Hi, congrats on the new job.
The disadvantages of being a teacher are the more expensive holidays. Just think in 10 years time you can take Long Service Leave. LOL
Glad you had such a great time. I've read most of your JBR's. Did you get to visit a school? If not, this is a grteat experience (especially from a teachers view point). It's a great eye opener for kids also.
I did my teaching degree as a mature age student (at 30 with 2 little kids). I love teaching, it's so rewarding, but you have your days like any job. Did you get targeted? I did, so was lucky to walk straight into a job. Good luck.
P.S if you want some cheap teaching resources look on Ebay. I have bought and sold stuff there. It can save you heaps (but watch the postage).
