I haven't blogged in such a loooong time! Because I thought I had absolutely nothing to blog about... But when I think more about it, I actually have quite a lot to say!
The first thing would be about my my 4-day relief teaching job at IJ Kellock. I found it really enjoyable being a teacher. I love to interact with the students, and seeing their excitement at having a new teacher was very heartening. I don't know if it was because I was teaching at my old primary school, but I felt very welcome and at home not only because of the other teachers, but also because of my students. They were very well-behaved and didn't treat me like an outsider. I taught a p5 and p6 class throughout the 4 days and on the last day I took on a p2 class. The p2s were much more difficult to handle than the other classes I took because they didn't listen to me and it was extremely difficult to get their attention, but somehow I managed hahaha. If given the opportunity, I would definitely go back to teach again! But I'm not sure that teaching for the rest of my life appeals to me though... sometimes it can be draining and there is the constant nagging worry that you aren't a good teacher and that all your students secretly hate you haha.
Ooh and I also went to the Magnum popup store with Tiff and Grace :D You can customise your own magnum for $7. You get to pick 3 toppings, the chocolate coating (dark, milk or white) and the chocolate drizzle. It was super delicious because I love chocolate the chocolate coating was really thick :P We also ordered a tiramisu dessert, but it wasn't as nice as the customised magnum imo, and quite pricey too.
I also went for the NTU sociology interview and written test. It was horrible! I totally had no clue what I was writing. And during the interview, the interviewer asked what current affairs had caught my attention, and I PANICKED because I haven't read the newspapers in a looooong time. So I just talked about the MH370 -_- But in the end miraculously I got offered a place in NTU.... which I probably won't accept because for some reason I'm more inclined to NUS (which also accepted me into FASS). Sigh but I didn't get the MOHH scholarship :(( So I rejected Nanyang poly because my parents are dead set against me going to poly. I also finally applied to Monash. But then I realised that there will be an IDP Australia uni fair on 3 May and they waive the application fee for you!!!! So I effectively just wasted AUD$100 of my dad's money :'(
Anyway, until next time, :)
