9:14PM - Crunchtime stress!

Tomorrow will be round 1 of 2 for my practicum assessment. Feeling very nervous and stressed over it, despite preparing whatever I can for it already.

The thing is that I will be assessed for one of the most difficult to handle classes that I teach. A class that may have incidents happen or some kind of outburst waiting to happen any time.

Keeping my fingers crossed. Hope it will all end well. My job is on the line here...

Wish me luck! Gonna need lots of it!

On a slightly related note, this is the kind of new challenges we face at work these days.

With most students owning a camera-phone and the ease of putting things up on the internet, anything and everything can happen.

In this case, I think it is ridiculous. I mean the student. Yeah, so an extra few minutes of singing the National Anthem will cause him to fail his N or O levels?

Right. How about learning how to sing the anthem properly once through and get over with it then?

Kids these days... *sigh*

In any case, this serves as a reminder that I have to be careful of what I do and say while at work. Will never know when danger lurks!

Current mood: nervous
Current music: Concave Scream - Driven
