but I do not know who and where you are........... <

You can call me Noi! This blog consists of my thoughts. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! Like the charcoal, hot pressure and extreme heat must be present in order to create a Diamond. I am in the exact same process.

Laughing at the world / Monday, July 09, 2007 @ 9:30 PM
I will laugh at the world.
I will always remain as a child, for only as a child I am given the ability to look up to others; and as long as I look up to another I will never grow too long for my cot.
I truly did not realise how long I have been missing writing here. It is not that I do not have the time, it is just that it clashes with all the other things of higher priority that I need to do from my ongoing long list of to dos. However, I also realised that I have not been channelling the right vibes out, and I have also not been able to express myself that well, thus here I am today.
Where shall I start? There are so many things happening around me that I really do not know how to put it into a short and simple blog entry. Let me start with the in service training. I am way behind on my reflections. I have not done any for the last week and come tomorrow, I will have one more to do. I really hate the fact that I do not have my own computer- at home and at work. It just becomes this huge barrier that prevents me from finishing my work on time. However I shall not use that as an excuse. I really cannot function when I am behind schedules and unorganized! It is so unsettling.
Looking at what I will be doing this week, I do not think I will be left with that much time either. I am behind on lesson plans, some of my materials are with the library, I have not done any diagnostic summaries, I have 3 more boys to see for informal assessments, the list can go on and on.
The GOOD news is, I have a room!! Yay! Ok, not really a room but the VP said that this arrangement will be until the end of the year, which is pretty reasonable for me. This shall not stop me from setting up the room so that I can make them feel guilty when they want to chase me out of the room. My only concern is, the room is so huge, it can fit in more than 20 people. The best part is, it is air conditioned and it has the river view which faces the JC, so I really like this room! So now, it means that I have to start removing the tables and chairs and get the right types of furnitures in. Setting up a classroom will take some time and I foresee myself not resting until this is done. Any help is welcome!
I know I have been pretty bummed about not having a room all this time, it makes me feel so disoriented. Now that I do have a room, it is way better that I expected and I realised that all good things are worth the wait. I just needed that little faith to keep going.
You do too when you think that all things are just not going your way. Remember that when things do not go according to plan, God always has a plan.
Even though I do not have a school that is so resistant, I do have challenges dealing with some teachers, one that I need to communicate the most. I remembered Lisa shared a story about her conversation with her son. It was inspiring. Life will no longer be difficult only when your hearbeat is a straight line. That also signifies the end of life.
In life, there will be ups and downs and there is no point fighting against it. It will consume you and your energy. Accept it. Laugh at it. Laugh at the world and you will be the happier person that you have always wanted to be.
Focus. I need to do so many things in this little time, if only I can cut out all the time wasted doing nothing like watching tv and moaning about the pain in my feet.
Anyway.
Last week , while collecting my certificate from NIE, we had the opportunity to speak to our favourite Thana and Levan. Dr Levan is such a sweet guy, a big inspiration to me that I will have no regrets travelling all the way to NIE to hear him speak. I never thought that a teacher can impact someone this much but this is a reality and I am glad to be in the teaching profession. What makes it all so much more special is that I am blessed to be teaching the specials kids, talented and smart but yet undiscovered.
