I really think I am getting dumber. Or maybe lazier.
It's been a long week. There are so many times I felt like blogging, after my first ever tuition session with my tutee on Monday, after the headache-inducing 4 hour nap I had on Tuesday, after comm serve and going to SCS (Singapore Cancer Society) on Thursday, after going back to St John training on Fri, and of course the H4-1 outing on Sat...
But in the end I didn't blog a single time.
I was simply too tired to do so, or lazy perhaps.
My command of the language is deteriorating fast. I just wrote the worst essay of my life on Thursday during GP lesson.
Great, now I can't write English AND Chinese properly anymore.
I'm attempting to do Maths tutorial 9a now by the way.
Maths makes me mad. (alliteration!) Like seriously.
I realised there isn't a logical flow to the sentences I just typed. Proves my point. My english sucks more now.
Had my first ever tuition session with my tutee on Monday. Wasn't as hard as I expected. In fact times flies when I'm teaching Maths. I think I can teach him Maths for the full 3 hours.
It's teaching Science that sucks. Especially when the curious kid kept asking questions. Questions that have totally no relevance to the syllabus. Questions that are probably not related to Science at all .But the job of the teacher is to answer all queries of the student. So I tried my best to answer the questions he asked in the simplest term I can find.
Actually I think I suck at making complex concepts simple. In fact, I can make simple concepts complex. I mean I can't even explain the concept of "atmosphere". I was stumped when the kid asked me why there's so much nitrogen in the atmosphere. Well, the textbook said the bacteria needs them, and bacteria are important to us, so that's how I answered him. Then his question became "Why is bacteria important to us", I was stunned this time round.
How am I supposed to explain all the cheem cheem bacteria-related concepts etc to him in simple language? Well, I resorted to something I should't have. "Well, it's not in your syllabus, you can go check online if you are really interested. Like you can go wikipedia!" I really said that, and to edmund if you're reading, yes, he loves to read wikipedia too. I almost burst out laughing when he told me that.
Mondays are now long long days for me. Tuition from 4-7. Eeks.
Tuesday, in comparison is friggin' short. I end at 1. And I don't have Chem H3. So on Tue, I actually went home early! For the first time in a long long time. Slacking and wasting time at the class bench after school isn't really something I should be doing this year.
But instead of going home and mug, or stay in school and mug, I went home and slacked. -_-" Took a 4 hour long nap. And I'm not a nap person at all. Woke up with a headache, blocked nose, etc, feeling very sick. And the worst thing is I couldn't sleep that night till like 4 am in the morning.
Oh, did I mention I'm sick again? Like after recovering from my previous illness for 3 days, I'm sick again. Makes me wonder if I even recovered in the first place. Wonder if it's the weather, the flu bug that's infecting like everyone in school, or is it just me?
Ok, this is getting very boring. Plus I'm feeling horrible now with a combination of blocked nose that cause my whole head to feel like exploding (maths may have made it worse I supposed).
And to make matters worse, mum is nagging at me, for forgetting to switch off the lights and fans in the dinning room, and for not sleeping early. Actually, she's probably right, I should sleep early. But any form of nagging/noise/talking at this instant is irritating.
Don't talk to me when I'm feeling lousy and horrible.
And my aircon doesn't seem to be working. It's friggin' hot.
Ok, I am signing off now. When I'm not in the mood, I just can't blog. Just like how all clothes seem ugly when I'm not in the shopping mood.
To sum up the rest of the stuff I initially want to blog about..
Comm serve at BHS makes me go 0.0 (wow)
St John makes me :)
H4 makes me :D
And memories of SCS attachment and Taiwan immersion kept flooding back to me these few days for some reason.
The donuts are so delicious, and the kids are so cute!
I miss pigging out late at night like at 2am+ outside 7-11 with them.
I miss my room (sort of) in Zhi Qun's house, they even put a small Singapore flag on the table. I miss his house too!
Or staying out late every night even though it's a school day tomorrow.
I even miss the bus ride with super comfy seats...
I miss Taiwan. :(
