Mark, mark, mark...

Marking n marking n more marking...sigh..it's CA week this week..amy's marking my class papers for EL n christina's marking theirs for maths..coincidentally they're some of the better friends i have in the staff room :) honestly, i thought there wouldn't really be anyone i could really get along with here, but God is faithful to provide us with our needs, n He knew i wanted someone who wasn't the selfish n competitive type that i could talk to in the staff room n He did provide :)

Sometimes i can be quite wary of people..especially those at my workplace cos of certain things that happened at the 1st school i went to...a lot of competition n backstabbing going on there among the trainees...n being really young(or rather, ignorant?) n inexperienced n blur (still am..hee) then, i didn't really take it all too well..but the whole experience really made me grow a lot as a person..n now i can see that God really had a hand in the whole situation..drawing me to Him n bringing me into His family n blessing me in areas that even money can't buy...i can honestly say that i won't trade any of those experiences i had in my previous school for anything in the world...all that happened more than 3 years ago, but it's thru them that i know God can and will come thru for me no matter what, even though sometimes now, i don't see the things in front of me very clearly, but i know God will bring me thru them no matter what..sure, i do complain n i do whine sometimes but actually i know in my heart that God will come thru somehow..it may not be in ways that i want it to turn out, but i know the outcome will be for my good

Coming back to marking...i'm marking p4 n p5 english papers for 2 classes..seeing the compos n test papers in the afternoon made me feel really overwhelmed at first..i really wondered how i can actually finish marking the stacks of papers? Plus it's my 1st time really doing something like that...n my desk is really getting very very messy...can barely find some of my things sometimes...must really come back during the sept hols n clear it up to make it look nice n neat...i'm really glad i dun sit near the door cos otherwise the kids would probably get a shock man...wah this teacher so messy?! haha... wonder how christina manages to keep her desk so neat all the time...i was asking her this question last thu n she just laughed..haha

tomorrow's another new day..better sleep earlier so i can feel fresh n awake tomorrow...more papers to mark ;)
