The long weekend is coming to an end.  Luckily I can skip classes to attend the convocation this Thursday, but all other days are going to be long days with CCA, remedial and curriculum differentiation courses. Gonna be a long week ahead. And the kiddos are going to turn in their homework tomorrow. Oh man, I have just cleared the piles and the new ones are coming in. Save me.

4 long years of bond. I wonder if I can persevere and survive the 4 years of nagging, marking and lesson planning. I devoted so much time to marking and lesson planning that I end up having little time for myself. My comic book was left on the table for the whole month. I couldn't even spare two hours to read it. I have not touched my PSP for the whole month. And obviously, I didn't have time to blog. My lunch was taken under piles of assignments. I had little time to sleep.

Looking on the bright side, it was way better than the past one year. At least, I feel that I'm making a contribution to the school and making a small difference to the students' math education (hopefully it is in the positive sense). More importantly, I need not listen to someone crapping about going deep into the topic when he gave trivial examples in class. Here, it is perfectly alright to be chim, without having people rolling eyes at you. All in all, things are still quite ok, and I have a pleasant feeling on almost everything.

Well well. I still can't recognize many of my students. Hopefully things will get better this week after I've gotten hold of their seating plans. Got to make more effort in knowing them better.

Have to adapt quickly, before I burn out. Lots of things to settle tomorrow. Suffocating.
