This week's 8 days issue is so bad

Random title because i could not think of a good one. Blaugh.

Before i start rambling, i need to tell BUDDY LIU that i'm so sorry i replied ur tags using ur nick HAHA i know lah you're gonna say i'm stupid. Hai whatever. You can tell it's me because of the pink thing that only MY tags have okie. Cus i am the cbox'sadministrator. *proud smirk*

I'm starting to miss all my besties terribly. I miss stupid Pan whom i never get to meet up though we're both in Singapore. I miss Liu the most! Because i don't even have to sign in to msn to check if she is online to catch up. Study hard ya, Liu? If not i smack you ah! I have since decided to allow myself to sign in to msn during school hours if i'm by the desk. That way i'd feel less cut off from the world out there hurhur. Pris, who is at Vivo today but my feet hurt too much to wanna shuffle to Vivo. My love, whom i haven had a decent chat with since...forever! Love i miss you! Sch buds not so bad i just saw them this week but i'm sure by next week i'd wanna see them again.

Oh my, what's my world coming to? I see my world crumbling into pieces... *cues sad music* HAHA damn drama.

I'm feeling very antsy today because by some miracle i am given a chance to leave school at 1pm, yet i find out that apart from napping i have nothing to do. =(

Okay backtrack a little. Today, my department teachers invited a white South African lady from the British Council to give a talk about J.M Coetzee's Disgrace, which is the text we're currently doing. Yup, they were all so eggcited about the talk, and i was infected too. HAHA. So after the talk of course there is an obligatory lunch. I din know i was involved so i din think much of it. But my sup very nicely asked me if i have any plans for lunch because she wants me to join the entourage for lunch. So yay! Interesting lunch, actually interesting food also because we ate at the only restaurant i have never set foot into at Causeway Point. Lol.

We discussed many texts and wow it was all so insightful. I must really thank my NTU professors for equipping me with more than i need in this subject. I am proud to say that i have read a little of, or at least heard of most of the texts that were mentioned during lunch. My passion for Literature is fueled up again! I really have awesome professors. =)

Another thing that left an impression during lunch was their advice that i should take up the Teaching Award. They were actually talking as if i am already offered the award which is kinda weird because hello they would be the ones assessing me and they have yet to assess me because the internship is not over yet. They were explaining to me how the bond of 3 years passes by very quickly and it really is a good deal. When i recall that i have to repay my study loan after i graduate, i kinda also agree that the Teaching Award will solve all problems. Since i am quite sure i will go into teaching eventually anyway. But. If i were to go into teaching as a profession immediately after graduation, i never will witness for myself how working in private sector is like. And i know i will always live with this regret of not having tried it out. Sure i can finish my bond with MOE, than get out and get a job in a private sector. But.... I dunno. Can one leave MOE and go back to MOE after maybe 5 years? Hmmm. I think i have to email someone who can answer my queries.

I was also thinking...wow, 3 months ago i would never have imagined myself working, having department lunches and all. This internship really opens up room for lots of self-exploration and experience. I'm quite glad for this chance.My only gripe is hurhur having to wake up bloody early.I feel tired every morning without fail. But okay that's a silly complaint.

Oh did i mention that i was suddenly thrown into reliefing a J2 class yesterday? Their teacher fell sick and had to go off early to see a doctor, and no one else was free (with Pre-U sem preparation, invigilation planning and exam timetable scheduling and all) so i had to take the class. Overall it was fine i guess. The students were nice and responsible enough. Today i saw them on the way to lecture and they remembered me. Smiled and waved. =)

Now oh now what should i do. I wanna get out of the house since it's Friday night and for once i am not tired. K bye.
