A break? Not!

It's finally the recess week! For those who don't know what I'm talking about, it means the one week break during the middle of the semester. It's otherwise known as term break I suppose. Anyway, it's hardly a break for me coz I have 3 tests to study for and 3 assignments to finish up... all due next week. Bleah. But oh well... I guess it's not too bad becoz I've been rather consistent with my studying this semester, and for the assignments, I more or less have a rough idea how to do them. So all in all, not that bad... I just gotta get my lazy ass moving!

I suppose I've been exhausting myself. Fell sick the day before term break. lol. Just in time too! Now that I've (more or less) rested the weekend away, it pains me to get started again! Wahahaha. Laziness is innate in me. =p But I've finally gotten the fruits of my labour! That is, for my work (not studies, mind you). A nice hefty 2.3k! But then, 500 bucks went into CPF, so I guess I'm left with 1.8k. Not too bad either. But I'm not about to spend it all up like that! No no, it's to last me till... well as long as possible. Won't be working anymore after september. Perhaps I'll get some sort of part time job during the Dec hols. Hopefully there'll be some jobs on the facil side. HAven't done those in months! Been too busy with other work.

Anyway, I'm here in the library now. My dear friend Gerald Pang stood me up! Lol. He's supposed to study with me...now that I'm here, I've just gotten a nice message from him saying he can't make it coz he's got errands to run. Tsktsk. Oh well. Just as well I supposed. At least I'm out of the house. Nothing else to do but study.... and go online of course. *grins*

All right. I guess I better get back to work. There isn't much going on in my life right now. Actually it suits me really fine. None of the bothersome relationship problems that some of my friends are having right now. My life revolves around God, my family, my friends and me. It suits me PERFECT. =)

Satisfaction!

I'm happy today! I have once again found the reason why is it that I really want to be a teacher. =) Let me tell you why.

I was just about to end tuition today when my kid asked me a couple of questions. So needless to say, I extended tuition to try to understand what he was asking me, and in turn trying to answer his question. Anyway, about 20min later the mum came out, asking if the boy was taking up too much of my time since I normally had to rush off on Mondays. I assured her that it was ok, and we were just finishing up anyway. After concluding the lesson, the mum talked to me a bit. I told her I was glad Rayson was finally opening up and asking me questions. What she said next really made my heart soar. She said that this is the first time she's seen him open up so much in tuition. He's normally very quiet during such lessons. And also, Rayson asked her why was it so late into the year that he finally got a good teacher. OMG!! I'm super touched!! Felt so good about myself the whole way back.

Admittedly it can be quite trying to teach him cause there are many times where I have to keep repeating myself. And the questions he asked weren't always immediately comprehensible. Had to clarify about a hundred times before finally answering it. Lol. But I guess it's all worth it in the end. =)

Though I might find myself complaining whenever I have to work...whenever I have to go teach tuition... I guess when it comes to it, I do still put in my best. The result makes it all worthwhile....
