We're still young!

The end of March is now and I have only a few more weeks to go for my practicum~ Can't tell you guys how happy I am~ ngehehehh~

Live has been not easy especially during working hours, it wasn't easy because the awkwardness and animosity going on around the office. But of course, I still try to be civilized although patience is running seriously thin. I am a bit high strung lately too. Stress and disappointment was unavoidable. Tired and mounting work was unbearable. But I know I must persevere for the sake of my future. I take into heart what Mr. Teo and Miss Jo-Ann had advised me to do. I must try harder and think more creatively of what I am going to do for my students. All these while I was not able to really connect with the kids because I felt like the class isn't mine. I was almost always observed by my mentor. I felt no freedom and no independence. But now I am determined to take over the class even if she's there watching me. YOSH!

Depressing issue aside.

My actual post is suppose to sound like this...

OMG!! We're still young!! Lets live our lives to the fullest! Yeeee haaaw!! Anastasia binti Leoh. Here's your song! ngeheheh =P

A week of hols gone!

Ughhh I can't believe I'm working today... LOL I have the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday blues. Well I guess that's what you feel after a week of no work and relaxation lol. But of course it was no fun! A week of hols but no INTERNET? What the friggin' hell, STREAMYX?? Nnnngggrrr!!

Breathe in, Breathe out

Sigh anyway, while I'm typing away... I'm actually hiding out at the Councelor's Room at our school lol Well since we have nothing else to do while waiting for our classes... might as well help ourselves with the internet connection lol. PLUS I can't stand being in the staff room. I felt like I was under the microscope and had no free will to do anything that I wanted. Not even write a report or writing something in microsoft words. =3=

Honestly, I never really liked the school. I guess beggars can't be choosers but only losers. Meh. At least I don't have to work here anymore after my practical.

To tell you the truth, teaching isn't that hard. The documentation, hard work, old teachers pestering at your back etc are the ones that'll break you. I personally don't want to think much about it because I know for sure I'm easily influenced and I'll get all stressed up for nothing. Ngeh,

It has been a while since I've started writing this year. Hmm, so I'm going to start writing around this week. I have thought about the story and hopefully it'll turn out well. Come to think of it. I have to prepare my lesson plan. Maybe after that =P

January semester is almost overrrrrr!! 7 more weeks to go! Weeeee!!

Ah, just another short post

I am in school right now... I am in a meeting in the Cyber Room 2 of SMK Datuk Peter Mojuntin, Penampang. I hereby say I am bored. Well, you know me. My attention span is exactly 45 minutes. Believe me, I've counted lol.

Naaaah, just kidding. I'm actually in the English Panel meeting. I believe they are discussing about how to improve the quality of English in the school.

Madam Principal suggested we organize a 'Reading Camp' to improve English grammar and sentence. I believe that's an excellent idea but I also believe to improve English, students are to write and to speak out loud. Just that when it is not applied (speaking), there's no point really. They don't use the language effectively. But of course it'll improve their grammar.


OMG! I wrote this but I didn't post! LOL man stressed to the extreme

Observation day

I know I'm supposed to post this on the day of the observation itself but hey... I was tired and lazy lol~ *gets tomatoes thrown at her* eeeek ok. I'll try to keep updating as much as I can next time... T-T

Friday (2nd March 2012),

My lecturer/supervisor Mr. Teo came to observe both me and Malvin (Practicum Partner) because last week he couldn't due to the school's many surprise activities. =3= and they blamed us for that. Meh. It wasn't us who said there was no pnp (Pengajaran dan Pelajaran) during the first half of the afternoon session in the first place.

Aaaaaaaanyway, lets just forget about that. So he came and observe us. I was quite nervous at the time too. I wasn't quite prepared for the things that my mentor wants me to do. Because what she asked me was pair the students up and ask them to paraphrase stanza 1 to 4. Pick the best one and write on the board. And then hand them worksheets (fill in the blanks) for them to do. ALL that in 35 minutes. And I was like.... wha-? are you kidding me? These kids are... well they ARE bright but not all of them can answer straight away in say.... 10 minutes? They need at least 15 minutes. Well I tried my best to follow my mentor's orders. And luckily I managed to finish everything on time albeit the students have no idea what they are doing. LOL!

Damn, remind me to use my own methods and be confident with it. Meh. Overall it was okay. Mr. Teo said my voice is soft. I guess next time I need to shout and scream in class lol. And he said I could still improve my lesson plan. Alright, now that I know what my mistakes are. I guess I have a lot of work to do and of course for my student's best interest I will try my best to improve my methods.

That's the end of my observation. Hopefully it'll be okay next time. >.<

That's all for now. Ciao ciao!
