Alternative Fun

Two weeks into my seven week practice period and I'm starting to get a hang of this teaching thing. It's mostly due to my own efforts, the literature we're given is a colorful mix of philosophy and bureaucracy and doesn't do you a whole lot of good when you're planning classes. I suppose it helps if you have an interest in the subject you're teaching, and when it comes to psychology I rather enjoy educating the young generation about the bugs and quirks of our brain. And so I wonder, is it a good thing or a bad thing that I'm already pushing the limits of the curriculum? Not that I worry much about it, the official document seems to have a problem agreeing with itself anyway.

In other news, it seems someone in Oslo enjoyed reading my job application and wanted to take a closer look at the source. I'm not sure what to think of it myself, yet I suppose a day trip to Oslo would be good for the soul either way. It's always interesting to get to see a company from the inside, and there are no better ways to do so then through a job interview. In my experience you can tell more about someone based on the question he asks then the answers you get, and I'm very curious as to what kind of person they are looking for.

Also, I'm giving it ten to one odds on them reading this.
