mrs wong. wherefore art thou my geog paper? printing day is next monday and you havent returned me my second draft!! i need to attach the cover page!!

im sure not looking forward to being stuck with caleb chua in the small printing room for two whole days just printing our mid year exams. sheesh. i hope irene will be in there with us. then i'll at least be able to catch up with her and ask her about molly. yeah. yeeucks. dont really know why, but i just feel uncomfortable around caleb. maybe because of his size? oops. kailyn dont laugh. i know you hate the 'carebear'. grin.

was stuck in school all the way until 6 today. luckily i finished marked E2's functional, and geog test paper. mantle is spelt as 'mantel'. another name for the crust is 'earth's plates'. wonder if they had been listening in class. of course that was the minority la. hee. had napfa testing today for the sec 4s. for once i was testing, the tester. not the testee. haha. was doing sit and reach with yuan shin, she took the girls i took the guys. when 4A2 came over, they were like 'hi ms teo!' all because of one sentence i said when i reliefed them on tuesday when ms teo, the EL HOD, wasnt here. i merely said 'ms teo is not here today, but ms teo here.' i was merely introducing myself and the class girls giggled. or rather, a bunch of girls giggling wasnt that mild a term. and when the 4T1 boys came over, guo long was like 'cher, when are you going to relief us again ah?' i dint know they like me reliefing their class when i merely took them for 2 relief periods. first time guolong and sean were bugging me about how much would they need to pay to go france learn hairstyling. then they asked about the 'cold cold' countries. until one girl shouted, 'oei stop buayaing the cher la..' then i was like. er. okay. dot. second time i went in, sean was like 'cher you again ah? fun leh!' and they came over to talk again. luke was asking about his 2E1 girls, as usual. but he wasnt in school today. i can see luke wants to do well, and try to make it far in his studies, cos he was telling me all about poly life. but i really dont know if he can truly make it that far. what i told him then was that, work hard in ITE, and then make it into poly. and stay clear of bad influences. and he mildly replied. God will be there to guide him. i hope, he will make his dream come true. plus trying to jio celeste from 2E1. haha. was threatening him that day, not to let me catch him with celeste or pearl somewhere at westmall, lot one, jec, jurong point or orchard. then he blushed ten times redder. walau damn funny sia. grin.

midyear is coming and i seem to be more concerned with my EL classes than my geog classes. is that something good or bad? hm. busy typing out the compre test 6 for them next week. sending it for printing tmr. and giving it out next tuesday. yawn. but life now seems to be so much under control. at least i know what i'll be doing next week. and things are more or less planned and ready to be used. i just need to churn out worksheets. and more notes to guide them for their midyears.

teaching seems to be so part of my life now. am i really cut out for teaching?
i really dont know. so far i seem to be able to handle the tough classes. so far. classes like 2T1, 4T1, 2A1, 3T2. and supposedly 3T2 is the worst. but then again i have this 'brother' zixiang who will help me control his class. and he's also the idiot whose first sms to me went 'me vincent here. what's your name?' and i replied 'who the hell are you and how did you get my number?' and he cheekily replied 'me yong sheng's brother.' and i was like 'chey you zixiang ah?' and when he met me in school he was like 'my el name is vincent. call me vincent.' and i told him, 'you'll always be zixiang to me.' really ah, that fella. hee.

sometimes i love the kids, sometimes i hate them.
but so far, i think i love them more than i hate them.
no reason to hate them so far la.
