BEST. AFTERNOON. EVER!!!!!
Well, almost =P cuz my kids have stopped listening, and I had to leave early for my AM school's gr 6 farewell, which I shall not talk about for now. lol.
But anyway!
To begin with, it was already unimaginable for me to be teaching PHYS ED. It has been a joke with all my friends who've known me for some time. Never been sportive and didn't even take gym since grade 10, let alone doing real sports - the closest would be my playing badminton with friends back in jr high school and watching tennis on TV. If anyone'd asked me one year ago to play a match with kids at school, I would have been laughing my head off and thinking that I was listening to some weird language.
But today, oh man. I'll have to be a VERY lucky person to be back at a school where I feel comfortable enough in front of my kids and peers to do something so crazy. IT WAS AMAZING!!!!! So much fun!!! I was so worried that it wouldn't work out, for my classes were not supposed to be watching the afternoon match; but because of the very flexible staff it worked out perfectly!!!
It was so scary at first but then I think the competitiveness got the better of me =P When I double checked the list of kids I almost fainted - it was like all the kids I've cheered for in GBA and suddenly I have to do a blood bath with them!? - so lucky that half of the other awesome players got to play in the morning cuz if not I'd be pwned so badly! I don't remember much of the actual game - just a lot of running around like a fly, busily doing I don't even know what - so obvious I don't play =P BUT I GOT 1 SHOT!!!!!!!! lol proudest moment of my basically non-existent sports career! hahhaha I'm so proud of myself =D I think there are tons of things I could have done better, but hey, that was my first time playing a match =D And my kids said I did ok!!! lol maybe some of them can teach me how to do it better for next time - if that ever happens!
Oh man, so much fun. So glad that self proclaimed "excellent" and "intelligent" kid of mine nagged me about it last Friday after school =) Thanks kids - you guys gave me the courage to do something as crazy as this - and I know that if I didn't do it, I'll regret it for a really, really long time. Like, a few years. I might have looked so silly but who cares! It was a kind of fun nothing can compare to =)
Yay!

Finally having my lunch at 6:38pm
I'm just glad that my lunch hasn't turned bad yet lol.
School was over at 11:40. Left at 11:44 (record time) and arrived G at about 12. Stayed at GBA for the whole lunch. Went to Ms. B's class and the very nice Ms. N agreed to let me switch my time around so I got to watch more GBA from 12:30 to 1:05!!! (Thanks Ms. N!!!) Back up for the class till 1:45 (and thanks A for being so responsible!!!), and scrambled to get things organized for the next two periods (which were full of silly little kids, as always). Stayed at school till almost 6pm, and thus, finally having time to sit and fill my empty stomach.
Yum.
Ok, that aside. A certain individual asked me before school ended if I'd be playing on Mon. And as he left the room he reminded me once again to bring my shoes and he'll see me there.
Let me explain something. A "no" is a "no" is a "no".
Official reason: I'll be dressed up for my AM school's grad =P
REAL reasons:
1. I can't play basketball to save my life. I can hold the ball and bounce it with my right hand, that's about it.
2. You'd see me either avoiding a ball or holding a ball and standing there laughing like crazy. And very possibly shooting the wrong net. lol
3. I'd much rather sitting there and cheering for the ki... I mean teachers. =D
There would have been a chance for v-ball. But b-ball...??? =P
edited to add: actually.... it might be fun lol. let me think about it. lol!
edited to add, again... now i want to play, but then... i have classes on day 5, grade 1 and 3. what am i supposed to do???? *banging head on wall*

Music Overload!
Brian Got Talent and Glamorgan Got Talent. Both on the same day. I can only hear "cuz baby you're a fire-work!!!" in my head now. And then music making with my grade 6s - i'm a happy music person today =D
Tons of outstanding performances, but one definitely stood out for me. right then and there i got reminded why i'm going to miss this bunch so much.
i wish teachers would do something for the kids as well.
that's another day that i'm going to treasure. thank you boys and girls.

=(
Gosh I was so mean to one of the kids today. I bet that kid didn't even know why I was yelling at him. That keeps me pretty upset the whole day.
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't expecting too much. Everyone should know how to walk safely on the street - that's covered in grade 1 health! But I must have forgotten a few things:
1. Field trips are exciting. I was super hyped to be able to go bowling today, having not had a trip in the past TWO years - getting to actual bowl would be awesome-er but I love watching the bunch having fun all the same - and for the kids it must have been over the top.
2. Kids WILL misbehave. It's our job to correct or remind, not to get upset. This is whe i fell short. I, for one, seldom bring pen and papers to workshops, and I feel embarrassed enough myself and don't need being yelled at.
3. Kids often need to learn from experiences. But then, by the time something happens... Wouldn't that be too late?
I think it's the whole deal about worrying how the kids will become as the grow up and the letting go at end of yr, etc etc. There's so little time left and so much I'd like to tell the kids, things I wish I'd known when I was their age, things I wish someone had told me - go explore your options! Make good friends! Make good decisions! Marks are not as important who you are and what skills you have with you! Pick a career you like, not a career that you think will earn you big bucks! Don't injure yourself cuz some injuries will stay with you for the rest of your life! Stay out of trouble! Ya da ya da ya.
So much to pass on. So little time. And so little patience.
I need someone to reassure me that the kids will be fine.
