I wrote the last exam today. I’m so glad this class is about over. Tuesday’s the review and Thursday’s the exam. Don’t get me wrong; I’m glad I did it. It was good experience and it stretched my comfort levels, something I should probably do more often. But the time it involved, and the stress of having such an important part of a student’s life as a grade in my hands took a lot out of me. Especially the time involved. I had no idea the rest of my life was going to be so busy that I wouldn’t have time to myself anymore. Who knows whether I’ll do it again? Maybe by next year, I won’t remember how awful it was and agree to do it again. That selective memory thing we do so well. Remind me, will ya?

I remember that while at Sixth Form (doing my Alevels) my French teacher (she also taught me GCSE Italian during my time there) said she could see me being a University lecturer.

I liked the idea, but having been through Uni, I laugh something rotten at the thought of it now. I leave work to the last minute, as I'm too easily distracted by TV/books/anything else.

And also, the thought of marking essays, when a student's mark counts towards a degree grade? Scares the crap out of me....
