Memoir of an Heiress

I'm going to be fine, I guess.

I've already talked to my coordinator about the matter (read my last post just below this one) and he didn't get mad at me, he actually understand my situation. He gave the subject to one of my friend who is also an instructor and in exchange to that he gave me my friend's subject that will conflict the subject that I gave up. Now my subjects are almost the same with the rest and that means that my preparation will b lessen but not my salary, hahaha.

I just signed my contract yesterday and according to he contract I will be working for them for the whole semester only and my contract will expire on October 2008 which is just around the corner, I mean October is not that far from June right. After that I'm still going to think if I am going to accept another semester with them. If you want to know how much I am earning you better message me over Y!M and I'll tell it to you, hahaha.

The only thing that I love about my current work is that I am not only close with the faculty and staff of the school but also my students, I do get along with them well and that's a very good sign but of course I am still building a very thin line for my students so that they will still treat me as their instructor.

Anyway, I am still having problems regarding my requirements. I need to complete all the requirements before the month ends or else I am not going to get my salary but how am I going to do that if I don't have any money to complete my requirements as well as I don't have that much time to go to places wherein I can get the needed requirements.

Thank God I don't have a Saturday schedule and I will definitely use that day as well as Sunday to just rest for the whole day and thank God for my blog and my online buddies for always being there for me. You know who you are people and I am not going to give names.

PS. I want to have a new hairstyle and I am thinking of having the Jessica Alba look, what do you think? I'll provide photos next time. If you have any suggestions let me know, I am getting bored with my long hair.

PPS. Add me up on Plurk. If you don't have one then better make one now, it's fun. It's like twitter but more fun.

I QUIT!

I so hate myself for being so pessimistic. I've been thinking of quitting my job but then again I am somewhat enjoying it, labo. I've been complaining lately about this one subject that I can't understand completely or maybe I am just being pessimistic and that causes me for not to understand it but then again I just can't.

I am going to talk this matter to the coordinator where I belong and maybe he'll consider giving me loads that are somewhat the same with the other loads that I have. As early as now I am going to say my side rather than keep it with my self and suffer from it.

This is not the usual me, in fact I am starting to let it all out by crying. Yes! I can now feel the burden just because of this one subject that I want to give up. It's not fair if they allow the others give up some of their load for the same reason that they can't understand it, they should allow me because they already did it to the others. Considering that I have two subjects that I don't even know at all and I am trying my best to study it.

God! Please do allow them to allow me to give up that very one subject that causes me burden and pain right now.

Honestly speaking, I am not enjoying my job 100%, I mean right before as well as after I took the job I am still on the 50-50 basis. I am right with my feelings, I should not really accept the job after all.

Why am I being like this? This is not me and I am hating it. Maybe I was just shocked and I am still adjusting with the situation but then again maybe this career is not really meant for me.

Oh my! Just help me pray that they'll allow me to give up that very subject that I don't like then I'll be fine, I guess.

PS. I have a vista desktop already, hahaha.

SY 2008 - 2009, welcome.

Yay! I can officially call myself mam angie and I am an official instructor already, hahaha. Today is my first day at work it was all good.

I woke up at around 5:30am just to prepare for my morning rituals, early much? I need to because if not I'll rush again my every moments just so I can make it to school before 7am. I was in school at exactly 6:40am that means I still have about 10 minutes before my first class starts.

There are a lot of funny moments before I was able to meet my dear students. The IT program director gave us a revised copy of our schedule early this day and there are a lot of changes especially on the room assignment. According to my revised schedule I should be occupying the 302-A room but when I got there along with my students someone is already using it. Lucky, the instructor is also new and we are kind of close because of the numerous meetings that we've attended together. We kind of chat for a bit about the room assignment and he told me that 302-A is also assigned for him at the exact time that I'll be using it. Since his the first one to occupy the room, I let him used it and decided to go to another vacant room.

Funny thing is that my original class is not around, or maybe they are but I was not able to meet them because I was assigned on a room with a section that is not assigned to me but same subject. Instead of meeting up with my BSCS101A students, I am in front of the DIT101A students on which I don't know who the instructor should be.

In short, the morning class was like a roller coaster ride.

Most of my handle students are freshmen and a little of the old students but it was all good. I just hate the last subject because almost all of my students are boys and you know how boys act around with a new instructor right but I am proud to say that I did not give in to their usual pang-aasar ways.

My feet hurts from standing in front of the class for a total of 4.5 hours with a 30 minutes break only.

I just hope tomorrow will be much more better although I must admit that I don't like my schedule because I'll be in school from 7am up to 5pm with a total of 1 hour break only.

Wish me luck people, wish me luck.

I made a vlog something similar to Nadine. Yes! The singing vlog because she told me about the site where she recorded her own singing vlog. Unfortunately, it didn't went well because my voice won't sync with the music during playback but when I am recording it everything is synchronized. I'm going to try to make another one maybe on Saturday since its my day-off.

A must see vlog: Tricia's first ever vlog.

Super inggit ako kasi matagal ko na pinapangarap na makapag-vlog kaya lang nahihiya ako, sana lang next time magkaron na ako nang lakas nang loob.

PS. Watch out for my upcoming singing vlog, hahaha.

SCHOOL is COOL!

School Year 2008 - 2009 will already start in about a couple of days from now that means there will be no more late night activities and fun because you need to wake up as early as you can for your 7am class.

That reminds me of my every first school day moments wherein I keep on forcing myself to wake up as early as 5:30am to prepare for my 7am class and wherein I rush my every morning rituals just so I can do it all in a short period of time. Those are the most precious days of my entire student life.

Now that I'm done with the student life and starting to explore the real world, I am not going to miss those precious moments when I was still a student. Thinking why I wouldn't missed it? It's because I am still going to do that same actions over and over again for 6 months because just like a student I am now preparing myself for my first school day moment for school not being a student but being an assistant instructor. My environment suddenly turned to a 180 degrees in a blink of an eye.

Yes! I'm proud to say that I am going to teach 1st year and some 2nd year students on the very same school that I graduated. It's not actually easy for me since there are still people studying there who are close to me and I'm not sure if I can work effectively with them teasing around but I guess I can handle it.

Here's my SY 2008 - 2009 schedule

My schedule is fully loaded but I'll still have the time to enjoy life. Based on my schedule my ranking is Full Time, Assistant Instructor and I have a units overload.

I'm going to teach IT subjects some of which are easy for me while some I still need to study but I'm ready and at least I learn more. I just which I'll be an effective instructor and I am also hoping that my soon to be students will cooperate and learn from me.

I'll leave you all with that but I'll be back for more updates later. I'm already tired and sleepy.

Ready or not, here I come.

I guess almost everyone of you know that I had this job hunting thing going on especially that one from where my alma mater asked me to work for them as an IT instructor. After 2 days of completing the requirements such as the demo presentation and the psychological exam, I am now a certified IT instructor.

Don't ask me about my compensation yet because I still don't know the details and besides I am not signing any contract yet maybe I will know all the information by tomorrow, which is actually today at around 8am, because I am going to attend a faculty development event.

Up to now I am still not sure if I want to do this or not. I am still on the middle and I still have a 50-50 decision. I want to do this but I am contradicting my own self, everything is still confusing.

Anyway, my status would be a part-time full load instructor that means I will go to school at 7am or even earlier and go home at around 5pm onwards. Because I am on the full load status, I am going to teach 6 different subjects but I still don't know how many classes.

Life sucks and I suck, hahaha.

Now, I got to practice speaking in front of a lot of people looking very smart and knowledgeable. I just wish the students won't asked questions out of the blue.

I'll update you with all the details as soon as I get to know it all.
