I wasted 2 slices of bread because silly me in my groggy and sleepy state at 5+am, placed the Ramily Fish Patty, lettuce and cucumber between 2 slices of buttered bread and then used the pooh mould to cut it.=_= Only when I couldn't press down the mould further then it occurred to me that I should have moulded the bread WITHOUT the sandwich! This pooh faced bread is for Clement.
When I reached school at 7.30am, I started to eat my pork floss bread roll and hash brown while marking compositions from yesterday's the mock exam.
Then I had lessons at 9-10am, followed by a meeting with my HOD till 12noon, and I needed to zoom off to another class from 12-1.30pm. When I ended my class at 1.45pm and went back to the staff room to eat my vegetables, I received a phone call from 2 students who graduated 5 years ago! They came to visit me in college. I was happy to see them but I was in a dilemma because I needed my break desperately. In the end, I chatted with them while eating my tasteless bento for 15mins and I needed to go for staff contact time. By 3.45pm when the contact time ended, I was having neck and backache. I was supposed to go for another meeting for another project but I told the chairman that I needed to be excused as I was about to die from fatigue. Eddie was so kind, as usual, to let me rest. It was raining cats and dogs but Violet, who was having a bad day too, and I, still took bus to Lot 1 for Sakae Sushi to destress. We had a 45mins dinner and rushed back to college at 5pm for our night study program duty. I continued marking until Clement and Jaimie came to college at 8.30pm. My duty was supposed to end at 9pm but Jaimie was running a high fever of 39.4 deg. I asked Violet to help me cover my duty so that I could bring Jaimie home. After feeding Jaimie her medicine, doing the laundry, taking my shower, I continued to mark the compositions till 10.45pm. Then I logged on my lappy to blog.
So, in case any of your friends made comments like "teachers work half a day" or "teachers only teach for ___hours a week", please help me to enlighten them.
Thanks in advance.
