Pre Practical

It is no surprise for every college kids to do this activity called practical, usually it's before you graduate, it's basically a punch from reality that says "no more having fun in college, work 9-5 for the rest of your life and pay your bills on time". Probably not a good way to start my blog but I will try to keep it interesting and different. Let's time travel to the past, and I will begin with apologizing because I am a man and my species usually do not have strong memory but I will try my best to recall the events that I go through. I just received a message from my lecturers that says "You can start your practical now, write down your preferred school and we will contact them for you", I was a wee bit excited because I have been doing nothing for these past few months except stirring up some online arguments with strangers, so I asked my mom, who was a veteran teacher with 30 years of experience, I said "mom, which school should I go to", my mom replied with "go to SK Setapak, they do not have many students there so your job will be easier", so, I live by the quote "Mom knows best" and put down my preferred school as SK Setapak. After a few weeks of my friends and family making fun of me being a teacher because of my petite body, my lecturer said "go to the school with the letters we gave you, you know, for politeness and stuff", so I borrow my friend's tie, get dressed and went there, probably should make a new paragraph. So yeah, before I went there, I called the school, they were pretty excited to welcome me, not sure why but it makes me happy. I went to the school, take a look around, well by look around I mean I look for the office which is impossible to find because there is no map, until this woman who got out of her car and said "the office is over there" so I went over there. Loving the first impression the school gave me, the school's ambience is very cute, unlike my school which is like survival of the fittest. I met this lovely woman, probably in her 40s? She was super nice to me, asking me the basic questions like where are you from and the theory of black hole according to Stephen Hawking. It was a fun 20 minutes, unlike the 20 minutes I just spent waiting for her, but anyway, it's all good until she asked for JPN letter, you know, JPN, the supreme court of education, I said, I did not have it, the lady said you need to have it, I said okay, she said okay, we exchange goodbyes and there I go. I talked to my lecturer about it, and she said she will be at JPN next week and I have to print out a lot of personal documents to bring it to her. It's a lot of hassle and sometimes I regret picking a school in Kuala Lumpur because we are the only one that needs to do this stuff, plus we need to do medical check up which is quite expensive. I was the last one to bring the document because I did not pay any attention to the WhatsApp group but it's all good because every students in KL finally get to start their practical 3 weeks late, hooray. I think that was it, I will story much more but I do not want to publish all my story in 1 post because I will be clueless in the next 14 posts, so, see ya, and listen to all of Outkast album, it's a rap duo from the 90s, I have been hearing them for months, probably going to get bored of them soon but right now I will enjoy it to the fullest. I will leave you all with one thought, imagine I died tomorrow, and all these problems that I've been going through, it will all just be meaningless, my concern for money, my concern for marks, 1 nasty motorcycle accident and problems no more, so, live by Andre 3000's words, "heaven is the only good life, so what are you striving for?" peace out. I can feel the future lecturers deducting my marks because I did not take this blog thing seriously.

Fourth and Fifth Week

So I put the fourth and fifth week together because I have been procrastinating a lot and this is suppose to be a fourth week blog but whatever, I guess there won't be 14 weeks total of posts but it's alright, my grade already ruined as it is. Groundbreaking news, I found out that my mentor was not supposed to oversee my blog, it's my supervisor, I had this supervisor taught me in sem 2 or 3 I can't remember, I also cannot remember one important thing, is she strict or not, probably not the strict one and it's probably the strict one, 50/50 chance, but anyway, hello to my supervisor, at this point you're probably like "what the hell are this kid writing", well you're not alone, I too have no idea what I am writing. So, third week lesson plan is done, but the video has not, same goes to the fourth week except the lesson plans are also not done, I spent my days listening to music and playing games and the consequences have caught up with me. On a...

Ninth Week

"Do not focus too much on the future, focus on the present." a wise word from another teacher that I hang out with. I mostly hang out with male teachers, they teach the special kids, so they have a lot of free time, I also have a lot of freetime. This week I taught the students about how to read a clock and how to describe their yesterday. I closely follow the textbook just as my mentor did, she also print out some exercises for the kids but I don't think I have the capability to do the same so I just follow the textbook. I told my students to complete their exercises in their notebook, going pretty good. On Wednesday, a teacher told me to get ready because I need to fill out some forms to help him out, I gladly do so because I don't have anything else to do. Well that's it, gotta catch up with my work and that's it, i know i need to be more specific in this blog stuff but I don't really care, little mark better than no mark.

Second week

Well it is the second week of my practical, I have class every Wednesday which can make my creation of 4 lps per week difficult but it's fine. Me and my mentor are starting to know each other style a bit more, she's a young fresh graduate, so our age difference is not that big of a gap. I make my weekly video using PowerPoint, it takes 1-2 hours and I didn't even edit it, I just commentate over the animation I made in the software. My second week, it's still the Food, Please! topic, I don't really like food but I will try my best to explain it to future gen. Off to the third week, sorry it is a short post because I am very busy with being alive stuff.
