Physical Education

I was reading my previous post and editing it because my friends have been lamenting about the atrocities of this particular one, when I realized I promised to finish off from where I started. That being writing about stuff I needed or wanted to say. My friends have also lamented about how infrequent I have been in my blog updates. So I looked back at my archives, I kinda agree with them since it seems the dates always seem to skip probably 7 digits at least before the next update. I can explain although I know no one would want to listen, so I shall not bother. Just take it that I was busy.

Anyway many things have happened. Many new developments have been made. One of which though came as a shock and it came today. As some of you might have known, my teaching award expects me to teach economics and English when I graduate and proceed on to NIE. However, I haven’t been doing relatively well in Economics since my 3rd semester and somehow the Ministry took notice( of course with my help when I applied for a change in CT). So ever since my fourth semester they have been monitoring my progress and I have had to go for interviews every semester. This semester was no different. However, as it was my graduating semester, I suppose it was more essential than the others before. Firstly because they required the teacher to have graduated with Honours in economics in order to teach economics. Secondly, considering I filed for graduation, they realized I wasn’t going to do honours and that I wouldn’t have met their criteria. So although the interview went well, they did ask about other subjects that I would like to teach. In fact they actually mentioned three different subjects, namely mathematics, history and physical education. I obviously had no issues with all three and answered their questions fairly well. However I didn’t think much of it because I never thought that they were actually going to change my subjects. And from my nick, I am sure everyone knows what econs has been changed to. True enough, ladies and gentlemen, if all goes well, I am going to be a PE teacher. It came as a shock to me at first because I really love economics and the thought of teaching it would truly be a dream career. But I realized that teaching PE and English wouldn’t be a bad idea after all. I love sports and games and it would be truly engaging and wonderful to be able to share this passion with my students, many of whom have it in them as well, only waiting for the right channels to be opened. On top of that, I get to pursue my whole notion about being the cool PE teacher but yet firm when in the service of imparting knowledge. Not forgetting of course, the fact that I do not have to wear shirt and pants to school, coupled with creating more opportunities to keep myself fit and earn extra PE allowance every month. All in all, I suppose I have come to believe that this is a blessing is disguise, although I will not stop my dream of teaching economics. I plan to pursue my masters 2 years into teaching and hopefully I would be able to transfer later on. Oh yes, Carlos says I have to start working at being cool since I am now in the “fraternity”. But whenever I looked into the mirror, I realize he really doesn’t know what he is talking about. (Smiles)

That being settled, life is good since everything seems to be falling into place although I hope to be more organized and conscientious in my school work, especially since deadlines are nearing. And of course, it would be nice to be settled emotionally with someone special, who would mean the world to me. Someone that I care a lot about and who cares a lot about me as well. Someone that would be happy with me and one that makes me extremely happy. Someone that would tell me off whenever I deserved it and would remind me to constantly remain rooted to the ground. Someone who would know everything about me and me everything about her. Someone I can look at and never want to stop looking. Someone who would be able to take my aloofness, my insensitive being or my sensitive moments, my need to be at the peak and the nonsensical disappointments I suffer whenever the peak is not reached, someone who could disagree with me and be my worst critic, someone who understands me not only emotionally but intellectually or mentally for that matter, someone who knows my friends and understands how much I love them as I know and understand about hers. Ultimately someone who I am most comfortable with, someone who would be my best friend, my soulmate. Ok, don’t worry folks, I am not getting all emotional right now, neither am I reminiscing about some ex girlfriend, although I have to admit she does possess these qualities. I am just writing about what it would take for me to change and remain settled. Somehow though, I don’t think she would be appearing any time soon or worse if she would even surface at all because honestly good things do not happen to me, and I haven’t been that great a Muslim for God to love me that much. HE loves me I know, but HE knows I don’t deserve such happiness, not yet at least.

Speaking of which, these days I have been looking forward to Mondays a lot since there is a certain class that only occurs on Mondays. First and foremost, I love the class a lot cos It involves something I really like and from the attention I have been receiving in this class, it did make me look as though I was quite good at it. More importantly though, I look forward to Mondays because I get to be in close proximity with this girl now personally known as the Hottest of Hot. This is a tanned Chinese girl with a Pan Asian face and long hair and a body to die for, ( and I really don’t mean it in a bad way) She has the greatest smile and a very interesting personality( actually I really wouldn’t know cos our conversations are usually very short). To top it off, she seems like an independent girl who loves to work out. Imagine that. We could go to the gym together. Hahaha. What you say Wishful thinking. Anyway, yes that’s how hot she is. I cant really state exactly what module this is, cos we never know who might read this, so I would rather maintain a certain element of mystery. That however is not the best thing folks. She asked me to join her group for our final project and the project is quite heavy since it accounts for 50% of the final evaluation. Which obviously means we would need to meet up often to finish up stuff but don’t worry I am so not complaining. Haha.

Ok enough about the goddess of hotness, anyway I was supposed to write about the other things I needed to say from my previous posting but I cant really remember. I went climbing last weekend as I said I would, and I must say I really think I improved a lot. I managed to conquer most of the walls I didn’t manage to climb last week. So I hope the improvement continues and I get better and better.

As you might have read from his blog, I went for a run with angelsoul. We planned to run two rounds as we always do, but circumstances somehow didn’t allow it to happen, especially since according to him I came late. Nevertheless it was good run. Especially when it should work well with the No Carbo diet that I am trying out for three days. Its my second days fellas and I am dying. But I shall persevere. I am going for a mediacorp audition for a part on an English docu-drama tomorrow. Lets hope the diet pays off.

Thats it for now. Gonna go watch American Idol now. A great show.
Out.
