Act 7, Scene 7: I'll paint it black and take it back.

First day of TA.

Woke up early at 6. Told my brain to start itself up..no FORCED it to. Was all ready by 640. Thought I could walk slowly and reach about 7. Couldn't find socks. Panicked. Left house at 655. School starts at 710. Die...

Was late by a couple of minutes. I'm glad I worked out during the holidays. Because if I had let myself be sedentary throughout, I think I might have reached later. I walked, by the way.

Tough day. School is vastly different from what I was used to. But manageable. Heat was getting to me and I was wet and sticky throughout the day. Must really get accustomed to it soon. Went back lethargic and all.

Napped for awhile. About 45 minutes. Woke up. Showered, change of clothes. Off to tuition. Was really dreading it because I felt so freaking spent. I hadn't eaten anything the whole day. Gave myself the illusion I had by chewing gum from 7am to 3 in the afternoon. Almost got lock-jaw. Ate a sandwich and grabbed Macs on the way.

Reached early, about 635. Sat down and talked to Herlina and the HT. Was ok. She seemed really friendly. Then Hidayah, my classmate from DCM came. First time ever I talked to her. Haha. She seemed really fierce in class. But turns out she is a nice girl. *hinthint* Hahaha...

So anyway, tuition was fabulous. Kids were quiet at first but they warmed up after awhile. I just hope they wont step all over me but I doubt it. I still have control. Haha. But it really made me think about how much I missed teaching a class instead of one kid. And how much it felt like my calling. So then I got optimistic about everything.

Anyway my timetable's kinda advantageous. I start at 10 in the morning and end at 330 in the afternoon. So it's really helpful especially after a night of tuition. So I'm really glad things worked out this way. Alhamdulillah.

So anyway, too tired now. Will blog more at the end of the week I guess. More stories then. More rest too. =)
