Confessions of a Second Life Addict

Well I haven't posted for ages - it's due to me being addicted to SL (just like I used to be to LJ). Anyway I will post to LJ about my SL adventures from time to time. My SL aler ego is William Interflug who is a feminised male avie (nice SL word for avatar). There are loads of US Americans in-world (SL jargon again) so my English has become ( Read more... )

Hello. I see that you went to my school (That would be Chalvedon) and I was just curious to learn what you thought of it, and if you have seen the developments recently?

Chalvedon goodarcher March 7 2007, 16:54:08 UTC

I was actually a teacher at Chalvedon 1n 1986 (only for two terms). In those days it was a pretty tough place to teach for a new teacher, but there were quite a few nice pupils and colleagues. I haven't been back there since I'm afraid as I'm now based in Germany.

Hm, had I actually done the mathematics related to your school years displayed in your profile. I would've known that no one enrolls in a secondary school at almost 30 years old. Hmm.

(It still is a tough place for a new teacher, I'm afraid.)

*Grins - I would have been pretty old then. When I was a teacher at Chalvedon no one had heard about the internet let alone Live Journal. I used to teach German in a grotty prefab classroom on the sports field at the side of the building. in the morning it was freezing and by the afternoon it was too hot. Afer Chalvedon I went on to teach in Braintree (as you will have seen). After that I gave up teaching German to the English and tried it the other way round in Germany - I haven't looked back since.

I wonder if any of the teachers from my days are still there. Actually I was ONLY 26 when I taught there so they might well be.

One more name! funkywombat March 10 2007, 15:59:03 UTC

Mr. Campus, or Campos. Science teacher. Good humoured, but very strict.

Greetings from Rome! goodarcher March 11 2007, 10:55:49 UTC

Hi I've just started my European tour (now in Rome) so I'll be checking LJ every couple of days. I do remember Mr Campos. It's weird to think the kids I taughr (or tried to) back in 1986 are now in their mid to late thirties :) I'm still waiting for my first students born 1990 or later.

Talk soon :)

Oooh, that is good. Seeing St. Peter's square, I imagine? That and the Colosseum. Those seem to be the main attractions. Where else are you going? I've travelled in Spain & France, and some of Germany. So I might know some places that you are going to. Unless you are travelling eastward. Which is where I want to go. East, east and more east. Especially Asia: India, China etc.

I got as far as Florence - had an interesting week giving workshops for young post-doctoral researchers. Now I'm back in a very chilly England with a mega slow internet connection.

I love Italy but my first love is Northern Europe, especially the Netherlands - the Dutch are like relaxed Germans :)
