School has started, and Im already exhausted and it's only the first week of school. I can feel myself losing my voice and Im getting chest pains. Think it's the sheer amount of number of periods that I have. I basically have school from 745am till 430pm almost everyday and it's full-on lessons. I take all the graduating classes hence the heavy timetable. I try to remain upbeat about it though and one of my colleagues asked me, 'How do you still smile amidst the crazy timetable?' My response to that is , 'What choice do I have? It's either I get grumpy and vent it on my kids and don't teach properly, or I take it in my stride and do the best that I can.' And if you know me, I usually just smile and do it. And I always end up fine. :)

I foresee many long days ahead, with attempts to exercise and have a semblance of a life. I just hope I dont get sick the way I did in the first term. That was terrible.

In the meantime, I uploaded pictures which I took over the course of the 3 mths. Not much cos I didnt bother taking much, even when I was on my trip in June. But here they are. Not much energy to blog so this will suffice for now.

Enjoy the weekend. I know I am going to languish in doing nothing. :)
