first MAJOR class
I've told myself a hundred and two times not to succumb. Not to cave in to the pressures of the internet connection BECAUSE I know I'm being tracked. This is called stupidity. Nevertheless, I think I won't have a chance to blog later on so I've given up my futile resistance and logged on to blogger while at work.I NEED TO GET THIS OUT OF MY SYSTEM.
I'm waiting to go meet my net people at Clementi CityVibes so I figured I should just stay where I am and kind of conveniently forgot that my contacts may soon disappear into the cornea of my eye. (that's a bit exaggerated but you get the drift)
Taught my first class today. Not exactly my first class but it was a lot more scary than teaching English for one simple reason. It's like I have to be their textbook. I have to know my facts even when I'm asleep. I have to dream of those facts because these kids will know it if I don't know my content. I just want to start reading from the textbook or the script or something. Standing in front of the class with 32 pairs of eyes all fixated on me is NOT a good feeling. My mouth turns dry regardless of how much water I had gulped down earlier. It feels like I'm talking with my mouth filled with sawdust. Each word is a croak. The gears up there are turning at a speed of 24 revolutions per second BUT all I see is a blank canvas. Can I really do this for the rest of the 6 weeks?
Now I know how much courage a teacher has to muster in order to teach. I ADMIRE ALL MY TEACHERS^INFINITY.
edit- I had to post this. It's so so so COINCIDENTAL? Is that the appropriate word to use? No more like special that C and I are so alike. We're different yet we share so many similarities. Like how our usernames are similar (kind of). I mean of all the millions and trillions of words in the dictionary our usernames are like love something. Plus we both HEART Hwang Tae Kyung. His real name isn't as nice that's why. AND AC TOO! We also share the same interest in going online and looking for icons to save. At first I was really taken aback when C said she did that for her livejournal icon thingys but then I realised I'm no better. I have like a few folders each labelled differently for different wallpapers and icons and stuff. GOODNESS. WE'RE SO SO SO SIMILAR (in that aspect). Each day at work throws up something new. I guess that's what makes life interesting :)
met up with the net for net dinner at sakae. Thank God that we're a bunch of foodies who LOVE eating :) so it was fun and this quote struck me after the dinner.
A happy heart is better than a full purse.

Which is so so so true. I wouldn't have been as happy as I had been today if I was a miser and decided that I didn't want to spend so much money on food. Aston's tomorrow night + net and I CAN'T WAIT :)
