So after many sleepless nights of lesson plans and papers and reading, I’m almost done with my CELTA course. I finally got a reasonable night of sleep last night thanks to the efforts of a snuggly Torsten (who slept in bed with me so that he’d sleep for longer) and a lovely Christian (who fed Torsten a couple of times in the middle of the night), and all of my papers are done (and returned… and passed), so it’s just the lessons I have left to teach that remain. By today, there was only supposed to be one left, but because of when the students arrived yesterday, yesterday’s lesson got postponed until Friday, the last day of class when no one was supposed to have to teach.
Bah!
So I have a listening lesson tomorrow, and I still have a grammar lesson on the passive to teach Friday. And I am so ready to be done. And if not enough students show on Friday, I’d have to do it the next week with the new CELTA students, which would really suck, but it doesn’t look like that will have to happen.
Still, I hope I get to do this early enough on Friday that I can join the CELTA peeps for beer, because we all so need one!

Good Luck and hopefully this weekend you’ll be able to catch up with some sleep and some snuggle time!
