TGFI

Finally another post to my blog... had major problems with my pc (it kept shutting down & then turning back on again & then repeating the whole darn process... it had a spirit of its own or some sort.. plus I could never reopen those files I saved on Word.. Grrr...) so I couldn't do any blogging the past 2 days. Now that I've gotten my lappy back, I can work more at ease at home.

So.. I made it to the gym on Wednesday & even tho' I've not been to the gym since the start of the sch holidays last yr, I was thankfully not too out of shape.. lol.. 20 mins each on the cycle & ski machine, 10 mins on the row machine & another 10 odd mins with the Universal Gym, so that meant I had a gd workout & survived (^_^) I had to take over new teaching duties on Thursday morning in addition to my afternoon classes so Thursdays will now be longer work days too. Besides that, just got news via my email that my Mondays will be extended too!!! Urgh!!! I'm so stretched out!!! My company's looking to hire new teachers, so whoever is applying, please do so soon to help ease my workload!!! Mondays: 8.30am-12.30pm at Turf & 2pm-6pm at IJ Toa Payoh, Tuesdays: 9.20am-2.05pm at GIIS & 4.45pm-6.15pm at the Centre, Wednesdays: 3pm-4.30pm at the Centre & 5pm-6.30pm: Meeting, Thursdays: 8.45am-10.30am at Turf & 1.35pm-3.35pm at GIIS & Sundays: 9.30am-3pm at the Centre.. Whoa!!! & this is not including my travel time & lesson planning time.. GULP!! I'm really valuing my off-days this yr.. lol

So far classes have been alright.. criers have stopped, there's lots of fun, usual problems at some places (nothing can change this.. blah).. just got a little thrown off teaching the Nursery 1 classes at Turf on Thursday. The children are so different from those I have at the Centre.. they were all (& I mean ALL) over the place (one class had 3 teachers sitting in & a fellow collegue had 5!!) It was unbelieveable.. haha.. & they were all still very very young, had to hold their faces to have them look at me even for 5 secs. My mentor says that classes will take a real while before I can really get anything out.. lol.. Oh dear!!

Hmm.. it was nice sleeping in late today felt totally rested.. & a gd thing tmr can be the same.. hee hee.. I've been keeping to the "Most important to sleep between 11pm-1am" theory during my working days & so far I've been doing as stated. Seems that our body's vital detoxification processes take place during these 2 hrs so if we remain awake during this time, the toxins accumulate in our body, acclelerating aging & eventually causing illness. Maybe that's why I've been falling sick often last yr but it's so hard to sleep by then.. lol.. see, when I'm off I stay awake (just like now.. it's 12.41am) Bleah.. well, I still have about 15 mins left til 1am but it's not like tt's gonna help.. haha.. oh well, looks like I'll age a little more tonight as well =p
