Vexed...
Eight days of courses....over at long last. Phew. In some ways those things can prove more tiring than normal teaching days.
Will be teaching Sec 3 and 4 next year. How terribly exciting (No believe me, i'm not being sarcastic here:P). The most daunting task has gotta be the 'O'-Level SPA thingy. The memory of how I was hanging desperately on to the end of my tether during the last half of this year is coming back to haunt me. And things can only get more intense...
Several people have been asking me whether I like teaching. I just dun haf a ready answer for that. Becoz I honestly can't say yes, or no. I suppose it's the whole experience of working life that's getting to me. Studying offered a lot more freedom (but I really really dun like exams), and I could always plop onto my snooze chamber anytime I didn't feel like studying. And now it's like I gotta just keep doing things that I dun really wish to do, simply coz it's part of the job. And the work can really pile up at one shot. The perfectionist streak in me is protesting heavily...learnt during the FCGE that there is a certain category of students who need a lot of time to do tasks so as to achieve those high standards that they set for themselves. Think I'm part of that category. Does this call for a fundamental shift in my habits?

Anywayz, am feeling vexed now coz...
a) my mom keeps disturbing me after rudely waking me up from my beauty evening nap
b) I dun wish to start doing work but I know I need to
c) my table is messy
d) jus general unhappiness with myself
Grrrrr!!!
But thankfully I still have this space as therapy..think I'm best at expressing myself in writing. Am getting increasingly thoughtful and reflective about stuff in life. Coming to realise certain things about myself, like how I probably haf high intrapersonal intelligence. To continue with Gardner's model, I should also score the following...
-Linguistic intelligence: High
-Logical-mathematical: Moderate
-Musical: I'm still in the process of developing it
-Bodily-kinesthetic: Low
-Spatial: Very low, almost non-existent
-Interpersonal: Moderate
-Naturalistic: Can never really figure out what this means.
One of my greatest takeaways from that course with the GE branch must be that a sense of humour is actually an indicator of intelligence. Meaning people with a good sense of humour (note, good does not include "lame" or "corny") should possess relatively high IQ. Cool...coz I think I'm quite funny...=D
