AR14!
my first tutorial lessons today! haha i got quite nervous just before my first tutorial began, but thankfully everything went fine. now i just need to start remembering names and faces :D which definitely isnt going to be easy. over 100 faces to remember. haha feeling really tired now, after having 3 tutorial lessons today. was really very tired at the end of it all, especially having 2 tut lessons back to back.
met loads of batchmates, including
rongen and
chengchai. it was certainly a pleasant surprise, but sadly none of them were relief teaching in the math department together with me.
chengchai and i shared our semi-disastrous first lesson experiences just before we left the staff room.
went home and watched amazing race! haha that was something that i was looking forward to at the end of the day. there was this task which the teams had to complete, where they had to climb up a hill, and then bring 200 pounds of cheese down a hill. at some point in time, several contestants dropped their cheese and it just rolled all over the place, which was quite amusing.
it was also quite pitiful to watch several contestants struggle with that task. there was steve and linda, an old couple, and steve was soooo mean to linda, and kept forcing her to push on when she was clearly past her limits. she even collapsed on her way up the hill, yet steve just kept scolding her. i felt it was really pitiful for linda to continue on to the next leg of the race, as she is definitely not physically up to the mark, and is really exhausted already. haha. i would guess that linda will be the next to be eliminated.
was impressed by the performance of Margie & Luke. Luke is deaf, but he still joined the race as he wanted to show that hearing impaired people can also do exactly what normal people can do. the spirit is certainly commendable, and despite being handicapped in some tasks, they were able to reach the finish line first today! really proud of the duo :D
