first wk of schhh =)

I never appreciated hc so much till I left. this sounds so cliche. But the truth is, i had never thought i would grow attached to hc; i had only treated hc as 'School', never as 'Home'. 'Home' was always Ny. It was more intimate, it was 亲切。My joy in being back teaching in hc, surrounded by familiarity, proved that those two years were formative after all.

My first day (which i was not paid for) was combined staff meeting. I dressed overly formal because apparently teachers dressed casual for meetings during the holidays. Hc floor is also atrociously unsuited for any form of sharp heels. Despite treading around very carefully, i still almost tripped =( But! i met so many of my college teachers. hallelujah WARMTH. lols. Teachers are such great hypocrites. They behave exactly like students when listening to 6 hr staff meetings, restless and cracking jokes all the time. =) Anyone who thinks teachers are boring should sit into teacher meetings and realise the fun side. After the whole thing, i was drained. And unpaid...

The first official day was also our principal's farewell. so basically i had no lessons. i just had good food, chances to take photographs with the principal and shake his hand etc etc lol. that was monday. Tuesday I took a combined class w ms low for sec 2 with their frighteningly high tech 3D studio max that I have yet to learn. Wedn was staff meeting in which some guy stood up to challenge the new principal till he told him to shut up and sit down or risk being expelled. Thu was my very first independent class with my sec 3s. =) Did small sova exercise in gallery as well as crushed paper exercise. fun fun fun! =) i was the last to lockup since we ended at 6.40. fri was my v screwed up class with sec 2 general art...
