Busy, busy, busy

The busy week has finally passed....and hopefully not to return. The frenzy of activities started with the Sports Day, reached fever pitch with the enthusiastic support of the students in the Inter-CCA bazaar and culminated in the Awards Day. I hope whoever planned the schedule for the term reaped his/her just rewards by drowning in all the proceedings....but highly unlikely... teachers are always in the frontline to bear the brunt of all sorts of nonsense....and buffer the higher-ups from the dirrrrrty work... Don't they know it's exam soon?

The classes are certainly not in the mood to study. I would be too if I were a student, but still, there's no excuse for not following orders for them to behave like a decent human being should...

Of course, there are also the two emcees for the Awards Day who really put in effort for the part and to T too for her helpfulness.... I think we all enjoyed the stage but still, I was surprised I wasn't nervous when I stepped out to speak. I actually enjoyed listening to the transformation the microphone and PA system made to my voice.

At the risk of sounding like an egomaniac, I think I have a very nice voice when I'm not bellowing at students...
