A belated post;I attended a BBQ my ex-students organised last Sunday (So much for studying and exams). Well I told myself I needed a break (more like a break from slacking) so off I went to barbecue. I'm glad I went ^^
I haven't attended a class gathering since sec 3 (IKR NO LIFE) and I really envied my students, how bonded their class was, how the cliques co-existed peacefully.
There were some awkward times when I found myself in a state of limbo. Hanging around/chatting with my mentor who was there felt weird. Conversation topics ran out quickly and were centered around academia while on the other hand talking with the students made me feel so old. Z.Z But they were nice; albeit a bit too inquisitive about the state of my pathetic love life. I think that's something that never changes - students are always too kaypoh about their teachers' relationships.
Meeting my students again reminded me of the childlike innocence, cliques, all the happy memories sec sch/JC brought me, and it made me wonder if I should have taken up the teaching scholarship instead. Then I went home and my mum was grumbling about the rotten state of affairs somewhere and I decided maybe not. HAHA.
