Preparing materials, getting organized, looking for ideas, checking our beloved site, trying to find new tips to improve the discipline, correcting tests, yes... that ´s my life too! I ´m caught in it and that ´s what I want for the moment  I feel exactly like all of you! But I never saw myself working in an office from 8:00 to 16:00....

Oh, yeah! I do have free time.
I love movies, and start watching one. In the middle of it I take a pen and a piece of paper and take notes: scene 3, phrasal verb lesson 84, book 7....
If I ´m listening to music (most American) I pay attention to vocabulary, grammar topics... And most of time I start a great ws with the song before it ends.
Am I getting crazy? Or... crazier?

Look my darling, don ´t worry , all teachers around the world feel the same because our job is achieved not only in the class but also at home. But if you are married , you have to give more attention to your family, and PLAN free time as you plan it for your sheets.
Good luck |

With the art of teaching comes the art of "just winging it". Teachers should make a point of putting this into their program! Teachers (at least ones like you guys and gals-there are quite a few that I know that punch out of and black out school every day at the same time when they hear the magical sound of the bell) I was saying great preparers as many of you seem to be have so much info clogged up in those heads of yours that you just don ´t have enough time to get it all out. Every now and then one has just to go with the flow, take it a little easier, don ´t have such high expectations of one ´s self..take a night off...(ok i ´ll go over the edge now)..DON ´T PREPARE (always) ... and learn just to "wing it" a little bit more every now and then!
