Well, I couldnt really say anything positive on the first day of school. But the second day of school. Yeah. I am so much happier! I have this notion that I know I will do well this time round. Wished I had this kind of power and energy during my 10-week practicum. Maybe, the comments that I got wont be as disappointing and humiliating den...
Sigh.
The school staff room is really warm. It's cooler outside and in the classrooms.
Oya, did I mention that the classrooms are really big?
Like.. really wide! Entire class of about 37-39 jus takes up about 50-60 percent of the classroom. There's lots of space behind. LOTS OF SPACE! That's so cool.
Although it's been only one year since I last taught in a school. But there's so much going on that has changed. Especially with the H1N1 precautions going on... Whew. Tiring.. for the staffs that is...
First day. Hectic la. I followed the students and alight at the bus stop that is at the back of the school. The entire school was dark cos there was no light at all. So, I got kinda "blind" temporary. Gosh. The route to the meeting room seems really long and distant sia. And I met the P along the way too. Den the freaky thing happened. As I went for my first relief lesson one hour later, I met P again! And the topic is still on if I know where I'm going sia. Den... 2 hours later, I see the P in the GO. AGAIN! Freaky right? Hahaha. Anyways, back to the bus stop story. So today (the second day of school) I got the hang of getting around. So, even though the lights are not on and I am still blind, at least I got the way to the staff room. Yeah! I'm not lost anymore. Hahahaha. Hope this continues!!!
Oya.. I'm still getting to know the surroundings of the school. I got kinda lost on the first day. Ok .. I lied. I got lost on the first day. And I missed out so many short-cut stops. No wonder all the students stare at me like i'm some kind of kuku teacher. Which I am la. I mean. There's a teacher who walks out of the staff room later den me. In the end.. He reached the class next to mine. Earlier than me. How can that be? Tsk. Me very dumb right? Yup. I'm really dumb. Den today, i went down the level, walk to the other block and went up one level to the staff room. Den, we realised tt the classroom is actually jus beside the stairs next to the staff room. Double dumb. But now.. I get the hang of the building structures and half the short-cuts. So. I hope tmr, I can get to the classrooms faster. Muahahahaha
Can't wait to get busy soon.
*WOOT*
PS: Many thanks to TXL, Haley, Adelz and Sally who entertained me with tons of SMS on the first day so that I dun feel so bored sia. Hahahahaha.
