teaching on halloween

Today was my first time to do some teaching at Middlesex. I took over one of the seminars from Billy and it was a small bunch of first year students, about 16 or 17. I enjoyed it a lot. The topic was very interesting, the kind of thing students would want to talk about and discuss, especially that it had interesting examples of ads and lyrics and stuff. But most of all, I enjoyed getting back to teaching. It has been a year since I last dealt with students, since last December when I finished up the first semester and my MA thesis and left soon afterwards. It felt great actually, I never thought I would miss teaching that much. And maybe because the comeback itself was exciting, you know, teaching something closer to linguistics than I ever did before and of course the excitement of teaching students from different cultural backgrounds and in a different country.

So, who said teaching, I mean, halloween is scary? hohahahaha...
