my undergrad classes learnt the fun stuff today
the wide-eyed "wow" on their faces after they managed to make a helical cutout..
that's priceless
:D
Thursdays are exhausting and exhilerating at the same time
because.. thursdays are my teaching days
it's great when i see a particularly weak student doing better
and equally gratifying when a student wants to know more, to understand
i love it when they ask me:
"Why do I have to do that?"
and then there's my postgrad..
who just needs a little more help than she's getting
but i guess that's what research is about..
fumbling, throwing your hands up in exaspiration, picking yourself up, and then starting again
life's been manic.. and isolated
i've fallen into a rhythm ..
i go to work by 8 plus
i grab something easy for lunch.. which lasts no more than half an hour
.. and which is increasingly becoming later..
on tuesday, by the time i got to the canteen, it was 230
and they've run out of food
i go home when it's dark.. trying not to step on the fallen apples
i leave the tv on .. on the days i cook dinner so i can listen to news
or i can see myself becoming utterly cocooned
i try not to bring work home, but it's becoming impossible
in all of this week, i haven't had a proper conversation with my housemates
and we even work in the same office
life hey?
