Just being me.

sense of accomplishment

it has been a tiring week....no less. though we are "simply" marking scripts after scripts, our brain juices are used up pretty quickly because of the nature of marking. you have to make sure and be extra careful that correct marks are awarded, and to ensure fairness in your marking at all times. discernment and fairness being keywords here. but thankfully my ASM was no other than mr salim, my ex-teacher from cz....he's the cool jack. he's always cool as cucumber, never panics and definitely not a gan-cheong spider. really admire him for that. also, the markers at my table were all very easy to get along with, very fun and crazy bunch. nice to work with. there was never a dull moment. of course, needless to say, i was the youngest of the lot and they could so easily see through that. i mean is the word "young" written all over my face?? haha.... so yup. ASM gave us each a box of biscuits from cocoa trees, and the chief marker came to personally thank us for our hard work. that was quite unexpected cos my fellow markers said that it hasn't happened before. glad to know we are appreciated. :) nice to work under males....really. :P

the csm mentioned something about why the psle marking cannot be outsourced and i totally agree with him. i mean how on earth should marking be outsourced when it can be done by the teachers themselves? though it is time-consuming, but i think it's a necessary thing that comes with the job.

so yeah, i feel accomplished not only because of the 780 odd scripts i've marked, also because i assembled a shower curtain rod today. had to get the rod, curtain and curtain rings from ikea. altogether, they cost less than 20 bucks. i was quite impressed and proud of myself...haha. now i don't have to carry and move the bloody glass door from side to side everytime i wanna shower.

but this also means that school will resume in about 60 hours' time and it will be chiong all the way to the finish line. gotta write remarks for the class! eeks...
