So much for looking fwd to your own primary school trail.

But it feels damn good when the meeting time in school is at 7.20am and you can leave your house at 7.15am :D :D :D

I was partner-less today. Took class 3 Caring. About 20 pupils; by right. And some jokers who didnt pay for the trail turned up :s So what to do, the teacher had to bring them along right. But they didn't get any booklet or whatever. They just added to the crowd. So in the end I was like bringing around 26 pupils, I think.

I was assigned the weakest class. Had to help them for every single thing. They can't spell basic words such as "our" and "they". Don't know how to add 9 + 9 (with fingers provided mind you) and they were little monkey's that couldn't sit still.

This was what I had to write to try to explain to them in hope of getting them to understand the questions.

And despite all the diagrams, I had to repeat myself like 5 times or more until they understand (I think).

An example would be: 1 scoop of ice-cream costs $4.50. I want to buy 3 scoops. How much will it cost?

After drawing and explaining over and over again, the students could tell me "teacher, puls or minus?" or "is the answer 3?" -.-

I was about to lose it several times but in the end

I KEPT MY COOL.

And my accompanying teacher was damn nice la, he bought me a cup of iced milo from LJS!

Yes yes, so much for today's trail. And we didn't have to follow the school back today ):

I WANTED TO GO BACK LA! CANTEEN FOOD!!!!

Oh, and 1 of the teacher's there could still tell me, "you graduated in 2000 right?" :D :D

And I finally bought my pair of shoes to wear for trails already! I can return the pair to Vic which I BORROWED for like more than 1 year :P

Briefing at ________ School for next Monday's trail. And I heard a classic conversation.

Girl A: Omg, you're like the luckiest girl here. You have a chauffer.
Girl B: BUT I WALKED HOME YESTERDAY OKAY.


GUESS GUESS GUESS THE SCHOOL!! :D :D
