I give lectures on oral presentations and on academic writing (teachers within different fields contact us and ask us to come and give these lectures to their students), and sometimes I also lecture to teachers about how to teach academic writing and give good feedback. But what I mostly do is meet with students, individually, and discuss their writing assignments. Oh, and I also give a short oral proficiency course for international students - again, no academic credits.

That's pretty much what I thought. Thanks for explaining (again)!
Which of those things do you enjoy the most?

Yes and no. Yes, I've met her before (she's been my contact at "Unga Vuxna" this whole time, she's the one who referred me to my previous therapist etc) and no, I haven't met her for therapy yet (she's pretty nice though). We're meeting up on Friday morning. However, I'm not sure you can call this therapy. We're apparently only going to meet up sporadically, with the goal to teach me how to deal with stress, until my assessment is done. Then we'll see what happens. I think they reckon they will then be able to tell more specifically what kind of help I really need. Do you know what I mean?

When and where? I'm afraid I don't finish until 5pm tomorrow.
