… this little blue choo choo is running out of steam.

I can’t quite decipher why I’ve been consistently falling sick over and over again ever since I started teaching full load. Now I’m down with a terrible cough. Worst part of of having this cough is, I can’t sleep properly because I’ll wake up at 2 or 3 am and cough non-stop.

The 3 day special programme was interesting but draining. Monday, sexuality education programme. It’s not a norm for teachers who are still single to be deployed to teach about sexuality, but somehow I was down to teach sexuality for both days. Mild topic, just PDA. I was lucky to have had a co-teacher who was very sharp when it came to discipline and willing to accept my ideas. If we didn’t brainstorm on activities to compensate for the lack of resources on the topic, I cannot imagine what it would be like if I had to talk non-stop for an hour and a half for every session.

Tuesday, one session of the sexuality programme and oral exam for the 4N & 4NT. Okay, not too bad… but still tiring because it’s one after another.

Wednesday, beach-cleaning at ECP with 2/5.  Fun, but tiring because of the very hot sun. Ate at Mc, because the activity ended a little early.

…

I’m not complaining, but I am quite tired. I haven’t had time to rest since what seemed like forever. There was PBP, then there was the engagement, then the whole 1 week holiday was spent on our Malay dancers who will be going for SYF the following Tuesday. Ouh, and little miscellaneous things preparing gifts for the O’level workshop and podcasting for Commendation Day.

Looking on the bright side, at least I’m not doing things alone. So far, there has always been someone around to do all the “running” with… and I’ll probably have quite a bit to write in my EPMS, which is a good thing.  Nonetheless, it STILL has still been very tiring.

Ouh well, like a fellow teacher once told me, “Welcome to the Stress Express!”

How apt.

Let’s keep on running.
