Another week has passed.....it is now Semester 1, Term 1, Week 4. Am feeling super tired, mentally and physically. Often spend my PE periods running with the kids, and hence, often feel exhausted by the end of the day....this is especially so for Wed-Fri, coz I have like 3-4 periods of PE each day.... This week I truly learnt a lot....about patience, and to not ask too much of myself and the kids. It's just so hard sometimes, especially with the foreigners coz they just don't seem to understand what I am saying. And even when they do, it doesn't usually translate to them being able to do their work, coz their command of English is just so weak.....and the extremes of the class are really so far apart. I gave my kids their first revision test for math, and it seems, through the scores, that all of them passed, and half of them scored about 80%. Though it's heartening to see such results, but, I wonder if it is because I guided them through here and there.......but..oh well, I shan't think too much....after all, it's their first one...and I believe they also aren't used to it. I just love my kids so much even though they get on my nerves so terribly sometimes.... =) Hmm....tomorrow's gonna be quite a long day, coz gonna spend some time with Darling and our friends....pretty much the whole day is taken up....but...I guess it's also time for me to relax....one more week till my birthday....feels so odd to be 22.....haha..... seldom feel like blogging these days...and even when i do, i just don't know what to write....i guess it's coz i'm planning so much for my everyday, that all my brain cells are used up by the time I have any free time to write....though this job takes up far more time and mental activity than being a cook, but, at the end of the day, i really do have much more time with my darling than I used to. And, ultimately, everyday is a new and different day....no matter how much you plan, you still need to be ready for things to happen beyond your control...and that's the beauty of the job.....no two days are ever the same.....coz the kids react differently every single day.....and hence, we always need to be kept on our toes, to make every minute of our time and their time worthwhile...... oh well...shall go off to bed now...really need to sleep before i go crazy............
