crash

Okay, its all done and dusted. Yesterday was my final day, cos the guy fell sick (after escaping his camp). Today during tuition, i discovered to my horror, that the question that I amended during the test was wrong.. meaning i changed an incorrect question to an incorrect question. I can picture him complaining to his colleagues, saying it was a gd thing he got in time, and not a moment too soon.

I guess I cant teach students who dont want to learn... to put it nicely, I am too nice; to say it as it is, I wouldnt be alive if I was living like 500 years ago. Either I have to find some dominatrix to be my sifu, or I can resign myself to mass tuition. I was reading the school newsletter a few days ago, and the VP said, u need to have the passion to teach, or else u wont last long. I couldnt agree more.

Anyway I was already feeling pretty low about this teaching thing, quite disappointed with myself. To add to the festivity, Zoelyn decided to scold me when i called (aft being redirected twice) for help, I am still trying to figure out why. I was so stunned I couldnt reply for a while.. sigh.

Well to raise my battered self-esteem, I decided to take a jog by the sea-side to get high on endorphins. It had worked okay last week, when I managed to overtake an endless stream of elderly women, making me feel like I was the fastest person alive. Initially it was okay, one, two, three, then two... I had made the mistake of overtaking someone who was running for the same reason as me! Initally I could keep pace with him, but sadly, some other idiot overtook both of us, and the guy i was chasing went after him. Thats when i started to pretend I was just here to enjoy the sea breeze, and wasnt here to run at all.
