Hello, my name is Joycelyn.
Finally I can feel the new year |

It's been so long since I've felt the cycle of a year coming to an end and the coming birth of the new one.
Ever since I've entered poly, the semester systems made me have Christmas and New Years pass by just like another public holiday.
Now that my system is back to the normal year to year basis, it's more cheery to have Christmas marking the end of the year, and New Years signifying the start of the new one. What the celebrations are partly about, isn't it?
So the class deployment for year 2011 is already out. And I found out that I wasn't allocated to follow up with my classes. In fact, I'm not allocated to take up any fixed class. But more on that later.
I guess I'm feeling rather sad. After all, most of the kids expected me to follow em up.
When I went for my student's bbq party (Yes, this is what my social calendar is like now), all of e kids there (and parents) were just speaking on topics assuming I was taking them next year. The kids were even banking on me becoming their form teacher.
Ah...... I feel so sad. The attachment is already there. And I've only taught them for half a year. Sigh.
So anyways, I approached the VPs to question on the lack of classes being given to me. Apparently it was cos I might be leaving for NIE so I shouldnt be given a fixed class to handle. But the course is like in June/July!
Which means. Day-to-day relief for 6 freaking monthsssss?!?!?!
I hate it. It gives me the lack of purpose for school everyday.
I remember when I first came in and was given day-to day relief. It made me start to question my decision on the route of life that I'm taking. I spent my whole June holiday wrecked on whether I should quit teaching. And that was how bad day-to-day relief affected me.
Of course, that was when I was new. But still! I still dread going for relief classes when they are occasionally given to me.
SUCKS.
Praying for a good solid relief class to take care of. Meaning I'm relying and hoping for those teachers going on maternity leave. Then, just nice! Go for my NIE without leaving any students in the lurch when their actual teachers come back!
Perfect plan.
Now to start gathering the due dates of all the pregnant teachers....
