Lost my voice. I'm going to have a super difficult time in 3/3 tomorrow. Sigh. I feel that I can't really control that class, and my rapport with the students isn't that good. Well well, headache. I wonder if they'll appreciate the very fact that I'm struggling to stand in front of the class, when i should be at home resting my throat. 3 consecutive physics periods. That's going to be a nightmare. Sigh. If I'm a student, I think 3 consecutive periods of physics is going to take my life away.

Anyway, I think I'm dying from the bad cough. My voice is really really cannot make it. Sigh. I miss the days when I was a student. I could yawn and make noise. I can even switch off and ignore the teacher if I want to. Now is retribution time. It is sometimes so freaking hard to engage the girls. Well well, maybe my job will be much easier if I'm so handsome and young male teacher. Haha. But anyway, I think teaching is tough. Tomorrow, I gonna stay back after school so that my kiddo can sit for a 2hr test. Friday, I gonna stay back for remedial. Saturday, I gonna go back for remedial and SMO. I have no life.

The only comforting thing is, I find that I'm getting slightly closer to my math class. As in, I feel that they are more willing to ask questions and approach me now. Haha. I think I smiled damn sweetly at one particular girl the very first time she asked a question in class. She used to keep quiet during lesson. And now, she asked me at least one question each day, which I think is a good sign. Seriously, I'm quite hopeful that the whole class will pass the next math quiz. :)

Time to rest. Sigh. I hope I'll get well soon.

A beginning teacher. Sleep and rest deprived. Likes math and enjoys teaching it. Misses the days in NUS (2002-2007) where she majored in Applied Mathematics. The math was much more fun at that time. Has lots of idols in the department.
