Finally back. It was a long tiring week, especially with the CCA EXCO election. I was quite impressed with the kiddos' speeches. It's like, hmm, they can speak well at such a young age. :) Of course, the sad thing is, I'm still pretty much distant from the students. And I really wonder how I can bridge the gap. Or rather, whether I should bridge the gap, since I probably will be out of that CCA early next year. Well well, we'll see how.

Of course, the best thing which happened today is that, I can continue taking 308 for math this year. Moreover, I gonna get help for some remedials. And better still, I can co-teach my problematic class with another teacher. Triple good news. :) I think I looked super burnt out this morning, because I have a teacher coming to me to tell me to set aside at least two days amd go home early to rest. Sigh. I have been staying past 6pm for every single day this week. Ironically, I have been going to class unprepared these few days. Surprisingly, I managed to come out with intelligent remarks and questions on the spot.

There are times when I feel very depressed, because I am busy, and the people around me are all busy. There is not much point mentioning certain things to the management, because they will think their girls are angels and they are not behaving well in my class because I have not set good routines. That's why most of the time, I'll prefer to pack lunch come to eat, so that I can eat in peace and not be blamed for my own suffering. Sometimes I think, maybe this is a wrong choice afterall, and I could have an easier life elsewhere. Well well, let's see what happens next year.

Sat in for two project interviews. One group had no rehearsal for their presentation. My gosh. I must say, both teams weren't impressive. Be it the presentation or their report. No depth in mathematical content. Hope to see better teams to send for competition. :) Wah, imagine if I have project groups next year. I think I'll die. Argh.

Everyday is about work work and more work. I have no time for myself. :(

Time to sleep. I'm super sleep deprived and my hearing is getting worse. Sigh. Probably I'll change job at the end of four years. Lots of stuff to mark for the weekend.

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.
