'induction' induced jitterswent down to pl today today for the induction
and to meet the teacher who i am taking over
-2 pm-
arrived at pl
signed in at the guard house, got a visitor(?) pass
bumped into an ex teacher while walking to the staff room
met the very pregnant mrs tee who i will be relief-ing
discussed the classes, lessons and other what-nots
workload is not too bad i must say
-230 pm-
followed mrs koh to the conference room
met the other people in the same shoes as me
some[most] were nie trainees though
introductions were done
long speechs/talks by the 'higher ups'
basically about school culture, expectations of us etc
well..teaching is not as glamourous as it seems
-430 pm-
school tour of some sorts
compared to the original building, this school is HUGE
and very confusing [individual buildings all over]
o well..have to get used to it
today formally signalled the start of my 2nd and in a sense, long awaited job. will go into the serious/pensive stuff in the next entry i think. dun really want to mix genres lah:) till then, it has been an exhuasting yet lovely time of shopping[just ask my friends] and painful money spending. sigh..
