I was just complaining to Char before IDT (intentional discipleship training) how my going back to teach has turned my schedules upside down - used to have time each day to do some workouts... I didn't get to run even once this week. :(

Ah wells.

Having said that, I am thankful that I'm back to teach. Really. I never really did think that I would actually enjoy teaching (perhaps I've not yet experienced the full load, including all the admin and what nots) but yeah... it has been a little physically draining. I guess it might have just been me... but I feel uncomfortable giving students half-past-six lessons, even if I'm just covering duties. So I would spend hours just preparing the slides and materials for teaching... last year I actually prepared pre-test notes... think I'll do so this time round... and I'll try hard not to think that they'll just take it for granted, which they most probably will. Hahaha...

What I'm enjoying most are the little snippets of time catching up with those whom I've taught before last year while moving from one place to another - in my case, from the staff room to the computer lab and back. Bumped into Bryan and Jerry the other day after school... Had a little chat with Shaun and Mingxuan yesterday... met Wayne and the rest of the class while walking to the lab today... there's a little tinge of a pity that I didn't get to teach them longer last year - it's like you're just starting to warm up to them in two months and you'll have to end it there and then. There's a possibility of taking them for two weeks next term... definitely looking forward to that. :)

Stupid as it sounds... I really hope that one day I'll be able to take a form class and spend more time knowing the students. Hahaha... it's already a miracle that I'll soon be working on a full time capactiy... so I shall not push things too far.

As He leads bah. :)
