~May Your Light Shine :D~

if ur have realised most or all of my posts are near midnight, im really an owl. so when a school called my house at 730am, almost everyone at home woke up, and i was still half asleep when i agreed to go to a school in an hour's time. although i wasn't really prepared for a relief teaching assignment (just when i got axed), im real glad my friend, felicia, remembered me when the school she is teaching at needed a relief teacher.

i had 7 periods in a row, from 830 to 1215, without a break. since when were home economics lessons 3 periods at a go? had 2 classes of sec 1 home econs, and i had to answer questions like what does perishable mean and what is vitamin E used for? when i couldn't come up with an answer, they were asking if i the teacher didn't know, how am i to expect them to know the answer. some were asking how come they were not doing needlework. hmm... good question, problem is im no more skilled than they are when it comes to that subject...

my last period was a sec4 class for chem. with everyone bigger sized than me, it was very difficult to keep the class quiet or make them do their work. when i arrived most were deep in conversation, and later on, 2 guys were playing catch. i tried using reasoning but it din work, the class just got noisier so i used the most intimidating thing i had - my loud voice. however it din really help much either. thankfully the lesson was only 35 mins long, any longer i would probably have lost my voice and patience as well.
