3rd week of March
It's now the third week of March... and well, my bloggie is as good as dead. Ha. I'm now in my third week of my practicum... seven more weeks to go. I miss my NIE friends. And I would almost definitely say that studying is much better than working :P
Just a few days back, I added a phrase to my MSN nick... {Schreckliches Leben}. Perhaps life isn't that terrible, it's just that I'm a little overwhelmed with the fact that I have to really be able to control the class to get a decent grade for practicum. Really not easy lo... Haha.
Anyway, {Schreckliches Lebeb} is now {No more Mr Nice Guy}, at least for one of my classes. I guess I've really started off being too kind to them, to my disadvantage and dismay. Perhaps there's some truth in first using the "scare tactic" before reverting to softer measures. Had a persistent headache the whole day yesterday, perhaps due to me "over-preparing" for the showdown yesterday morning. Ha.
Life's manageable... Hectic yet fulfilling I guess =]
The March holidays had been a good break though, having the chance to prepare myself for the many weeks ahead. Not too well prepared though. Going home only at 6pm isn't what I expected this week. More late days to come.
Lessons are happening though... every lesson is an opportunity for stories to tell to others. I guess I've had my share of unexpected stuff the past few weeks. Ha. Taken with a pinch of salt, some of the happenings are quite funny ba.
Okie, better go bathe and sleep le... Tomorrow is Friday. It's the school sports day I think. I can't really find information about it anywhere. Hmmm. But I think it is lah. Will go to the stadium instead of school in the morning then. Oh, and... I'll be missing so many Friday lessons, that I dunno whether to be happy or sad. No time no time...
Kk, till next time. Gute Nacht und schoenes Wochenende!

if you need some tips on how to turn a class of rascals into reasonable little adults, let me know. i have some past experience in dealin with them.
and no matter what happens, just hang in there. first few years will always be tough. after you build a name around the kids for what you are, and cannot be, then things will be ok.
Eh LOL!
He's in a school which gives people headache. I know because in same school currently. =X
But anyway, I must say that this current school which he is in now really provides any teacher with good learning experiences. Because, it's really kinda tough to deal with these students. Oh well, when they know they cannot step over you, you can be their friends as well as teachers. =)
It takes time I guess. When I'm free, I'll share a whole load of stories with you! A lot of teachers told me how they feel when they first came into this school! =D
Nonetheless, JIAYOU Nots!
hdbanger > Ha, I think I'll be able to manage somehow. Things are still quite ok :P It'll just be a quick 7 more weeks though. The rest will come late June, but I shall not bother about it yet.
xinhui > Yea... 7 more weeks of "gossip-time". Haha. Will slowly get a feel of how the students are ba. Hopefully it's not that bad. Heh
