Long day

I just realised today... after this week, I'll only have lessons on two more Mondays before my holidays begin ie. just two hours of lessons per week for the next two weeks. That's scary.

Anyway, the day began with me waking up later than planned. Had to rush a little, since I was doing my micro-teaching today and had to wear formal clothings and comb my hair. It's time-consuming to dress up... I normally just wet my hair, put on my tshirt and berms, then head off to school le.

Micro-teaching wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Maybe I was a little nervous and not as prepared as I thought I was ba. A good learning experience though, since there was quite a bit of feedback from the lecturer (mildly negative ones). Have to work harder on my content knowledge. It's weird being a Physics teacher when my degree is in Computing. There's this horrid feeling of incompetency and inadequacy every time I conduct a Physics lesson or share Physics stuff. I'm more comfortable with Maths though, not that I'm fantastic in it... just more confident.

Lunch, followed by an hour in the library rushing my tutorial 3 reflection for my Individual Differences tutorial. Then it was two hours of Communication Skills. I'm not sure whether the problem lies with me or my lecturer... but I am almost always at a different frequency from him. I can never fathom what he's trying to say... or what responses he wants from me. My level of intolerance for the lesson has been rising over the weeks. I'm so going to die for my oral presentation. I'm rather definite that he won't be able to decipher what I say.

Two hours of tutorial for Individual Differences in a cold cold tutorial room. The lecturer dressed like a typical Taiwanese girl today and even spoke in Taiwanese Mandarin. Rather enchanting. Ha. Anyway, that aside, I had quite a hard time keeping myself awake towards the end of the lesson :P Went over to the canteen to grab some buns for my dinner and it was over to church to tutor my pastor's daughter.

Ehz, four hours of A-math tuition. I was half-dead by then... so I can't imagine how she was feeling. I did tell her not to practise anymore for the night, since it was really an overdose le. Well, I do hope that she will get decent results for her sciences and mathematics... since I put in quite a bit of effort over the past three weeks to help her.

Quite late le... shall go sleep. I'll hopefully wake up early tomorrow to get some stuff done. Maybe a short trip to the pool will be nice if the sun is out.
