Well, I haven’t blogged in awhile so I thought I needed to do a little since I am very stressed this week with some lack of professionalism issues that I have run up against. I almost sang that song, “Take this job and shove it…I ain’t workin here no more” but overall, the semester is moving along great.
Dr. Kania’s History of the Spanish language is so difficult but she is a great teacher and I am learning a lot which is what is important. My TESOL classes are right on target with what I need to learn and they complement by Spanish classes and GTA teaching. My 1441 students are awesome and I am so much happier teaching university students than high schoolers. It has helped me to focus myself in not what I planned to do 20 years ago but what I want to do now. They are just wanting to learn…all you have to do is show them you want to teach them and you care…unlike high school where that attitude for over 13 years gave me discipline problems and a plethora of other problems that I havent had to think about. No patrolling the bathrooms, no confiscating cell phones, and no looking at what someone is wearing and deciding if it is “appropriate or not”…what a waste of my time and a slap to my professionalism to be demoted to confiscator, police, and dean of clothing. I dont even want to think about that anymore. It is dreamy as Marsha from the Brady Bunch would say.
I am working on a film analysis of Antes que Anochezca for my Latin American Revolution class. It is allowing me to look at the movie from a totally different perspective. Hopefully, I will be able to adapt it to a conference presentation. More to come!!!
