If yesterday was a gentle introduction, today was anything but. I was bombarded with so much stuff from every direction today and while outwardly I remained calm, inside my brain and stomach were whirring and lurching respectively. Nothing bad just trying to get my head round everything I need to do just to stand up and teach one topic to one class for 65 minutes.
My two biggest fears are 1. My mind going blank on the subject matter and not being able to string to words together and 2. Not standing up and being tough on behaviour (or trying to be too tough and not backing it up).
Ted is also in Band 1 for Maths and probably everything else so at least they will be on the right track for Monday. I have made tentative enquiries about getting involved outside the department - Business and Enterprise and PE...probably Cross Country.
