Ok fine. I know it's been really long since I update my blog. So since ppl are always checking, and just for me to keep updated with my life, here goes.

I am going to rant about my job. And it does not mean that I do not love my job, because when I sit and think about it, I do love my job, in this kind of love-hate reationship. Truth be told, I never expected working in the childcare to be THIS tiring. Yes, I feel tired. Very tired. Extremely tired. Perhaps it's because of that my centre is new. A brand new centre which I am the pioneer in the centre. Perhaps because my centre is huge. It is bigger than other childcare centres. Or because my class is on the second floor, and everything else seems to be on the first floor, so you can imagine running up and down those flight of stairs, and there's many stairs I tell you. A few times, I nearly tripped and rolled down the stairs but so far, not yet. Or is it because my centre is the first Eureka centre, and the only one specializing in Language Arts? Maybe also because I was the ONLY teacher for 3 months without any other teacher, so 100% of my attention is needed for 100% of my working time. Or yes, it's the beginning of the year and beginning of curriculum, and so yes, so many admin work to do at the same time. And the fact that I am teh form teacher of K2. K2?!?! Ok, I am like so pessimistic and tell my principal I don't think I can take K2. But she believes I can, so now I just need to believe I can. So the experienced teacher said that K2's curriculum is heavy-load, and just yesterday I realize how much difference it is from other levels, because the teacher (like me?!?!!) has to do up everything else MYSELF while other levels are all provided. Why? Oh why?!!

So yes, it's from all of the above, also plus other points which I do not feel like mentioning here. There's so much work to do, I tried to come early and come back late. I never ever seem to take a rest for my lunch time or ever sleep (which some others do) because there's just so much work to do. I do work at home, I come work on PH just so I could do my work without the children around. I could hardly be creative with my curriculum because I am already so drained out from doing everything else.

It is not easy. Not easy at all. To manage the classroom, the children, the admin work, the curriculum work, everything else. But I love my children. And I know I will make it.

I am not sure if I want to pursue my degree now. I told myself not now, but suddenly now I think I should pursue it now. As an alumni, I will get the discount for my degree in Wheelock, but after speaking with the degree IC, I feel like taking the one from Monash University. It costs $28,000 (not completed yet), so well ya, very good. How do I save $1600 to pay for my monthly fee?!?!?

We'll see how it goes...
