Back to School: Teachers

Image
I thought I’d write this in spirit of going back to school...although most are probably already back in school. I’ve been in school for a few years and would say I have a fair few experiences and thus a few rants that I could go on. So as not to write an entire book about all of it I shall stick to teachers in this particular post. This rant was a bit longer than anticipated...because of that I’ve decided to make this a three parter: the good, the bad and the ugly; starting with the ugly. I need to start this off by saying that my mother tongue is English and that this nation’s language is German and that my spelling is not the best in any language. I think we’ve all had at least one teacher that manages to ruin an entire subject for us, either through their incapability of teaching or because they’re just not a very nice person. Now this particular teacher was my French and German teacher in secondary school. She was the mother of a friend of my brothers which (sadly) meant

About this Blog

Hellu again.   I have the feeling I wasn’t very clear or helpful in my first post as to what this blog is about. So let’s give this another go. This is going to be a space for me to be creative. A few years ago I discovered my joy of writing but didn’t really have an outlet for it. Creativity has definitely been lacking in my life the past few years and it’s something I want to change.

...I feel like that's an intro from a youtuber; but I can't remember who... Anyhow, hello there! Thank you for visiting my blog. I've been meaning to start another blog for a while now. Admittedly I wasn't aware that this would be my third blog...I thought it was only my second. Also I was planning on buying a domain for this blog but there are a few reasons I decided against that. But that's probably not all that interesting for you. So welcome to my (non-) domain (...did you get it...because I don’t have a domain...oh well, never mind). So. I figured I'd say a little about myself and what I want this blog to be about in this first post. As the title already says it is going to be somewhat random. However, it'll be mostly me writing about my life and experiences in the hope that someone will find it interesting or helpful and well also for me because I enjoy writing. I finished the British equivalent of college and the US
