Self presentation

Hi everyone,

my name is Veronica, I come from Italy originally, but I have been living in Manchester since last year. I applied to this course because I was keen to learn new skills which could help me in being a more creative teacher and, why not, a more creative person... and as the course proceeds I know I'm in the right place.
I'm not sure if I should add details about me in general, but it really seems a bit difficult to condense a life in few fines ...we could do better this in front of a beer in a pub, or in further posts with distant students.
So, from where to begin to present myself in this very moment, and what I really like to do?
First of all, I'm happy to be back to school again! I have finished my university studies many years ago, and I thought that, except for preparing my classes, the learning period was already gone. I saw my job as a long flat path of days repeating the same pattern, lighted up mostly by the human relationship with students. Quite boring, isn't it? My personal development was left away, and my idea of reading consisted just in novels.
But now I'm discovering the pleasure of reading not just for the sake of it, reflecting, studying, being challenged, and last but not least learning with and from the others. I wouldn't be so glad if it had been just a matter of reading stuff by my own...I like this kind of learning because of its communicative feature and because we are so many and so different.
Talking more specifically about activities I like more, I can say that I prefer theoretical tasks rather than practical ones. What I mean is that I really enjoy edit texts or choosing images and contents to be put in a project, software or whatelse. So far, the tasks I enjoyed more have been designing contents for presentations and discussing with all of you, besides to reading, analysing texts and writing. I know, I have mentioned this already, but it is true...
Programming or alike don't appeal me that much...but I'm becoming more open to the new, thus I would conclude saying "never say never".
That's it for the moment.
Looking forward to reading your posts,

Veronica.
