Hello from my personal (and dusty) corner of Fengshan Primary; where the teachers are the friendliest and most helpful people in Singapore, the principal is dedicated to inspiring and the air-conditioning is set to 'Arctic' (as one might infer from the title of this post).
I never expected to have fun on practicum. Or actually want to do work. BRB I have to go eat crow.
I find it refreshing and surprisingly less tiring to be doing work (reflections, lesson plans, eating/planning when to sneak a lunch break) than to be sitting around like a sack of potatoes watching shows on a LAN connection that's slower than a snail going backwards. I feel useful. I like making a difference. Maybe I'm doing something right after all.
On a more frivolous note, I like my current degree of tan and I hold a grudge against practicum for taking away time that I could have spent in the sun. In another country, no less. DANG IT TO HECK. (I have also become more family-friendly in terms of swearing. Gotta watch my mouth around those little bastards)
Also. When the H-E-double hockey sticks are we going to get our stipend? How am I going to survive on only $400 a month? #firstworldproblems #Idon'treallymeanthisbutIstillwannaknowwhenourmoneyiscoming
