Well, that was fun. Got up at 5:30 in the morning, it's now quarter to eight in the evening and I've only just finished for the day.

The course structure, I should explain, outside of the school placements which start next month, is to spend Thursday and Friday at college on subject-specific stuff - i.e. learning how to be a science teacher - whilst Monday to Wednesday are spent on campus, learning to be a teacher. So today's classes had up to around a hundred students in them, doing everything from History to PE. Then we got split into our study groups of around 20 and got on with the rest of the day.

Irritatingly, after all the paperwork etc. said that today was registration day and everything had to be brought with us today, they put it off to tomorrow - causing a certain amount of resentment, it must be said, but so it goes.

The "link log" is going to be a bit of a chore. Writing up what you learned that day is one thing. Linking it into the professional standards and supplying references to back up/expand on your points is quite another.

Oh well. It's only three days a week, I suppose, and if I wanted a career without annoying forms to fill in and tick-boxes to keep religiously checked, I shouldn't have opted for teaching, I guess :)
