School Re-opens : Ready or Not?


The two-week holiday has certainly passed rather quickly, with a flurry of activities in between, making it seems unbelievable that tomorrow school will re-open, yet once again.  That's a strange feeling on my part because I always feel that these longs holidays to be, well, long.  I usually cannot wait for school to re-open as I could not stand to count the days that the school holidays would pass.

This time I feel like I still have not had enough of the holidays, perhaps due to the fact that I have used it to the fullest.  Having said that, I feel quite nervous about going to school tomorrow, not unlike a new student who will be entering his first day in secondary school.  I feel like I want another week of holiday!

I shudder in silence as I think about all the duties and tasks waiting in the second-half of the year; with special occasions like the school's Sports Day (albeit a little to late!), a district level activity (at least one that I know of) which the school has been appointed as the host (yet again!), countless exercises and papers to mark ( if only they were MCQ's!), plus all the other menial tasks, that if mentioned, will leave every body not in the know, utterly and totally shocked (or at least they pretend to be!)  Worse of all, I will be susceptible to unsolicited comments and the prying eyes of people who think they know my job better than I do (even though these people are not teachers, sigh!)

I guess, I will have to contend myself with my positive thinking and doing things to the best of my ability!  Best wishes to all those returning to school tomorrow!

After Two Years.....

Can't believe that I have been too busy to write that I have actually left this blog untouched for two long years.  A lot of thing...
