What a productive day despite mistakenly turning up at 8.30am for a workshop which I needn't attend after all since I'm leaving soon. However, that forced me to wake up real early (yawn...) to get to school and I could use the 3 over hours to mark and settle some stuff for tomorrow's lesson plus also prepare a sample for tomorrow's art lesson. So it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
Sometimes I wonder why some kids need attention so much when at home, they already have the attention of at least a parent who's not working (not talking about those irresponsible parents but those who actually do take an interest in their children's work...). There are some kids who just can't wait for instructions but keep going to my desk in the classroom to as what we'd be doing next. It takes a lot not to snap at them. What's wrong with going with the flow and waiting for instructions? Instead of asking something that is going to happen. Even after I wrote the schedule for the day including "PE", I had people who kept asking every period if there's PE and when I asked (loudly) 2 children to go ahead to collect the balls to bring to the basketball court, someone still kept on asking me if there's PE.
I think I know why I am becoming more and more blur. There are so many things to do at the same time and yet I have to repeat every minute detail all the time that it's making me jumpy and end up not being able to focus more than I should. Just yesterday, I actually took the bus from the bus stop that's on the wrong side. "-_- It's a bus I take everyday somemore. I happily boarded it but came to my senses (fortunately) by the next bus stop.
Slap me to wake me up please.
