reality bites

*warning: Random thoughts*

im a teacher

its more than just standing in front of a classroom and talking

like other professions, there are so many theories, strategies, insights, opinions etc.

cny coming. no reunion dinner this year...family's driving up to kl-genting. still thinking where to go? pop into a relative's house or go macdonald's?

been a weekend of seeing a forgotten side of my faith. saw the script for proceedings of confirmation and attended a cousin's baptism.

sometimes we take religion so lightly, like its forced upon us.

we could have the agnostic view or we could be at the fiercely devoted end of the spectrum.

final thought and happening in my life: have a new found fetish for tailored clothes. so many things to mix and match urself. weeee.

ok back to work...planning on self-torturing myself with early morning typing. good once in awhile to keep the brain active.

been so busy as of late. finally this weekend can take a breather, catch up on some tv, and have a little more sleep.
school's almost ending...juz another 2 weeks to go sans assignments.
quite a lot of happenings in my life these past 3 weeks since i last blogged.
to sum up guess sometimes its good to be heartless on some level.
practicum's acoming, so to all my fellow trainee teachers, this prayer is for you. let's put our knowledge to good use in our lives, especially since we're shaping the lives of others.
The poet titled this Graduate's Prayer, but certainly applied to Students. Graduate's Prayer


Father, I have knowledge,so I pray you'll show me now How to use it wisely and find a way somehow To make the world I live in a little better place, And make life, with its problems, a bit easier to face... Grant me faith and courage and put purpose in my days, And show me how to serve Thee in the most effective ways So all my education, my knowledge and my skill, May find their true fulfillment as I learn to do Thy will... And may I ever be aware in everything I do That knowledge comes from learning - And wisdom comes from You.
- Helen Steiner Rice
