am tired. have shitty cramps. this entry is going to be disjointed and erratic.

morning traffic really sucks. i was about to have a breakdown in the car this morning. was like freaking late and practically EVERY traffic light we ran into turned red just as we reached it. and THEN, my mum got freaking lost in sengkang. and getting lost in sengkang is ten times more frustrating than getting lost anywhere else because there are IDENTICAL hdb flats and mrt/lrt lines ALL OVER THE DAMN ESTATE. ROAR.

and then, today i was supposed to cover for, OF ALL PEOPLE, a PE teacher. and i dont know if i've mentioned this before, tho i'm sure i have, but i really CANNOT teach PE. but noooooo. even though i was clearly wearing heels and long pants, they still gave me a pe teacher's timetable. (ok i understand how they can't accomodate to me and all but i'm hormonally imbalanced and really tired now so i'm going to complain anyway.) so my first four periods were PE. first period, my old form class. was chaotic, as it always is with them. REALLY had no clue what to do so i let them play catching in the open field. halfway through tho, i was called up to take class photo with my coform class. so i had to like herd them up with me to the hall where they thought that THEY were going to take the photo. so there was a point of mad frenzy when they all wanted to go toilet to freshen up and the such until i had to scream at them that it was ME, not them, taking the damn photo. it was quite funny actually. haha.

phototaking was quite fun i guess. thankfully i was having an ok hair day :D i hope the photo turns out nice. hehe. then i headed to the staffroom and was SUPERLY relieved to find out that the p6s were having their CA1 so NO PE FOR THEM :D hehe. instead invigilated and collected tests papers. invigilating is majorly boring tho. i was literally bored to tears (from yawning).

for the p5 class, i did a pretty amazing job if i do say so myself. haha. i conducted shuttle run and we actually had a pretty PE looking like lesson. and i was quite proud of myself that the kids looked like they were having fun as well as getting a good exercise UNTIL one of them decided to tell me that they were taking photo in the next period and were not supposed to sweat so much. like AFTER the whole PE period. see, even when i think i'm doing something right, i'm actually really just screwing up as usual. oh well, for telling me AFTER everything, i just laughed into his face. hahah out of utter helplessness really.

the next PE period was a complete disaster tho. it seemed as if everyone was simultaneously having PE at the same time. so everywhere we went we got chased out. so finally, i brought my posse of p4s to this little walkway and ordered them to 'play whatever you want!' while i sat at watched them, before finally giving them an early recess.

so in just the first 2hours of the day, i was completely TIRED and HOT and SWEATY and FRAZZLED. this was followed by three free periods with absolutely NOTHING to do. i was so bored i started walking around the school, because i dont like staying in the staffroom with nothing to do.

and my lovely day was complete with the last three periods spent with the smallest but most annoying p2 class i have come across. they are like that arcade game. the one where little weasels or moles or whatever pop up from these holes and you have to use the hammer thingie to hit them. except i didnt have a hammer. but seriously, it's like, they just can't stay in their seats. little imps from VARIOUS corners of the classroom kept popping up of their seats and at one point of time i was just going around in circles telling the same people repeatedly to SIT DOWN!! words cannot express how irritating it was. not to mention this boy who threw a ball of plasticine up to the ceiling and told me it was a beetle. i really didnt know whether to laugh or cry man.

and i'm really sick of giving tuition. every tuesday and thursday i really dread the evenings. my kid is sooo ironically hard to deal with. cos he's really quite bright so he thinks he doesnt need any help. so whenever i try to help him he gets upset and it's VERY frustrating when that's precisely my job. and like he's so erratic. one day he's so tired and falling asleep on me. another he's so hyper he refuses to even sit down. and i dont know. i just really don't like him very much. which is weird. because i usually really like kids. haha.

ARGH this is disgustingly long. and i'm in pain. bah.
