Teaching and leaving

Teaching is something I have always wanted to try. On the Wednesday before the Easter weekend I had one hour at the middle school here in Åsele [Aaw-seh-leh], my hometown. And today it was my first full day.

Here in Sweden you do not need to be qualified to teach, which means that anyone who has not committed any crime can do it. At least technically.

They were a wild bunch of kids as it was the first day back from their Easter break. I think I managed all right though and after five hours we had managed to do PE, Maths, English and have lunch.

Tomorrow I am off for Stockholm and I will be in Newcastle on Wednesday night. On Wednesday morning I have a job interview for a Christian daily newspaper, Dagen. I have also dropped a letter to the council's tourism agency in Åsele. So now it is up to God to put me where he likes. As long as I earn loads of money ...
