getting paid $120/hr

NIE starts this week, and i've heard from my mentors and senior teachers that it'll be the happiest period in one's life b4 entering the workforce proper. mostly due to the fact that the timetable's damn slack and the grades dun seriously matter in one's posting or career progression (unless u fail, of cos). somemore u get paid! like close to 3k :)

basically for the next 10 mths, it'll be 3 mths of theory stuff at NIE, 6 weeks of hols (woohoo!), 9 weeks of practicum (where i'll be assessed) at a random sch, then roughly 3 more weeks of theory in NIE.

oh and for an idea of how slack i'm gonna be for the next 3 mths.. above is my timetable. starts at 0830 and ends at 1930 btw. mum mentioned that it seems pretty packed considering how smug i was, and furthermore i have to study in my free time.

however, as i'm exempted from content upgrading (having done well in my teaching subjects), i dun have to go for the lessons. so effectively for this mth, the pink and yellow slots are non-existent. so that leaves monday free and 2hrs each from tue-fri. but wait! fri's lessons only start in sep. so i have another free day on fri! like how slack can.

resuming weekly tennis/bowling lessons, starting on guitar tml and entering random stuff organised by my new fave organisation to learn things and know new pple. ask me out, anyone.
