Busier than Bees

This week and next’s would be quite busy for all of us here at school as we are nearly coming to close and as to formally welcome our summer holidays we are hosting a play for parents to watch. We are coming on Saturday to do more rehearsals and make the decorations for the upcoming long awaited performance. Some students may not come on that day so we agreed to have some supporting characters ready for whatever is missing on that day. Oh it’s gonna be my first directorial job here as an English teacher. I’m so excited just thinking of the real play on Wednesday next week. For now all I can do is imagine and leave it all to them on the day of our greatest performance of all time.

Still Working on a Birth Day?

Working on a birthday is much more fun than staying at home with nothing to do. Perhaps this is the only day of my life as a working professional that I actually came to work. Not literrally though, grins. I hope I could do my tasks later and have some fun after ‘work’. Actually. Well, in a few more weeks from now our school year would finish and am so expectant by now to go home and have a relaxing break, hopefully. Well, what’s more important is to really enjoy each moment like what I’m doing right now. Listening to music while chatting and sending emails. Sounds multitasking, ei? Yes, I can! and I am! Speak soon guys. Got to concentrate for now. Smiles.

Spelling Like a Bee

Can you imagine yourself spelling like a bee? Why in the world is it called Spelling Bee by the way? Well, to play it smart, I think it’s because every contender is going to be buzzing with their wits and knowledge of words mixed with their quickness in thinking of the right order of letter to form the right spelling of each word in a specific limit of time. The quickest of course wins!

I hope our first round of this contest would all go well tomorrow morning. I just hope, as my higher levels and us would be going to Doha’s Bowling Center to have some great and quality moments. I know it’s not really a good timing to have a Spelling Bee after two hours of tiring ourselves out there in the alleys throwing balls to beat other teams, but we have to do the Spelling Bee Round 1 as soon as we arrive school. Grins.

Best of luck to all the challengers! You can and will do it, guys

Saturday’s Make-up Test

I always have to make sure to come to school on Saturdays for making up what I miss during work days. Oh by the way, you don’t know when’s my days off right? Living and working in the Middle East only have Thursdays and Fridays as days off. So that’s pretty much why I’m coming to school on Saturdays. Anyway this coming Saturday is our make-up test for both June’s 50/50 and the online testing. I hope the kids would come early so we could finish the day early as well and I can do the rest for my academic stuffs. Then, I’d still have some time for my other activities at my flat.

Looking Forward to be Qualified

When I get home very soon, I plan to get myself a certificate and I hope to get qualified with all its high standard requirements. If so then I’d be able to do my next ultimate goal and get myself up to the ladder of success. Oh it really reminds me of our discussion in class this morning. Smiles. I wrote on the board this: ‘Only people who earn a lot of money are successful.’ It really invited my students to discuss since I’m so blessed with these bright and interesting kids around me. I liked all their ideas and truly they enriched me with their different viewpoints about the measurement of success. We all have our varied ideas and differing opinions on the topic and it made us all appreciate the beauty of our differences as a multicultural classroom. I’d surely miss them since I won’t be with them next year. Well, going back to the excitement of being qualified. I hope to really get it since I’m planning to move to another country after my contract and that certificate would further back me up with my next goals.
