I got an offer for a HOD position. I have 2 problems though. First, it's for HOD English and everyone knows that I only taught English for half a year before I became a full-fledged Humanities teacher. That might pose a problem. Second, it's a school in Jurong. I know, JURONG! I stay in Yishun and I don't drive so the journey will kill me. But the P told me to think about it and after all Jurong and Yishun isn't that far away. I'm like...Hmm...Yeah, if you drive. Not it you take the train. I'll have to seriously think about it.

My stupid school still hasn't gotten back to me. So I'm going to the school this Fri for Speech Day and just ask the P and VP straight up. If they can't give me a definitive answer, then screw itlah. I'm not going to waste my time and wait around.

I'm thinking of applying to a JC to teach. I don't know, something different. I mean, I've tried teaching at a neighbourhood school where I've taught the tail end students as well as the better ones so maybe it's time for me to expand my teaching scope. Am thinking of applying to Innova JC, Yishun JC or Millenia Institute. Try and teach 'A' level syllabus. Probably more challenging in terms of content and student capacity. Will be quite exciting to lecture and conduct lessons tutorial style and not having to push the students so hard. We'll see after my meeting with my P and VP.

Maya's back from her trip and she has been telling me stories about her trip over email and her blog. Can't wait to meet up with her to see all her pictures. In the meantime, 2 more days and it's the weekend. Thank goodness for that.

WOW! Offer for HOD! Shd consider it. :)

But at the same time... If I were in your position... I'd rather go for the JC route. Honestly. Maybe bec they tend to be more mature.

I'll have to seriously think about it. Am tempted to take the JC route too. Not too sure if leadership path is the best for me. I'm so not a leaderlah.
