Well, I am happy to report that after a two year long
search, I have finally found, applied, been accepted, and started a Masters
programme that suits my interests, desires and abilities. I must admit that,
ironically, after being literally amped to life threatening levels of
excitement, I have now lapsed in my studies during the induction week, which is
quite worrying considering the fact that I am paying hard earned money for a
well deserved education and I have gladly accepted a scholarship from the school
with the unspoken understanding that I should most likely be expected to
perform above caliber. With all these thoughts floating round in my head I’ve
decided to sally forth by launching a full on ambush on my procrastination and
promising to henceforth do things either on time or well before the actual due
date. Hence my reason for sitting here on my comfy chase, lounging and typing
what is probably to be perceived as a rather supercilious blog posting!
Now, on a more serious note, I must within the next day or
so organize a study schedule that is suitable to my working hours and exercise
regime. I suppose two to three hours of daily quiet study accompanied by
occasional sips of cappuccino should be sufficient for the time being. I am
thrilled that my tutors have envisioned the use of blogging as a way to build
up writing endurance and I am appreciative of the opportunity to sharpen my
rusty reflection, analytical and general writing skills as I feel I have lapsed
in this area since graduation from university in 2006.
Moreover, I believe that implementing the knowledge gained
from each reading, discussion forums and challenges to my interpretations of
all module related content will pose a nearly insurmountable challenge in the
secondary English as a Second Language classes I teach here in Abu Dhabi,
United Arab Emirates. I am certainly looking forward to finding ways to
implement whatever useful tidbits I gain from this module into my lesson
planning and teaching!
