I'm on MC today. Have been ill for the past week and have not fully recovered.

I don't respect No.1 anymore. I don't see how I can continue working in this place if I don't respect No.1. I suppose I could survive as long as I have minimum contact or dealings with him. My primary job is still to teach and I think I will do just that and focus on my students. It will be difficult becuase it will be inevitable to have to work with him or do what he wants me to do because he is No.1. We'll see how it goes.

There seems to be alot that I need to do for HFC. I will do it and I will not allow HFC to digress. Anne and Ian keeps saying that we're very different from other volunteers. Honestly, I don't really SEE the difference. Maybe I do not work with other volunteers and I do not know what other volunteers for AWWA or for other associations really do, but according to Anne, we're special cos we're very organized. Ian said that we're the kind who will ask "Why so little to do" when given a task and that makes us different from the rest. I think the new comers into TeachMe ought to realise this. We're not ordinary. I mean, we're more than just the attached volunteer to the child who will go through the entire camp with the child as if we're a participant too. We're so much more. Excuse me, but we were the ones who started this whole idea of the camp! Without HFC today, the TeachMe kids won't even have the opportunity of ever having an outdoor camp experience!

HFC is special. I do not know how I can bring up the number of new volunteers in future, but we'll see how things go.

The retreat was a success. Tired as I was and as we all were, it was a success. He did alot for this retreat too. Had it not been for him, I would have overslept on Sunday. Had it not been for his reminders on time, the whole thing would have dragged on and on. He did alot of planning, purchasing and emailing to the rest. Dear, thanks. I don't think I could have pulled it off without you or without your support.
