i am feeling way much better now....yesterday was feeling frustrated and stressed out but after regulating myself, i feel much better...thank you ppl for dropping me messages to cheer me up and give me good advices....decided to compile these good advices so that when i am feeling unsettled again, i can read this post to feel better....
1. enjoy the time that i have left
agree totally...i dun think i will ever have this again in my life except when i go on maternity leave...it was a darn good break and a very productive break for me to settle my wedding and house issues
2.don't think so much and just dive in
totally true..i think i overthink stuff all the time...here i am thinking if i shd be practising sleeping earlier and waking up earlier but honestly once u start, automatically u will learn to adjust ur own body timeclock...and it will happen whether u like it or not...so think less and take one step at a time
3.it will still be quite relaxed in the beginning coz there are no students yet
that is really true..i am facing a dead envt...
i think the best advice is this:
4. i set the pace of the school
and it is really true...unlike when joining an existing school, i will need to adapt to the existing school's pace of working and style of working but in this new school, i am the pioneer batch...i am the senior and only english teacher..i wrote the curriculum...i control the pace of work here...i can decide if something needs to be completed in a day or 3 days...it is entirely up to me coz there is no benchmark and no one to compare against...i am the one who sets the benchmark..so why shd i worry so much?plus my bosses are quite nice in the sense that they dun keep bugging u to complete the stuff...usually they will just hand down instructions and then the ball is in my court to complete the stuff as and when...knowing my working style, i usually get stuff completed way ahead of schedule that i actually have to sit on things and resist emailing the completed stuff back so soon...i really need to relax and learn to take things easy...
again, i really need to thank friends and family for giving me encouragement and advices..thank you ppl!really appreciate ur help in calming me down....i am too anal abt things sometimes...very control freak...which is very very bad...sigh...need to really learn to loosen up...special thanks need to go to daddy...daddy has been really supportive and helpful...he has not lost his temper once with me while i am in my super irritating mood..it is times like this where i can dare say that i made the right choice to marry him..honestly which man can endure his wife emailing him 60 to 100 emails a day to complain (yes i did...haaa...emails are my new smses)and he made sure he emailed me every single email to drop a short note on not to worry..he will help me etc...which man will do that??honestly i would not...i dun have as much patience as him..if i were him, i would email my wife to shut up and stop whining..yeah i guess i need to tell myself to shut up and stop whining...
