Of homeworks and students

You know, giving assignments to students is a cinch. With a snap of fingers, assignments can just flow out of my mouth and given away while singing LA LA LA LA.

Then, the truth prevails, and the truth HURTS. It hurts the mind when suddenly you realize that the assignment that you gave is to a class of SEVENTY-F***ING-FOUR students and the assignment is INDIVIDUAL not GROUP work.

Ever felt knocked down by a falling wall? That's how I feel when one by one, big hands, dainty hands, small hands, cheeky hands, itchy hands hand over the assignments to me, on the table. After 3 assignments, my poor file cannot handle it anymore, I need a new file to fill them in.

To make matters worse, I haven't checked a single assignment yet.

Can I scream now?

Bienvenue a mon monde / Welcome to my world / Selamat Datang ke duniaku

Imaginez vous seriez dans ma place. Comment pensiez-vous de la vie d'un professeur. Alors, pour me comprendre mieux, lisez donc et peut-etre vous comprendrez ce que dans mon esprit.

Bienvenue a mon monde.

Imagine you were in my place. How would you think of life as a lecturer. Well, in order to understand better, read and maybe you will understand what is in my mind.

Welcome to my world.

Bayangkan anda di tempat saya. Bagaimana pemikiran anda sebagai pensyarah. Untuk memahaminya dengan lebih baik, baca dan mungkin anda akan faham apa di dalam fikiran saya.

Selamat Datang ke duniaku.
