so much for a bummer summer
yes, i realise i wrote in the last post that i plan to nua around. well, it obviously didn't happen. in fact, i'm at work now, just on my lunch break, got to get back to the arab-israeli conflict real soon. since last week, i've been at chinese international school, relief teaching for a month. it's english and history for me, so i've been pretty much pulling out my old secondary school and jc notes haha. well, i must say it's been fun. the students are thoroughly amused that this young twenty-something is teaching them. a vast change from their previous teacher, who's a guy married with kids haha. especially the grade 11's (that's jc one in local lingo), since there are a few of them that are actually born in 88 as well. one guy's even a month older than me =/ and they're shocked that i'm already done with my second year of university. time goes by a little slowly for them, i feel, and i hope that they'll be able to go faster. means i plan to finish the arab-israeli conflict by the time i leave, at least up till 1973, which i probably will accomplish, since they have 5 periods of history A WEEK, mind you. either way, it means i won't have much of a break before my real internship starts, so that's going to be a toughie. and i'm super bogged down with quill and amazing race now, so it's almost as good as berserk time. i realise, every summer, i tell myself that i'll have an easy one, take a break, nua my way around the next few weeks. i always end up doing something / a little too much. oh well, lifestyle, as i would tell my english classes. alright i'm somehow pretty sleepy, after lunch syndrome, and i have to prepare for my last class of the day hehhhhh. later (: PS: josh - relinked you.
keep my heart upon Your altar.
Give me strength to cross this water,
keep my feet don't let me falter.
