I miss you

I miss your fingers intertwined with mine, your sweet scent, and the contented feeling that comes with knowing you're near.

Not Everyone who Speaks the Language can Teach It

One of my latest undertakings is signing up for an online TESOL certificate by Arizona State University through Coursera. The course started this week, but it's a pretty laid-back course since it only demands about 2-4 hours of study each week. The downside is that it would take perhaps a year or more to get my certificate since it's going at such a leisurely pace. What I do have is time, however, so I'm not too concerned about that. Anyway, I completed my first assignment two days ago, and felt like posting it up here. The assignment was to state my opinion in 1-4 paragraphs on the statement "Anyone who speaks the language can teach the language". Since many believe just about anybody can teach and that teachers aren't really professionals, here's my two cents about it.

My 29th Birthday (Covid-19 edition)

So, it's that time of the year again where I treat myself and feel a little less guilty than usual. This year, though, it's a little different because of the pandemic. I can't have a party, I can't hang out with friends...wait, I don't do all that normally anyway. I guess it's about the same then. =P The nice thing about having a mid-year birthday is that it often falls around (or in this case, smack dab in the middle of) Raya/school holidays.Thank You, God. At my age, the best gift is the gift of rest . Having said that, I do accept other gifts too. Here's a list of all the gifts I've gotten myself/ others have gotten me, in no particular order: 1. Durian. Mmmmmm. 2. Royce Au Lait chocolates 3. Cookies from Lavender Bakery 4. A 52L oven 5. A stand mixer 6. A casserole dish to be used in the oven 7. Gongcha pearl milk tea (30% sugar, less ice, coconut jelly topping)  8. An Eggs Benedict lunch at The Coffee Bean and Tea...

Things I wish I had known before I started working

Teaching is something I've always known I wanted to do. I went through a rigorous teacher training course - well, it was rigorous in the way it took me out of my comfort zone, even if not rigorous in an academic sense - and had practicums in 3 different schools for a total of 6 months, so I thought I was prepared for the world of teaching. Make no mistake, I was about 70% prepared, but there were still some things that took me by surprise. Here's a list of what I've discovered over the past 10 months of being in an international school. #1 How physically and mentally tired I am every single working day I usually get off earlier than JW does because school lets out at 4pm. When I get back home, though, I'm so drained from the day that I don't want to do anything that requires physical or mental resources. JW, on the other hand, is relatively fresh at the end of the work day. We've figured out that teaching in the primary school is more physically taxing tha...
