I'm still alive!

I just wanted to write a quick update to let you know that I am, in fact, not dead.

I haven't shown much sign of life recently, but that's due to the fact that the intensive courses have started at work. The basic idea is that the students come for one and a half hours a day (from Monday to Friday) to improve their English or prepare for the official Cambridge exams which take place at the end of this month. Obviously, daily lessons allow students to improve a lot faster than at the normal pace of two classes a week, but they also require a lot of effort, hence the name "intensive". Not only are they intensive for the students, but also for the teachers.

My time is taken up with preparing and correcting and planning and then doing it all again, so I have less time to dedicate to my blog. What's more is that I have cancelled my internet connection at home in preparation for The Return, so it's difficult for me to blog at the weekends too.

However, I will be flying home in 3 weeks today and I am unbelievably excited about it. So, I may be a little quiet on the blog front from now until then, but as soon as I am back in the UK, I will write continually. Prepare yourselves to be inundated!

P.S. - Still no word from the BBC. I'm taking it as a no.
