Post-Obs..
changed my song, but don't exactly have the time to go look for the lyrics and transfer them here or something.. knowing my compulsive need for tidiness, I'd probably spend another half an hour trying to make sure that everything is in line before I even publish it.. so well, to spare myself the agony, I shall not do that first..
alritez.. observation went fairly well I must say, even though my video didn't work becoz I stupidly put the link up on my PPT presentation but conveniently deleted the video which I had stored in another folder.. quite dumb.. luckily that wasn't too important a segment.. oh, thanks to S14 for being cooperative, though I knew that you guys would be.. there's a reason why I chose your class to be observed you know.. so well..
still crazily marking like mad, but shan't complain about that.. we are paid to mark anyway.. oh.. remembered something my HOD said.. something to the effect that I seem so much more relaxed and at ease in front of my students than with my dept colleagues.. I suggested that I open up slowly to people and therefore don't talk much to colleagues, yet in front of a class, I have no choice but to speak, and therefore, I feel at ease more quickly.. but I have no idea at all.. anyone wants to confirm that for me?
still can recall rather hazily the first time I stood in front of a class of 40 and started on my first lesson during my contract days.. it wasn't even a proper lesson.. my CT had this urgent phone call she had to attend to and suddenly left the class to me.. if I hyperventilate, I would have hyperventilated there and then.. but I managed somehow.. what struck me was that I became quickly at ease with the students, even before I talked much to my colleagues.. and that happened again during prac.. my point is.. I don't know.. haha.. lost my topic sentence..
whatever it is, exam period is coming, so for those who are having prelims, 'O's, promos, good luck for the papers.. for those who are marking these papers, even better luck, for I know understand how wonderful it was to just study for the papers instead of poring through tonnes of *@#&^% trying desperately to hunt for marks.. just joking.. "the sky is not falling, but the roof over our head is collasping"..
