okay I can't believe I have been teaching for 7 weeks alr!!! and in 3 weeks time I am going to be unemployed! sighs damn sad. Teaching has been interesting so far and at least it keeps me occupied and I can earn some money haha my first job of my life so yes I think i can say I relatively enjoy myself.

Im so glad to have the most amazing colleagues whom I can slack with during our breaks, talk about our fellow colleagues with, talk about our own lives, talk about our students and go out eat, shop, talk cock. I have two fantastic mentor- one of whom is so motherly and v understanding and the other ever so energetic and fun to be with. I wouldn't say I have amazing kids, i also face the problem of rude kids who cannot be bothered to even pretend that they are paying attention, kids who look at me with dazed eyes telling me "huh. I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about". But I am so thankful to teach sec 3, people who have some interest to learn, people who don't go crazy over new young "handsome" male relief teachers and people whom I hope I can inspire to think beyond textbook stuff.

But srsly, teachers do so many saikang omggg. I hate staff meeting and invigilating the most. they are so mind blowingly boring and slow!! sitting alone without the interns during staff meeting is so painful cause I don't have Jasmine to talk cock with! ): and invigilating is so sleep inducing but of course we can't sleep since we're supposed to be doing active invigilation- what is that even supposed to mean??

I don't think I am being as good a teacher as I would like myself to be though. While I deliver good lessons and tell those kids what they have to know to score and to do their CAs (which will be so horrible if they didn't studyyyy), I think I am too exam focused as a teacher! argh and I told myself I would never sink into the whole MOEZZZ mindset of crafting my lessons entirely for exam's sake. but it is so difficult when you have a syllabus to rush and a timeline to follow. ohwellzzzz.

kkk im going back to the zzz monster i loooove sleeping :D
