so the thing is, this whole teaching gig is really growing on me quite strong. if ever medicine doesn't work out, i would not hesitate to take up a teaching post somewhere. i've wondered if perhaps a teaching environment in your alma mater makes the job somewhat more sheltered - in that your colleagues and students recognize you and are able to bond/interact on a more personal level. but so far, the job's been mother stressful (marking/admin) and i DO complain about it... BUT (there's always a bigger one), it's incredibly fulfilling. and i can't think of a more constructive or better way to pass my pre-uni time right now
and the best part is alena agrees with me on this, it appears :) go us! haha.
