My first class finished a couple of days ago and the students, and more importantly, I managed to survive. On the last day the lead instructor announced that I would be taking lead on the next class. I received some applause and congratulations from the class. On the inside I was saying 'shit' but took it in stride. The great thing about being 2nd instructor is you can pass all the decisions and blame back to the lead. It had to happen sometime so I'll tackle that in the new year.
The course went well overall, I made some improvements on my teaching but still have more to learn. In the end, my biggest mistake was to grant the students Facebook access while the course was still going on. Having not cleaned up my pictures in 6 years they got a peak at events from my life that people who are supposed to respect and fear you shouldn't. lesson learnt.
Now I'm starting my 8000 km journey back home for the holidays. It will take about 30 hours to get home as long as all goes smoothly. Here's hoping.
