked bookshelves for our living room. Nice but weird!!!
Anyway that'll do for now as I've got to get back to work ... choosing a poem to teach to year 10's , planning a scheme of drama work on melodrama and masks, and starting the reading for my next essay ... plus I have to get up at 6:30am tomorrow so I can make it in to school on time *sigh* my undergraduate days are well and truly over.
Oh and I've only fallen off my bike once and lost a shoe, whilst cycling, once this week ... an improvement on my first weeks. In anycase I blame the uni for giving us too much paper, when it's in my basket it makes me overbalance everytime I have to stop!!!
