Today is a good day to blog because it’s Teacher’s Day! WOOT! This marks my second teacher’s day and I couldn’t have been happier doing what I’m doing now Thing are going fine in school, not absolutely great but I’m doing slightly better than just surviving. I was marking my students papers and very very [...]

You know I have this really weak and challenging class and I dread it so much whenever I have them the next day. What I did not realize is that this class, this awful gut-wrenching bloody-tears-inducing class is the main reason why I work so much harder each day. For my other classes, I can [...]

The other day for April Fools’ Day, I thought I’d trick my kids a little but this trick became quite a lesson-worthy moment! I told my kids two lies today.

Last year, I used to come back to this village the day before school since it takes 2 hours to drive here and driving 140km of rural roads can be really tiring. But I used to dread coming back so much that I started coming back in the morning instead. WHICH MEANS! I wake up [...]

So….I just finished Day 2 of Year 2..and I have to say that it didn’t go as well as I’d hoped for it to be. Ah what the hell, it was terrible!!!! T_____T *bawls eyes out *wipes mucous all over failed lesson plans To be honest, my heart did drop when I found out that [...]

OMG I cannot believe how nervous I am feeling about tomorrow! Tomorrow is the first day of school and signifies the start of my 2nd year as a teacher! Incredibly excited about meeting my students again, and getting new students too, but I can’t help dreading for the day to come. I feel like I’m [...]
