1st day in school

Last night I woke 6 times! (23:58, 02:08, 03:04, 04:28, 05:00, 06:00) How weird I remember all these 6 time slots eh! I guess I was more worried than I thought. I was just *not* looking forward to today for some reasons. Maybe I don't really feel that I've had my summer holiday break. So I didn't really feel recharged or anything, plus my tummy's getting bigger and bigger, so I guess that doesn't help :)

I got back to school today at 7:34 (sign in time is by 7:55) so I am nice and early. Felt kinda energetic this morning, at least I can walk fast (unlike yesterday I was crawling), listening to my music, met some of my students, I put up my 'happy face' seeing them and soon enough I got into the 'first day school mode'. Turned out the class teacher period in the morning wasn't too bad. My partner was very nervous obviously. He's very good at talking (lecturing), some of the students were falling asleep but still he kept on going... :/ though he's a very nice person. Kept reminding the students how important it is to be careful around me because I am pregnant and how everybody should help each other and be caring. All these are very nice ideas but you have to see the look on these students' face *sigh* just wish they can appreciate it...

Around 11am, we went to the Hall, met some of my ex-students. They all said how much they missed me already and that my tummy's getting bigger heh (yes suppose to be lol). According to the schedule, the function in the hall should finish at 11:30 but it didn't finish until 12pm! When we went back to the classroom, a janitor found me and said 3 of my ex-students were waiting at the gate to see me, so I had to leave my partner in the classroom and went down to get them in. I was told that I have to accompany them until they leave school. So I skipped the last part of the homeroom period...

When the students left at 12:30, right after we were called to have this class teacher meeting in the conference room. They really don't have any time concept! It should be lunch time!!! I was starving already *sigh* they said it'll be a quick one. So much for being *quick*, we didn't get to leave until 1:30. I was thoroughly expired!!!! I need to eat or else I'll faint!!!

We quickly grabbed our lunch next door at the canteen and came back for yet more meeting. Jeff talked to me about how 'messy' it was when I was gone and it happened that he didn't give out the Folders which students are supposed to sign it and return tomorrow...He's so nervous, kept asking me if he needs to tell anybody about this, I said no, just distribute them tomorrow. I really wanna tell this man to just 'chill' !!

He looks way mature than me, so he can't be 'new' to teaching...ah well...I guess a nervous and sincere teacher better than irresponsible one :) so I think I am still lucky to pair up with him. Even though he said earlier 'wish you are the CT and I am the ACT' lol.

Tomorrow I'll have 2 lessons, still pondering on what to do with them. Hope they'll behave in my class. it's 4:44pm now, we can leave now, I guess I'll do more searching from home...

More updates later!
