In Other Words

Taught

So yesterday I taught my first lessons. Originally it was meant to teach only two people one and a half hour each, but then they had some last minute requests for lessons and I was the only one available. Not that they forced them down my throat, or anything, but I decided to take them anyway.

‘Of the deep end’ I thought to myself. So in the end I taught six hours of classes. That’s not bad. That’s about as much time as I’m willing to put into it, though. I don’t think that they will try to give me any more than nine ‘blocks’ of classes, however.

The first class was good, but after that it got more difficult. I managed to swim, so to say, but only barely. I imagine I’ll manage to do better today, however. Or, at least, I can hope I will do better.

The thing is that besides this teaching job I’ve also got myself commission for another project that needs to be done soon and I haven’t yet written a word for it. That, I will admit, might turn into a serious problem. I have a feeling that these next few months are going to turn into a work slug fest. That’s not all bad, though. It’s about time I start getting a serious career under way.

At least this time around I’ll be making some decent money. Better than the crap salary they dared pass off in Australia (and then they took 30 percent of it too!). All I can say is ‘Sri Lanka, here we come!’
