tired

short week last week. wed off. fri i didnt go to sch either, just called in sick. needed the extra rest coz falling sick. was good coz i slept (for the first time) more than 8 hours. woke up at 11am. i think my body needed it. my students missed me, possible coz the sub was quite horrible. i left work & instructions, but none was completed accordingly. sigh. keri says she thinks they (this particular pair of twins whom EVERYBODY complains about!) feel a need to teach. to "educate" so to speak. i was quite appalled to learn one of them had sub-ed for me. i never had them. i thought being in the math dept was "safe". i've only seen them subbing for english (most common) and hist. oh wait, i think they subbed for latin before too. anyhows. had to return today to "clear up the mess" they left behind..

long week this week. compared to last week, that is. feeling the toll already. i need to get to bed earlier. i managed to finish grading the quiz the sub gave on my behalf. my intern (student teacher) told me that after she gave out the quiz papers alternating (coz got form A and form B to prevent cheating - looking over at neighbours' papers), she asked the class if anyone was unhappy about theirs and would like to switch papers?!?!?!?!?!? (nothing to say)

physically drained. mentally drained. blow up quite easily these days. not good. next week's thanksgiving. another short week. which is yay. but after that, the next break comes dec. christmas. sigh. am looking fwd to that. wanna travel some place to relax. cant travel out of US tho. coz can re-enter unless get new visa stamp. have already booked my appt at the US embassy back home so when i return in feb, i will be all set. but keng wont. sigh. oh wells.
