Stopped struggling? Getting used? Giving up struggling?

The previous week has been a hectic one, where there is final last minute revision to squeeze in as many topics as sanely possible within the last few days b4 the exams, followed by invigilation duties during lesson, followed by more revision. Shortly after it progressed to early morning exam marking, followed by invilgilation, followed by revision and lesson as per normal.... It took a toll but I am still glad its over. Phew wonder whose the real one being TESTED?

Thereafter came the adminstrative duties, complete EPMS, key in attendance, key in dunno what character report, remarks and more. Moreover I am hampered by the lack of Token, a usb thing necessary to allow one to login to all the key accounts. DUH!

So during the weekends, just stayed home. Mapling a bit, during my normal timing. Surprising right? A family friend passed away so there were alot of changes of plans for the weekend. It is also the last week of jap holiday. SOBZ... i was starting to enjoy my free saturdays. So Sat was spent going to the dentist, a bit of mapling, watching tv? Hardly went out. Dunno how the hours flew. Sunday we went to the funeral wake, then later dinner. Hmm followed by mapling. Then the weekend is almost over. Luckily i got one day off this coming week in liew. May go out to VIVO city? or Maple 24hr 2xp? or laze and sleep? or wake up early like usual, go for breakfast, then watch and gloat as the working crowd rushes by... while I enjoy my morning coffee? Hmm hope I can wake up....

Therefore 9 more days to end of teaching duties, looking very forward to it. So I dun have to think of ideas to occupy them. Things like Mental sum bingo, teaching Sudoku, or even giving maths puzzles to Online Maths games. Its tiring to have to think up things for them, given I am a boring person.

So far how's my status of "My-life-suck-and-I-want-to-bum" state? Well somehow the feeling receeded a bit. Maybe I am starting to 'fit-in' or am too busy to think about it for the past month or I am starting to accept the "I-have-to-work-to-support-myself-cos-nobody-is-going-to-support-me" truth...

Subaru Challenge?

The Subaru Challenge started once more. Why dun they hold it during the Dec holidays? Then I believe many disillusioned Educators may try their luck to win one. I maybe among them, pressing my palm fervently and hoping to outlast all the rest, all in the name of Freedom. Currently cannot take any leave for any reason unless is for death or maternity-related. So after the kick-off on Fri, the competition is going into its 3rd day and yet there are still pple. Which means it will eat into Monday, which is a working day. Sign... its a conspiracy, to set the event on weekday so tat Educators cant participate.

Well nothing much else to write about, so chiow until next post.
