Relief teaching...

it all happened so fast everything is still so blur. one moment i was happily sleeping in bed and the next i was in greenview secondary school. i got a call this morning, " hello is this aaron? can u come to school by 7.30am we need u to relief teach for a teacher." now how did i end up relief teaching is quite a blessing, flashback to 2 days ago, i was at ka's place enjoying the new year and the usual topic of "so what u gonna do now or in the near future?" arose while i was having breakfast with ka and his mom. i mentioned a few things i had in mind and teaching was one of my consideration. his mom was quite excited when she heard i wanna teach and immediately told her brother who is a teacher in greenview sec about me wanting to get a relief teaching job. then she got her brother excited and both of them were in a flurry to get me to teach. all this while i was an insignificant entertity, i only said i'm thinking of teaching just thinking only! anyway he got his daughter joanne to sign up with moe for me like immediately, i couldnt even protest. then ka's uncle/aunty's bro/joanne's dad told me ok u start on thursday, you'll be taking over joanne's class and her lessons, she is going back to australia to study.

ok back to present time, when i arrived at greenview, i was told i'm relief teaching math class for this particular teacher who is on mc. they pass me the time table and my jaw dropped, sec 2, sec 4 and sec 5 normal technical class!!! siao liao siao liao... HELLO! i'm like first time relief teaching empahsis on RELIEF! i cant even teach my own sister her sec 4 math u wan me teach a whole class of sec 4 and 5!!! i thought i was gonna die teaching sec 5 but it turns out that the sec 2 NT was the worst!!!! i have no idea why these kids come to school for, nv bring book, nv do homework, they don't even understand how to sit and keep quiet needless say learn math. hmmm i have to stop my colourful description here b4 i get sued for racist comments. thank God i'm only teaching them for today, i'm taking over joanne's class tomorrow and praying praying that they are more well behave. just don't ever let me see those Ms outside or i'll enjoy tearing them from limb to limb. muwahahaha...

so here i thought, wow $65 a day for 5.5h of work is not bad at all, little did i expect the workload joanne dumped on me and i realized i'm also the form teacher for a sec 2 class. HELLO i'm a relief teacher and getting 65 bucks only! emphasis on RELIEF and 65 BUCKS again! i thought i could go home after the last lesson but in the end i end up invigilating the sec 5 for their test and then staying till 4+ to do some lesson planning and stuff. i actually brought home work to mark and i still have to plan for tomorrow's lesson. What the hell did i get myself into... look at the time, i still got so much to do... bahhumba.....
