today was one of those days that just start horribly. and you know for the rest of the day, everything you do would go wrong. however, today was also a pretty good day. huh. how odd.
long post ahead!
anyway, it starts with news that i would be taking a p2 class for the next two days. which is fine. except the timetable also includes two classes of PE (the freaking bane of my schooling and teaching life). this is followed by a very confusing and chaotic assembly for me which i can't be bothered to recount. all i can say is this school has a seriously high frequency rate of 'visitors to the school'. which, to me, is a very stressful thing. i mean the visitors with the p and vp are constantly walking around the school, making me very nervous.
thankfully my first period of PE was saved by another PE teacher who very kindly (although i dont think i really gave him a choice haha) let my class join his.
the better half of the day was spent;
-taking care of a poor p1 kiddo who had a tummyache. his large and adorable eyes kept filling up with tears and i felt so horrible for him :(
-trying to explain to another p1 kid, how after buying something, his money would naturally diminish 0.0
-teaching another yet another p1 kid how to draw himself. i'm quite pleased he liked my drawing! haha
-repeatedly introducing this new student to his class. omg i have officially become a Naggy Adult.
-teaching past tense and constructing sentences with the p2 class. yawn.
things got better from assembly tho! for one, because i was sitting with the p2s, i got to see my JJ! haha his cheeky smile is just adorable beyond words. :D then the p2 teachers put up a really hilarious skit. haha laughing at them made me feel much much better xD
after assembly was my first proper art class with my p1s. and i am SO PLEASED to say that it was pretty successful! :D :D i managed to do handpainting with 30 kids and only two palettes of paint and about 10 paintbrushes (provided by yours truly), in 30minutes! and then cleaned up the kids, the paintbrushes, the palettes and the class in 15minutes. looking at the colourful finished work and the relatively clean kids, i felt like Super Art Teacher for a moment. HA HA. :D
remedial after school. urgh i was just about falling asleep. but thankfully my coteacher came back in time to teach instead of me. towards the end, the kids were getting all crazy and it was pretty funny. everything was just so funny to them. i can't remember what was going on, but everything seemed pretty funny to me too. i think the heat and the long day just got to everyone. even my coteacher was laughing. so basically we were all just laughing and laughing like siaos. 0.0
after work, i was too tired to go home! that was the saddest thing ever. i just sat at my table until i got so bored i dragged my sorry ass home. AND THEN, i missed my bus stop! i was fully conscious when it happened. i thought i was on the bus i usually took when i was in secondary school! so yes, on the day when i was so damn tired, i just had to miss my dumb bus stop.
there was a random thing i wanted to say but i forgot what it was! argh. annoying.
[edit] ok got it. i wanted to say that i want to get minty shampoo! it's the most refreshing thing ever! makes your scalp TINGLE happily :D oh and peanut butter and banana sandwiches rock my mornings :D
