first two days

i wanted to laugh out loud. i have been getting the old students from my previous year form class coming up to me saying they missed me and how (i quote directly) "u r one of the best teachers we ever had."

and just a few months back they think i am their wicked witch of the west who was so hard on them, they felt tortured beyond insanity.

but i am sure only a few kids feel this way. i am positive there are people who still think i am crap.

to each his own.

but for today, thats the nicest bit of stuff i heard. makes me feel that teaching is such a noble job and at the end of the day, even though u dont win the popularity poll, eventually, u will reach to the kids some how, and not just necessarily thru yr lessons.

the netball girls had their AGM earlier on. we discussed loads and did the banners together. it was damn hilarious. the banner for the wall especially. we were all so inspired by CSI and decided to get one of the girls to lie down on the cloth and traced her outline (chalk-outline of murder victim!) and wrote "WANTED: NETBALLERS". on the exhibition day, we'll have a guessing game for the sec ones to guess which of their seniors were conned into becoming the 'model'.

i must thank marr and her family for generously sponsoring the souvenier for the sec ones who signed up. its lovely sweet scented candle. damn cute. thanks again marr.

anyhow, gd job to all the other girls. the spirit is fantastic. have fun training on thursday. miss cow-boy boots will be there if u guys need anything.

meanwhile, i am off to the sec one orientation camp at labrador park. i told that to my sec one form class. one boy said, "why is it called labrador park? are there alot of dogs?"

i laughed. and didnt managed to answer his question. told him to ask the instructors that question later at camp.

ok, off to do more work. may the fun never ends.
