Grin. Yeah. I remember my class. My TP group was awesome. The others were... less so. Obviously it was all random, but each group had very distinctive personalities to them. (And the instructors as much as told us we were struggling far far less with it.)
My TP group all thought the whole thing and the ridiculous amount of work they wanted you to do and how stressed out everyone else seemed was a grand joke. We'd spend a bit of time in the evenings on stuff, and then run around Cairo or stay up late nights writing truly classic satires paradying the class. (Sadly, only a couple other people, and the instructors, caught all the stuff we were making fun of. I think that says a lot for the level of our classmates as well.)
I'm glad I have the pretty piece of paper. It's helped in the job market. Beyond that, it was barely worth the stockpile of .3 mm lead I brought with me.

Just keep in mind that the real world isn't half as obnoxious as the CELTA. Lesson plans don't take hours in the real world, I promise!
