My aunt says I want to teach because of one nice principal.
Ha, maybe that one nice principal made me start gushing about teaching and planning my teaching career. But the impetus to teach probably came from elsewhere. I think I started seriously considering teaching as a career after realising that I actually enjoy making kids to work. muahaha. And seriously, education is quite a worthwhile area to go into.
I wanna teach german, but I dun wanna for the life of me take germanistics!
I wanna teach science, but I dun want another few years of my life to be spent mugging sciency stuff.
I wanna teach english, but I dun really wanna...
haha, heck, I don't even know if I really wanna teach or what I wanna do.
Medicine is still appealing, but as with the sciences...the years of mugging sucks.
I can't really imagine myself working my ass off to earn money for other people.
I wanna do something worthwhile. That means mindlessly earning $ either for other people or for myself is out. Maybe I'd like business as a sideline...but its not really meaningful.
So it still boils down to either Medicine or Education.
Ah well, but who knows, by this time next year I might be inspired to be a skydiver or something. Heck, I'll just see where life and God takes me.
Spent my morning watching a documentary on Italy and its people. They featured people chasing their dreams. To be a professional free-diver, to be the first female motor racing champion, to be a gondalier, to win the palio...etc...
Each of them knew what they wanted to do and set out to achieve it. I'd thought I'd wanted to be a doctor, but I'm beginning to see more options. Teaching has come into the picture. Maybe next year, something else will appear too.
Yes! We're organising a GERMAN DAY!!! Hopefully through this, the MOELC deutscheverein will be revived. Spent about an hour trashing out ideas and finally deciding on a plan. We couldn't find Herr S. So we went down to disturb Frau Heng instead. Haha, poor woman, always so busy. And of course, everytime we go and disturb her, she'll complain that we're disturbing her when she has so much work to do. But then, theres never a time when she doesn't have so much work to do, so then was as good a time as ever. Finally, we let her go back to her work and went up to continue waiting for H.S. to present out plan to him. Oh yes, the teachers went for some staff outing to next door...LOL...the mosque had some harmony cultural event thingie...we saw all the teachers trooping back...HAHAHA, was quite a sight! Well, H.S. finally appeared. Said we had a good plan, and we were to email our proposal to him, and then we'll work on it.
So back home, after having my dinner, I spent half an hour typing the £*£*(*(£(*$£ proposal out in English, before painstakingly spending 1.5 hrs translating it to german. GRRRR!
German Day had better be good!
you know you love me
