Well the CELTA course is now finished and everyone passed. We don't get out grades until close to the end of the month apparently but that doesn't matter as it's the pass that counts. Everyone has different plans and it looks like I'm the only one heading for Thailand at the ...

Happy days :-) No more college until next week and then only two more sessions: Monday night when Sue, Joss and Nat teach, and Friday which is the last day of the course - then it's end of course celebrations!!!!
