EnglishTeacherBon?

My classes began yesterday and I was surprised to find out that the class is full of many funpeople and great teachers. I also found out that I will be the first person in my section to lead a 35 minute English lesson to learners who are in a pre-intermediate course. I'm sitting in the school's computer room writing this instead of looking over my lesson plan because, quite frankly, I'm kindof freaked out by this notion of running a class -- even if it only contains 4 students -- while myteacher and 4 other colleagues watch and critque me. Hopefully they'll be lenient on me since I'm the first to go. Also, while trying to rally myself for the lesson, I've convinced myself that I was chosen to be the first in my section because I demonstrated, in my interview, exceptionable ability to teach... It's very doubtful but I'd like to think that is true.
