relief teaching experience

Well, it's been three tiring but enjoyable days since i started relief teaching...

Day 1... Came to rv where Mr Tan met me at the office. Had total of three lessons at the com lab. Its basically some 3D design program (i think it will be interesting for engineering!) . Mr Tan took the first two lessons and i took the last one.

Some of the sec 1 cadets recognised me, hehh

It was , uh, a challenge. In com lab basically once the students start to do their own thing and its a challenge to get them to listen. I even shouted at them once. Got to improve on my skill of managing a class.

Day 2... Essentially the same. I combed my hair neater to have the more 'authoritative' look. Slightly better now

Had a long day today, cos had CCA in the afternoon and after that rushing for heritage day. after that rush for tuition... $8.60 since the driver went by Clementi Ave 6! I din feel good about that already cos i was there for 2yrs 4 mths and know that time always jam! So true enough it jam and my cab fare kept jumping!

After tuition went back to work out the solutions for maths tutorial. Stayed up till pretty late.

Day 3 ... Last minute request because one of the teachers was on MC. But it was good! I met the group of people i wanted to meet! Anyway, covered sec three and sec two maths and... took another class for PDP (Pupil Development Programme). During my time its called lifeskills. Very interesting.
This is the first (and probably only) day I get to teach in classroom, but i like it. i want another relief teaching assignment next year!

Went off at about 2 ... went to NUS to settle my hall.

It's something like SAF bunk... twin sharing. A bit small but looks okay to me. Like that single room may be even smaller... cos what i heard is that there's normal single room and large single room which is the same size as a double room... well if double room is this small... what about single? *shudders*

Had dinner at Yusof Ishak house after which I went home and slept from 6pm to 10 plus.. woke up by sis xiaowei's call. Wanted to know if joseph is coming back again. which unfortunately, he is not, but good to know that he has been blessed all this while!
