A Teacher's Diary

Fast Paced Life

Tuesday

I didn't eat breakfast. Buti na lang birthday ni Trisha. She gave the faculty a box of Greenwich pizza.

Happy birthday Trisha! :)

T. Claire called for T. Jessie. I was too shy to ask her whether she's done reading my book 'My Name Is Memory' and when is she planning to return it to me.

I'm happy whenever I see improvements to my pupils. One of them is Audrey. Ang sipag at responsible na niya. :) I hope she'll keep it up.

They didn't order me food for lunch. It was fine actually. I wasn't there anyway when they ordered food. So I went out and bought 2 cups of rice and ham with egg sandwich for my merienda later. My viand is the Bluebay Mechado in can that has been on my shelf for a long time.

I managed to eat all of it. Simply because I consider it as my brunch - breakfast and lunch, usually at 1 PM. I seldom have a chance to eat in the morning.

I met Hailey after school hours. This time we talked about her mistakes in the second Periodical Test. She got perfect scores in her 3 subjects. And I promised her a reward for that. She mentioned before that she'll appreciate anything I would give her. I was just sad when she told me she had lost her lunch box. After we reviewed her tests, I noticed she didn't inprove on her Math. :( I gave her set of numbers to solve using multiplication. It seemed she's getting confused what operation to be used whenever she solves a problem. She also forgot how the magic finger works. :( So I gave her at least 3 sets with 5 items each. She always needs guidance to solve them. I gave her another set and instructed her to solve it without my help. I told her I need to go home so she needs to work on it tonight and submit it to me tomorrow in school. She was whining and asking me to stay. Her lola and auntie were teasing her about it. Her auntie even said that she thinks Math is really the waterloo of the family because her son, Kirby (Hailey's cousin) is also having a hard time with the subject.

When I went to the terminal, it was amazing that I found Donna inside the jeep which I was also about to get in. We talked about T. Des' upcoming wedding on December 26. Donna showed me the red dress we might wear for the occassion and agreed to buy one day of a weekend in Baclaran.

Since it's kind of late, I was unable to continue reading 'Inferno' today. Kuya Fred mentioned yesterday when he saw me reading it that it's hard to put it down when you're already in the middle. But I have to discipline myself and try to savor every chapter of adventure of Robert Langdon~
