It's only semi autobiographical
Saturday, May 27, 2006
Not an angry diatribe.
Today's entry, though, is actually about something happening in my life. I have been asked to an interview at Bath University, for a Postgraduate Certificate of Education course in Mathematics. One step closer to becoming a teacher!
I am not overly nervous about the interview, since I have several factors in my favour. I really do want to be a teacher, I am not just in it for the cash(!). I like to talk about maths, enjoy talking in front of a room of people, and have a genuine enthusiasm for learning more about learning.
The fact that I am in the process of finishing my degree at Bath will hopefully have an effect, plus it means there is little to no travel time involved for the interview process. Then there is the fact that I am committed to living here next year anyway... so the sob story is a last resort!
Exams then, are my only worry.
I am probably looking at a 2.2 now, given the way my last two went, but you never know, I could completely screw up, or have a moment of genius. If you had told me 3 years ago that I would get a 2.2, I would have probably been disappointed. But to be fair to myself, Maths is a bloody hard degree. I am still not sure whether I would trade in a third in maths for a first in psychology. It is all about the perception I guess.
Now I'm tired, but I'm going to revise.
Comments:
I'm sure you'll be fine, and I think you'd make a great teacher, you've got the nice "scary look" to freak out the disobedient pupils.
And maths>all other subjects. This is clearly true because, I mean, come on!
