All the emotions. (My first ever lesson)

Evening my reader, I hope all is well and you've had a good day. And I'd love to say a personal hello to A.Prima - my most devoted reader and one of the most amazing, kindest and loving people I have had the good fortune to meet.

This new year has been truly incredible so far - the amount of new teachers & subjects combined with the massive chunk of information made my head go slightly dizzy (in a good way!). I thoroughly enjoyed being back on my first day of year 2  - old familiar faces, jubilant and excited talks about the recent-but-gone-for-good holidays, casual questions of completely confused freshmen like "where is the bloody classroom?!". It'd be fair to say I've come to a confident realisation of my love to The University. The very place where I feel myself change, where I become more "me". So many emotions again, someone help me out haha. Education is genuinely a remarkable thing.

There's another reason why I'm typing away - my first very own lesson took place just yesterday. Gosh, I'm still not over the fact I was actually teaching a bunch of 25 year olds. How did this even happen?? (considering my height the situation probably looked even more hilarious)
But nonetheless I cannot express how immensely grateful and happy I am for this opportunity - after the lesson was over I realised what great work responsibility it is to be a Teacher. The number of little things (including psychological!) it requires, the ability to love and appreciate your students yet not to let them relax and pass the most of your Knowledge onto them. INTERACTION, for God's sake.

I can go on talking about this literally for ages, but tonight my time is unfortunately limited (duh) as I am TRANSLATING A MOTHERFRICKING GERMAN LECTURE. How bloody awesome is that?? Jeez, take me three years ago, back to the times when I was a spineless scholar learning mathematical formulae (which turned out to be of absolutely no use at all), dreaming to have English (and partly German!) lectures and being surrounded with soulmates who are passionate about it too. I've heard that if you strongly wish for something, The Universe tends to do everything possible for you to achieve you goal. Why, I'm starting to think there really is something about this statement.

To conclude I'd love to mention (guess what aha) the weather. Seriously buzzing for the chill, autumn is just hands down my favourite season of all - those dull, cold, grey, rainy days are eeverything. Oh and it's also going to be my birthday in under a week, but for some particular reason I'm not looking forward to the celebration haha, think I'm totally rubbish at organising any kind of parties. But who knows, guess I'll just see what happens.
