I am someone who never thought I would be blogging, because 1) I thought bloggers are the type of people who think they are too cool for school, and 2) I thought 'Who reads blogs anyway?'
In the beginning of the year I did not know what I wanted to do with my life. I was on the waiting list of the only honours programme I applied for (Honours in Financial Analysis) and applied to no other universities and even no jobs, because I genuinely thought I would get in. My friend then told me about the PGCE programme and I thought I might as well give it a try since I have no other option and I genuinely did not want to sit at home with an Investments degree.
Coming into the programme, I was annoyed at everything we had to do. We had an orientation session on the first day of class and the lecturer who would be giving us Digital Pedagogy told us we had to start a twitter account and create a blog. I generally don't swear, but I actually said the F-word in my head that day. This is because not only did I not want to be there, but I have no social network accounts - no facebook, no twitter and no instagram.
It has been two weeks now, and I actually am starting to enjoy the programme. I still do not know if I want to be a teacher or not? I have also made wonderful friends in my class who, I feel, keep me sane. I am new to the whole blogging and twitter world, so I might really suck. All I can say for now is I might not be where I want to be, but I think I am where I have to be. Very cliché, I know, but I might as well end my first blog post with a cool quote.
P.S I actually do talk really fast
