Hello - I am back to update again after a long time. The holidays have just whooshed by and now its less than two weeks to the start of school. Not looking forward to it but I guess when it starts, I will be fine. I kind of know what classes I am teaching -and will be teaching classes which has some change agents. Haha wonder what will the look will be on their faces when they see me. But nothing to worry - I am such a nice caring teacher. They have "nothing" to worry about at all.
I have been on a few outings - the ice skating was great, meeting up with anna and viv(which as always is enjoyable) and shopping! I have cleared my study and dressing room and it looks so much better..... (and no pictures . ........ some things are just for my eyes only)
Today the N level results came out. While quite a few have done well ( I am very happy for them) a certain group took it too lightly. - The end result? The worst result out of the rest of the subjects. With 31% distinctions it may be considered ok but compared to the rest of the subjects greatly a letdown. The students will be out celebrating but for me, I have to answer why there was a dip in the performance. And I ask myself did I give my 100% ? I think I did. But still, I need to relook at teaching methods and see if there is any way in which I can improve.

To start off we were all hanging on to the railings and at the end progress to the centre of the rink - well most did it this way but there was one who stayed in the centre and then progress was getting back to base. ; )

Well after all the dingdonging about to go on Monday or not - we finally went ice skating. Too bad not all the change agents could join us. It was fun and after the first few attempts ended at failure, one person actually went " Can we not come here again?" but after another hour the same person didn't want to leave! It was a good day and we all enjoyed ourselves. It was great to see them trying again and again until they finally got the hang of it. And to see them getting along so well. (photos to be loaded when I can find the the missing wire for the camera - kekeke)
Went to school today for two back to back workshops from 9 in the morning all the way to 4.30 pm - my table is still a mess - I have to clean it up before school starts. Have been procastinating it - I must do it by this week. Anyone game to do it? I'll pay you by the hour. $5?
Other than that, tomorrow breakfast and lunch with friends. Now where is Anna's pressie? Argh more clearing up to find it.

Its the holidays and I still have so many things to do - procastinating a bit as a wave of depression hangs over me. Have been shopping and I think I have gone overboard -( A new laptop, 4 blouses, 3 pants, 1 skirt and 3 dresses. So now I have new clothes to wear for next year but no shoes! Help! I still can't find nice ones - when I finally do they don't have my size. The search continues. But I am going to give it a break - am not going anywhere near the mall or shops for a while. At this rate I would have spent my bonus before I even get it. Suppose to go ice-skating on mon - how many people going I don't know - well whether it is a small or large group I guess all of us need the day of fun. On a good note my friend is FINALLY back from her long trip so I am happy.
