I was so exhausted today. Practically had lessons from 7:30am all the way till 5:30pm. Non-stop! My only free periods were the first 2 of the day and I spent it coaching one of my students who had to be sent home for a high body temperature. This girl has a regular high body temperature and she is not ill. But according to the MOE regulations, she had to be sent home as her temperature was at 37.7 today. She was already sent home yesterday for having a temperature of 37.6. Anyway, I sat down with her in the canteen and went through the maths past-year papers with her before she went home - so that she would lat least have some revision and time with me for questions and all that.

After spending those 2 periods with her, she was sent home and I began going to class for lessons. That was 9am. At 2pm, I was really feeling the exhaustion from standing and speaking for such a long time. I did not have any break - even recess was filled with students who had problems and papers to clear, marks to key in and so on. At 2pm, I told my students that I would see them at 2:15pm and I quickly rushed back to the staffroom to have a quick coffee and 2 slices of bread. Then I went back to the classroom to sit down with a small group of students who wanted to go through revision for the exams. I brought my coffee along with me and managed tro stay awake. It wasn't a bad session - I wasn't feeling so exhausted. I was sitting down with them and we were going through problem after problem for ttheir Emaths exams on Thursday.

When I finally finished with them at 5:30pm, I went back to the staffroom to work. I had to key in all the CA marks for Term 2 into the computer system and I had to get it done by tomorrow since I won't be around.

What a day.....

Oh, what was really nice about the day was that we had breakfast together before he sent me to school! :-)
