Finally, I've worked it out how to overcome a major issue I had been stuck on. I didn't know how honest to be. I was really unhappy with British Council and some of my co-workers, and I knew it was unprofessional to write about it, but I felt like I couldn't skip that part. I have decided I will have two blogs, one for telling friends and family what I am up to in general, and another that is purely professional!
I think this will solve the problems I have been having. If only I had researched and read other people's material before setting out! It seems so painfully obvious to look at what is out there before you set to work. I suppose common sense is really badly named...
