‘Cher! ‘Cher!
Wed, 28 March 2007, 12:17 pm by jadeiteI just signed four years of my future away into MOE’s hands.
“What did he say? He said something about retard principals. Wow, they really don’t shy away from telling it like it is, huh?”
“He said RETIRED, Beth, not retard. Geez.”
“Oh.”
(pause)
“I could’ve sworn he said retard.”
“No.”
“Ok.”
Anyhow while we were lining up to take our service card photo, I saw someone who looked familiar - turned out to be Theresia, from my primary school. She was there with Melissa, whom I vaguely recognized from secondary school, and I was there with Geri, who was from my junior college, and Elizabeth, from university. For a minute there my entire 16 years of school history were laid out in front of me. Scary.
So yeah. I’m going to get a pair of snazzy teacher spectacles and a pointer, and bun my hair up, and wear pencil skirts with cardigans, and you’re going to wipe that smirk off your face and say yes ma’am, Miss Pan, while I smack my pointer threateningly on your table.
i will send my future children to your school!!! :D
COOL!
When are you heading to NIE? I’m planning on going teaching as well - maybe one day i’ll bump into you at school! =)
(it -is- a small world after all right?)
I’ll be starting my term at NIE this year, in June :) Have you gone for interview etc?
nah…they only allow engineering undergrads to apply in their final year if i wanna take up the teaching award thingy, so i haven’t even sent in my application - you’ll be a year ahead of me then!
But i might still bump into Miss Pan at work or something ;)
You might :) Aw, pity, thought we might end up classmates…
