Yesterday my 3 week job ended. Which is sad, because I really liked working with the children and the people.

Which is good. So I am going ahead and becoming a teacher, either for primary school or for highschool as a chemistry/biology/tech teacher. I am leaning towards primary school at the moment. Right now I'm thinking of doing the teacher course and then a masters in teaching afterwards.

It's a huge change in plans but the plans are as solid if not more solid than they used to be.

That's great to hear, are you starting teacher training this September then? If so, were in the same boat -- though I'm undecided about getting the masters but get 20 credits towards it!

No, I have 2 years of school before that left. I just love planning things out way, way in advance.

But as long as I get my Ib diploma I have a spot at the university I want barring any unforseen large influx of people wanting to do that course.

I find out my GCSE exam result in 5 days, had to go retake it a good 9 years later and its a requirement for teacher training.

It should be okay, I picked the easiest equivalent exam and breezed through it. Enjoyed it even as it had #todayswritingprompt style questions.

You and a country full of 16 year olds all waiting eagerly.

My teachers have told me that they think me getting a good grade on the exam is very probable so I really try not to worry about it. So even IF there is a large influx I should be fine.

What kind of teaching do you want to do?

Computer science in secondary (high) schools, I've talked about it before on Hubski and will probably be starting a blog to document what happens and will be sharing it here when I do!

That sounds really interesting. I really want to read about it.
