observatiestage

today after work, i had an hour to kill at a sandwich bar before i took off for my training. i had to observe some lessons at a local school here in Antwerpen.

i got pretty nervous when i was waiting. tried to sketch a bit but i couldnt keep my mind off my the observation. 

finally the time came and i went to the school. i observed two classes. they were very different in terms of, well, subject for one... and teaching styles for two... i must say it was a great opportunity. i have listened to several teachers (as a student) but observing a class as a "future teacher" if i may say :), was something else. being the empathy monster i am, i always used to try and think from a student's point of view when it came to teaching. but today my thoughts have changed a bit... i wonder... is this what growing up like? i always thought it would be boring :P
oh well. i am a bit tired and sleepy and tomorrow is yet another tough day-except for the evening when i will me meeting my gals to have some fun downtown :) it is hard to describe my thoughts now, but all i can say is today was the day when i realized:
that i really really really want to be an art teacher
that i will do it very very very very very happily here in belgium
that i really feel my thoughts and ideas evolving through my education and trainings
and that i like it a lot :)
