ramblings for a hectic day

hullo...today was a mad rush for me...very mad. with my observation lesson in bits n pieces (in terms of planning and logistics. and other lessons in the midst of my day. But THANK GOD, no relief today! (else would be even busier) and my trainee colleague was kind enough and available to help me photostat several stuff. Thank GOD for colleagues and friends like that. I think i helped her before once too...we should all help one another :) my T class surprisingly was quite good today...still a lot of noise...but at least some work was done. It is a class that u don't really know what to expect for the day. Many of them have mood swings (esp. the prominent ones in the class). So depending on their mood swings, this will affect how the lesson goes. But, I'm glad for the little 'nice' lessons that i have. and also the april fool thingy...a few were teasing me about april fool..haha! at least it wasn't done in a horrid way (imagine cockroaches etc.) but a rather nice way...i don't mind these jokes :p i pray that things will get better with this class by and by because i know many of them are actually quite kind but unfortunately, have poor family background and support. LORD, help thou me in my attitude towards them.

One boy volunteered an answer. before i told him whether it was right or wrong, i asked him for his name. and he was wondering why but he quickly came to the conclusion, "Aiyah, cher, I know why, you want to know my name and then tell other teachers what I gave this stupid answer right?" (quite angrily) He misunderstood my intention. Mine was a pure intention of wanting to know his name and praise him to the class for volunteering his answer. It's then that I really see the inferiority complex that they have. Knowing it is one thing, but hearing it another. I explained to him that I just want to know my student's name. I hope he gets that. Maybe I'll address it again with him outside class.

thank GOD for a good observation report today...tho' she still had some negative points to make..but well, i'm happy enough. :) 6 more to go!

alright, really drained out today, I'm going to unwind now...going out! yeah! the little things in life that excite us.
