a letter from Jo

This is a letter from the person who has made great impact in my life. It's meant to be kept as a reminder for me ALWAYS in this final year.

Date: Mon, 08 Jan 2007 10:06:59 +1000
To: ed47cohort 1@qut.edu.au
From: jo carr
Subject: hello and welcome back!


Welcome back to 4th year! - am thinking of you all, imagining you settling in, sorting yourselves out, getting used to shared accommodation again, reconnecting with the rest of the cohort - goodness, what tales to tell and news to swap! Will be fascinating for you all. All my very, very best for this final year now beginning. Some great challenges - will be looking forward to hearing how it all goes. Hope what we did together over the two years will have helped you to do really well. I have great confidence in you all.


Hope you all had a wonderful break. Heard from quite a few of you - sounding so happy and relaxed - this is good. I am about to write your end of year reports - with apologies for being so late - but there was really nothing I could do about it before now. They'll be with IPBA as soon as I can finish them. It will feel rather final then, I guess: you really have gone! Miss you all. Loved working with you and knowing you - and look forward to seeing you when I come to KL - though we usually meet at the times when your on holiday, so that may not work out.

OK - all for now. Bon courage for your settling back into IPBA mode... work hard, take it easy, breathe deeply at regular intervals! Send me news from time to time, and let me know if I can help with anything. Will have Cohort 3 arriving next month, and am to be teaching Cohort 2 as well as the new one - so will be pretty Malaysian-busy, which I'm happy about. I'm also now the TESOL Coordinator, since my friend Jane has retired, so am going to have my hands full. I too will remember to breather deeply..

Take care all of you,

Jo.
