One assignment down.

Done.

Finished.

Never to be seen again!

WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!

Critical Analysis of an ESL Textbook... bloody hard. Final word count came in at 3700 and roughly 9 pages long (I worked with a partner on it).

One more assignment to go. This one I'm actually enjoying. Working with a partner again, only this time we're making a short chapter from scratch of an ESL Textbook.





This has taken me ages(that one page took me about 6 hours to do!), but I got it finished at 2am last night. Now I just have to type up a Teacher's Book and it's all good!

I've decided that I need to get Photoshop at some point in the very near future. I think I can get the student discount for it. I love the GIMP, really, I do, I learnt how to make icons on it for cryin' out loud!... it's just.... I can't do half the stuff I really want to with it.


Amusing classroom story for you. Lecturer last night wanted to write something up on the white board, so grabs the marker and starts drawing.... the pen sounded kinda weird but he just kept going....

....unfortunately, the wall also happens to be white, the same shade in fact. Guess what he'd gone and done? Yup, you guessed it, he'd written on the wall instead of the whiteboard.

I can't believe that we've only got one more week of classes and we're into exam prep and exams! Where'd the time go?!

*****************EDIT******************************

DAMMIT ALL TO HELL!!!!!!! I just got an email from my partner with some stuff to look over and she's gone and added a heap of stuff at the end. I am NOT HAPPY right now. Not happy at all. Thank you, very much Olivia for shooting down my hopes of getting to bed at a decent freakin' time. 4am on Monday night, 2am last night, and now it looks like it's going to be another late night tonight.

I sympathize with your lecturer. I once wrote on our whiteboard with a permanent marker because it looked exactly like the whiteboard marker. ^__^

Also, critical analysis sounds... complicated and boring. *pets you* I don't envy you. No fun , no fun!

Oh, I've done that one too! Thankfully it seems to come off it you scribble over it in whiteboard marker, leave it for a few minutes and then erase.

Critical Analysis is complicated and very boring. I'm really regretting saying that I'd do 5% marks for attendance. I really don't want to be in there some days.

Also, in good news, corrections weren't as complicated or long as I was expecting. I'd thankfully saved it as many, many layers, so all I had to do was some tweaking. I shall be going to bed within the next hour or two ^__^

Thank god for layers. It looked really good too, the one you posted. ^^ My grade 6's would be able to do your activities - very clear instructions. :D

Yup, thank god for layers! I think I would've chucked a shit-fit if I hadn't saved the layers.

You think so? that page took me roughly 6 hours to do.... just think, there's three more after that one! Good to know that it'd actually work in a classroom setting. That's the one thing I was worried about!
