it's TGIF!! Woots, am over with the first week at work in school. Gosh, this week has been really really hectic, with all the new adjustments and pile of work to do. Started off with a slack day on Monday, with the kids all being so angelic and well-behaved! Great way for the new colleague, teacher P to settle in. Kept warning him though, that the kids are ususally not that hmmm.. "angelic". Haha, guess he got to see it for himself by the second day, when Sebby started to act up! He seems to be settling in though, and I think having that experience really shows. He caught on really fast about the kids, and knows what he has to do. Still miss the rapport with teacher R though, there are times when I would think: "teacher R would have done this instead". Hahah, despite being the only male teacher in our class, teacher R was really the most soft-spoken amongst us 3. We always joked that teacher J and I were like the "monsters", lollll. JOKING OF COURSE, i love my kids loadssss okie! :)

Received a compliment from teacher P today, that really brightened up my day! He said that if I were to continue in SPED teaching, i have the makings of a good teacher. I hope he meant what he says, cos I realised after he said that how much that meant to me! Ever since I started on this job, I'm used to being the inexperienced one, the one who has to be taught what to do and what not to. I always feel like I am not performing well enough yet, that there are still many things that I gotta learn and do. It felt good to receive a compliment about my job, makes me feel more confident about what I'm doing. Of course he doesn't mean that I'm doing well yet, it's just that I'm on the right track. And coming from someone with experience, makes the compliment more valuable! Hahah I realise how a simple positive statement from others, no matter how much the person means it, can be a motivation. Shall start complimenting others more, especially my students, give them more confidence!!! :)) hahah!

To be honest, I think I really learn much more from my current teacher, then the one who was leading me previously. Both are good teachers definitely, but I guess with different aims and goals in their work. Life was good with Sheila, thinking back I think she really took quite good care of me, and not expecting too much. With teacher J, the going gets tough sometimes, but I learn alot more. So that is why they say, nothing is perfect in this world. Hahah oh i wish! Shall end abruptly here, cos my lappy is running out of batt, and I'm too lazy to get the charger. Time for bed alr anw. Goodnight world! :)
