Enhanced School Experience Day 1!!!ENHANCED SCHOOL EXPERIENCE DAY 1!!!
Yup...today's my first day in dunno how many years back in sch again...but as a tcher haha...after 4 years in NUS and being able to wake up at like 11am to go sch, i hav to start waking up early like a student again..haiz...by de way, de sch tat i'm posted to is de sec sch of former project superstar winner, Kelvin Tan!!!!! haha...their pride!
Usually, schs shd hav their general office juz somewhere near de entrance rite? but seems like tis sch's general office abit hard to find..den my fren n i were like walking like tourists around de sch trying to find de office..haha...den was led to de staff room...and gosh! it was damn crammed!! lots of files, books, papers chucked everywhere...really messy n definitely a fire-hazard place!!! And they actually had too many new tchers cumin in, den got nt enuf tables..so got to share..haha...de sch shd really consider renovation..hmm...
Den after tat, had to go 4 assembly...haha such a long time since i did sth lidat...reminded of my good old days in sch..hehe...n as usual, students dun sing national anthem...haha...only tchers sing haha n maybe a few patriotic students..hehe...but it was really a gd reminder of de good old days in sch...And after assembly de principal intro de new tchers to de sch...thankfully no need to say anything...juz do de miss universe wave..haha...
Had a chat wif de principal n VP...quite formal hehe...n den de VP asked us to take on a CCA oso..and she was like saying, "Let me noe which CCA u wld like to take.." And I was like wah! can choose ar?? cuz i heard tat usually they'll juz assign since most CCAs taken up liao...immediately, i tot of de military band!!! tats my CCA frm pri 2 to sec 4!!!! haven been wif band for sumtime liao, so wanted to experience de feel of it again...enjoying de music we produce n oso de sectionals wif seniors...n of course nt forgeting de camps n farewell parties oso...good old dayz..haha...thankfully de VP readily agreed to let me take band...it made my day!!! was so glad!! :)
Received my timetable n it was nt very packed lah..mainly juz had to do observations in class...so seems quite relaxed...2 out of my 3 assigned tchers actually told me tat i need nt teach...juz sit behind n observe can liao...but doin observations only does get a little boring...sometimes i felt really sleepy n had to try hard to not doze off...(bad example to kids!) hav to start pinching myself...hehe... but de 3rd tcher i got, my maths tcher, was actually quite frenly n nice...n he was like saying "it's up to u whether u wan to teach anot.." tot it might be gd to try, instead of juz doin observations behind the class, which can be a sleep-prone task especially right after lunch and during double periods...n since its a sec3 class, they r nt too stressed to rush to finish de syllabus, so still got time for newbies like me to teach...haha...he doesnt use powerpoint or computer to teach..juz mainly follow textbook...so relatively little preparation work...hehe...maybe i'll start teaching it next week... :) As for now, juz sit back n relax a little first...looking forward to band practice on wed!!! :)
