Also, although it's too early for New Years Resolutions, I resolve to attend more community events - i just haven't been my usual maARTe self in long while with school, and now, uh, school again (in a different context). Now that the crazy busy stuff is nearly over with my day job, i want to start going out again - i feel so out of it! Credit for inspiration goes to Miss Thang who seems to be at all the great events going on in the Asian American arts community lately. She gave me an update on happenings when we met up at Longwood last week. I don't want second hand info anymore (as thrilling as yours are, Emmy, hehe) ! Maybe. I'll start - next week?

A quicky update: I had my first formal observation in the classroom today by the principal himself. Talk about freakin' nerve-wracking! I was so nervous and seriously prayed that my students would not have serious behavior issues (as has been known to happen in the form of biting, spitting, climbing on chairs and moving the tables around!). My kids were great. And the principal was raving about how the class was conducted! He said we (me and the assistants, known as paraprofessionals or paras in the special education universe) exuded warmth and compassion towards the students and that it was a "joy" watching us at work. He even asked me again where I had taught before. My answer? "Uh, I student taught for two semesters?" And he said I coulda fooled him coz I acted like a veteran! Sheeeeeeit!
Tomorrow is Parent-Teacher conference. I remember going to those with my parents and being so scared. Now I realize how nervous the teachers are as well. Or baka lang ako? Hehe.
BTW, my baby, maARTe, finally won the Philippine Web Awards. Yay. I'm greatful, but it seems so anti-climactic at this point.

Yep, its all about the kids.
G was like, so how come you don't update as much anymore. And I was like, well, if I did update more, it would probably be stories about my students. Wouldn't that bore you? (uh yea like anything i ever read is anything but boring, hehe)
Is this what happens when you get older? You get wrapped up in your job. You don't take interest in the same stuff that you used to, from volunteer stuff to stuff you read on the internet, whether blogs or other sites. Maybe this is temporary? But right now, all I want to do is get better at my job, and when I'm not working, I just want to hang out with B or my friends, or just sleep.
