Second week of school

I guess silence means that the English Language results are none too good for most of you. Anyhow, that is water under the bridge . . . And it cannot mean the end of the world. Look forward! Now's the time to choose very wisely your tertiary educational institution. Hey, new place, new friends and new experiences soon! Excited?

I'm having fun at my new school. The students are largely motivated and for the first time, I'm in an environment with more male students! Haha! Any tips for me? You would be thankful to hear this: second week of school only and my department has already administered 3 diagnostic tests, 1 Information Technology assignment, 1 spelling test, afternoon supplementary and remedial lessons! You can imagine my marking load and the tight deadline means that every night, I do laundy and marking till past midnight? Do you envy my life? Hahahaaa!

Mercifully, my kids are behaving and responding to my new schedules for them in 2009. Brainiac has decided to join his brother in Rugby, so that means that they have one another to tackle CCA after school and thence come home together. One newly initiated Sec 1 chappie surprised me with his maturity at commuting by public transport, although I had to "rescue' him one night when he slept on the bus and missed his stop! The older girls have been wonderful. For 2009, they have shown that they can handle ironing and sewing. Hmmmm . . . now to train them to wash, cook and clean house!

The Significant Other has been egging the boys on about body toning. Hahaaaaa .... something about building 6-packs and attracting girlfrends! He's bought new dumb bells for the boys, and hair gel to share when they go impress chio-gals! Tsk . . tsk....!

So when will your JAE results be made known?

Good luck, people! Another phase of your journey begins. Waste not!
