=(
somehow... my days in school are progressively getting longer and more difficult... been taking other klasses other than my own... and found one of them being quite challenging... considering i'm just two years older... it's quite difficult for me to simply preach to them about chemistry and all... so i kinda find it very tough when students just look at me and copy answers... i need dialogue... questions... answers... i'm not a trained teacher... they all know that... i felt lost during labwork today... felt unmotivated... unappreciated... my own klass S208 was fine today... was having difficulty with a concept... couldnt really explain to joel... but got mr sung to explain it to me already... think i should be able to get joel to understand now... mr lim offered to sit in my lab lesson today... just in case i needed help with SPA... felt bad to deprive him of his break... and also because i din want him to know how badly i actually teach... so i told him that he din have to come... i really think work station (cubicles) are terribly unfriendly stuff... promote anti-socialism... dont really have pple to crap to... oni jasmine... who i can only see through a small window... through which i can only see her chair... and mr sung... coz our cubicles face each other... but he's usually really busy at work... work = back facing me... so when he asked me about my day today... i din realise he was actually talking to me... perm teachers dont talk to us that often these days... maybe they finally realised we're just a bunch of slackers trying to get some money from MOE... oh well... i AM... but i'm really working hard... considering i have to re-study every topic i have to teach... bring home stuff to do everyday... a prof chua from NTU called this morning... actually missed the call coz i was in klass... called back... and got an informal interview... was relatively surprised that they have an interview for MPEngineering... was thinking it would be a rather obscure course to take... but considering he actually called to ask questions... i think many pple actually applied for it... and accordingly... believed him entirely coz i was just too tired for skeptism... i would probably be offered MPE for NTU... for which i am glad... din know how to answer some of his questions actually... coz i really wasnt expecting his call... therefore, wasnt prepared... so, why did you choose MPE? coz i wanted to join the airforce? darn... which was partially true... would have tried to think something smarter to say... but just couldnt... coz i just came out of a 50 min lesson in which i was tortured by 20 students... oh well... just glad he sounded satisfied with my answer... and sounded keen to give me the position... received NUS letter about the courses they offering me... got industrial systems engineering... which was weird... coz i din apply for it... email came say they had some typo... and would send me another letter soon... coincidentally... ISE was what stella ng applied for... but she got offered mech engineering... mech was what i applied for... yet i got ISE... did they mix us up? have oni one lab lesson tomorrow... and i'll make my way to NUS for the USP interview... wish me luck... lots of it... ----Stef stopped rambling at 17:51 --Link to Post |
