Graduation
Mar
28
At the end of last year I finished studying my Master of Education degree. On Saturday I attended my graduation ceremony in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (there was also a ceremony in Australia, where my university is located, but I thought it would be fun to attend the one in KL).
There were about 250 graduates at the ceremony, & I think about 99% were Malaysian. I didn`t realise my university had so many Malaysian students! I talked to some of them & I was impressed by their high level of English. English is used much more in Malaysia than Japan. For example, on the radio I heard two DJs speaking English only, even though they were Malaysian.
Doing my degree was a good experience, & I`m sure it has made me a better teacher, but I`m glad I`ve finished it. It ate up a lot of my free time & was quite stressful.
