Magical Mystery Tour

This is what I'm calling my summer away to make it a little more acceptable. I'm looking forward to a magical mystery tour more than I would be to "Summer Intensive Teacher Training" ;)

Basically, I fell into the job I have now. I absolutely love it and I think that I'm good at it but there's a chance I may be out of work in March. So in case that happens and to get some formal training, I'm going back to the motherland for a month-long intensive course.

I'm kind of looking forward to learning, and studying, and finding out if I really am on the right path or if I'm completely lost in the trees. Though it's a little bit of an expensive way to find out this is the wrong path for me...

I just don't like this intensive aspect! I'm not too good at focusing on one thing for a long time, and I very much like my own time.

Fears:
I'm afraid I will be bad at the course even though I technically might be the most experienced.

I'm afraid that I'll get burned-out and do badly.

I'm afraid I'll fail just because I'm no good.

I'm afraid that if I have good ideas other people will copy from me and get better marks.

I'm afraid I'll hate the actual job part of the training, and then where does that leave me?

Stress coping strategies
5 minute morning yoga
Meditations on my iPhone
breathing techniques
a happy-song playlist
a chill-out song playlist
5 mins journalling at the end of the day

I will be keeping off the internet as much as I can unless it's for research so I will probably be back on this blog (my safe place) in September all newly-qualified!

Have a magical summer!
