Term 2 Week 6

it's exactly 2 weeks to the Mid-Year Geography paper. i only have 7 days of lessons left to do everything. yes, everything. the result of going on 2 days MC meant last week was a consecutive 3-day work-week to accomplish a normal 5-day workload. one extra lesson after another. one consultation after another. it's almost the same this week. later today remedial with one class. followed by consultation with 3 different groups of students. and then i got to finish setting the whole 100-mark NA Geog paper by today. i must. and tomorrow i must finish the NT Social Studies paper. thank God that i'm the type that functions better under extreme tight deadlines.

hectic. amidst the buzz, the uncertainty, with blurred glasses but joy in my heart, i shall finish this journey.

i always felt that birthdays are cliches, largely commercial affairs. so i never make a deal out of May 26. yet this year i await its arrival. turning 20 has no meaning to me at all. i neither look nor feel 20. yet this year i await May 26.
for it signals something better than my birthday.

4 more weeks. to the end. it has begun.


for them, i will finish this race with joy in my heart.
