While I was taking the CELTA my daughter went in for minor surgery - she was having her tonsils and adenoids taken out. That went well and she beat me home that day. However, the next week was a string of late night visits to emergency until, finally, she wound up back in the Alberta Children's Hospital with IVs and tubes.
Needless to say it made the coursework a little less of a priority and created a few long nights. I am 6'3" and am somewhat 'big-boned' so the sleep that I got in the window-sill in her room was not the REM-producing ideal I would normally shoot for while taking classes being
'offered under the auspices' of the University of Cambridge. Long story less long - she is fine except for a voice that I still don't instantly recognize and I think I will still get my Pass Plus credential from the course (equivalent to honours or distinction).
It made me spend a lot of my spare time at class thinking about how much I love my kids. They really are great.
