On a high...Ups and downs, highs and lows...
Low at first, coz went to sleep without doing any work.
But happy, coz I woke up at 5 am! But ended up using the time to sort my papers and still left my house around 6.45 am. Reached taxi stand to see long queue of people waiting for cabs, which will take their time to come because it was 10 more minutes to 7 am, when the $2 surcharge comes on.
Still happy coz the bus came by and I hopped onto the bus to go to work for the first time in 3 weeks. Hope it's the start of a new trend...
Not so happy when MT took her time to scold the kids and used up my free period which I had intended to use for marking the 2E graph papers.
Even more not happy when I couldn't finish marking during the following free period. Never mind... It's time for the last 4T lesson of the week. Single period some more. And I prepared so many food stuffs for their lesson on preservation.
Hm... Idea - next lesson, shall attempt to talk about mummification as part of preservation technique? *grin*
Happier coz the 4T seems to have had fun during the lesson - they got to eat stuff in class and hopefully learnt about some preservation techniques.
Happiest, managed to quickly finish marking the 2E graphs after all during the next free period and lugged all my stuff for 2 double periods back to back. Super heavy lor!
Thankfully, bumped into a student on the way to class and she helped carry some of my stuff to class.
Students got back their graph tests and then were mostly on task drawing yet more graphs. Using IT like I did might have been more effective but how to? No screen, no projector, no nothing in class. And the comp labs are always booked. Now, even the LTs are also booked. Had to resort to ITR 3, will have to check it out to make sure projector, etc are all inside and can use. And most importantly, got at least 42 chairs inside the room.
The 3Ns also did their work quite diligently today so things could not have gone better today. I always knew 13 works for me!
After lessons finished, had to quickly rush out the admin & paper work for the Sec 4s going to Ngee Ann. Did up all their contacts, team groupings, got the handphone, made sure everything was in Mr Ngo's hands. Yippee! Wonder if I'd have preferred to go with the kids to Ngee Ann or stay at school like I was doing.
Anyway, more high when BL came to tell me no need to sit in for ICC today. But helped her to do up the admin & paper work regarding kids who have missed a lot of CCA sessions. Finished it with time to spare and wasted a lot of time coz I was waiting for Mr Ngo to come back.
However, missed him totally when he came back. Hope he's holding on to the clip board I lent to him. Cannot find anywhere already - the clip is at the side of the board rather than at the top. And only cost $2.
Okies. Very tired... Shall come back to report more later about my dinner + movie - the latest Harry Potter!
PS. Reminder to myself - check new timetable for myself + for the kids.
Cheers!
Okies. Really have to go wash up and change. Thankfully, now only need about 15-20 minutes to put on make-up. Spent more time deciding what to wear. Not bad. Left my place around 7.30 pm and got to Butter Factory in 15 minutes. Traffic was great today. And what a surprise! I think I was the first one there.
Kenah sporadic leg cramps since yesterday afternoon. It's probably due to dehydration. But friend says it's due to lack of sodium in my diet. Will check with doctor later.
Anyway, kept waking up due to the leg cramping and the lack of sleep caused my runny nose to activate... Argh! Ar-choo!
Woke up early this morning to violent thunder, lightning and heavy heavy rain. Got so worried that my newspapers collection exercise had to be cancelled. Called up someone who lived near the school to get a more accurate weather report and when the rain showed some signs of letting up, decided to go on with the exercise. Was really thinking of cancelling at a point of time...
