Demoralised and Down...

Feeling quite demoralised with my observation feedback... Its mostly "acceptable" and a few "good" for both pe and math... No "excellent" at all... I'm not aiming high, but at least dun make me feel so sucky lah~ I know this is just a "pass" or "fail" grade only and i definitely passed already... But still............

I can kiss goodbye to my honors if this is what i get from my observations... Hiaz... maybe next sem dun need to work so hard for my grades liao... GPA above 4.5 also no use if the practicum grades are sucky... Might as well just relax in school and settle for 2nd lower class can liao...

Anyway, still have 2 more observations... 1 today, 1 tomorrow... Surely will get sucky feedback again... I'm starting to doubt my abilities as a teacher... Can i make it? Can i be a good teacher?

Demoralised...

1 more week to go...

TGIF~!~! This means 1 more week to go~!! Hahahaa!!

I must admit, this TP1 has help me gain a lot of experience in terms of teaching, time management and many more... I've learnt to avoid trouble by keep unneccessary comments to myself. At least i hoped that i have avoided trouble. :)

Out of the 4 observations remaining, i'm down to 2 more~ This weekend, i'll have to work hard to complete my reflections as well as my lesson plans for next week.

As for unhappiness at work? Nothing much lah~ Quite happy here. Actually, come to think of it, there is one thing... I'm teaching frisbee to P4s and i've been teaching them one set of rules... BUT... because of their inter-class games, i have to change the rules to another set that does not make sense at all... The teacher in charge has his ideals, but i just can't make myself agree with it... He said that tapping the disc down is dangerous and therefore the pupils cannot intercept the disc unless they catch it properly... I dunno lah... Now i'm left with 1 period to teach the new rules before their inter-class games... BEST THING? I DO NOT HAVE THE RULES!!! So how i know how to teach them?? ARRGH~

I was just observing that teacher's class. They are able to play this new rules very well and this does not come in 1 period only. Obviously they have played this version many times, which is an unfair advantage over other class. I feel like i "dui bu chi" my class... if u know what i mean... Hiaz...

How? Tell me how???

Car Siao Liao!!!

Just spent another $40 to tow the car and $40 to fix the problem... Something cropped up in the engine and the car couldn't start at all... I dunno what is the problem but the problem existed for quite some time already... most of the time, the car would feel like its choking and sometimes, the car would not want to start~ But we were still able to drive it around... until yesterday...

Now... After spending a day at the workshop, its okay le... Quite smooth the ride... Next thing to fix is the air con unit... Hopefully the workshop finds the spare parts that we bought and left at their place... Apparently, they said they threw it away... (I really wonder...)

Nik's mom has been chasing us to buy another car and sell this one away... But we really love this car and unless it is beyond repair, i think we will stick to this car...

Money Money Money... We need Money!!

Observations... 1 down, 4 more to go...

My sup came to the school today to observe my lesson... It is quite sad because the class she chose to observe is one of the more notorious case under my care... It is very difficult to teach that class... I really want to say how notorious the class is, challenging authority, disruptive and more... But i cannot divulge too much information in case my blog get stumbled upon and i will get sued... Haha~

But my sup said that the lesson was not too bad lah... she had some questions like why i am not strict enough on them but what i told her... "No use..." Hahahaa! She gave me some great ideas when teaching and i realised that i'm considered to be really lousy in teaching... Need to put more thoughts into my lesson plan!!

As for why 4 more to go? My CT haven observe me yet... So i still have 4 more formal observations... hopefully it will not go as bad as this one... Anyway, this teaching practice is only a pass or fail grade... if you can plan and execute and can manage the class, confirm pass already...

I'm only worried about the 10 week's teaching practice.... that one sure die coz got grades... Hiaz... Ok lah, tired liaoz...

Jiayou ppl~ 2.5 more weeks to go~!

Forgot to Post...

Kelong trip was FUN~!

My aunty and uncle were such good sport~! No complaints about sleeping area, cleaniness, food, temperature of bathing water and gross-ness of baiting! No complaints at all (i think?) Hahahaa!!

Altogether, we caught over 300 fishes and 5 sotongs! those 300 fishes were quite small but still tasty... But we lost many hooks, sinkers and baits... So sad... Not pro enough lah~

Hopefully the nov/dec trip will be more fruitful~!

Fishy Fishy Fishy~!

Behind time as usual...

Die lah~ I've been slacking too much... Super behind time for my reflections le... So far i've only written reflection for 1 day! Still got 7 more days to go!! Just finished my unit plan for 3 levels... Still got 7 PE lesson plans and 5 Math lesson plans for next week... So gonna die already!! Dunno how man... Plus, after conducting the lesson, i still got to do my reflection for them! No template to follow! Super Hiazzzzz.....

Next week onwards, no more naruto liao lorz... Nik's very supportive too! He will pick me up from school and send me there whenever he can... But he ar... always ask me... "You got alot of work meh? What work you've got to do? LP very easy one mah..." He just doesn't understand the amount of work we have to do... Aiyoh...

My mood is even worse whenever i think about the amount of work i will have to do when the semester starts... 6 modules! out of which, NONE is Sports!!! So irritating... WORDS, Projects, Lesson Plans, Tests, Theories... ARRGH~!
