Last week was absolutely awful, last period on Monday I had my first lecturer crit. The lecturer would not listen to reason or explanation and made me cry.... I don't cry easily. I just felt that he was so incredibly unreasonable and he could have paid attention to my explanations had he wanted to. He also did tge entire crit in Afrikaans. Although my Afrikaans is alright, I feel that he could have made more effort to speak English.
After Monday I was incredibly depressed and it took me a while to regain my normal composure and sunny disposition, so even though I carried on teaching my grade 9 class last week and my gade 10 class, which I did enjoy, and attended my classes, I felt like there was a large black cloud looming over me, blocking out the sunshine and threatening rain. I shouldn't be so whimsical that I let a little thing affect me so much, but I've been unsure of the subject since the beginning and I just felt that even though I was doing my best I was failing.
That crit really unnerved me so I spent a lot of time last week reviewing the classes I gave and prepping for my crits this week.
Hope everyone else had a good week
Xxx
