supergirl mode on!

Posted on June 11, 2009

That’s how I’ve been feeling the past few days. I feel like I need to have superpowers this schoolyear. Although I resigned from my teaching job last March, I was again called on to render services on a part-time basis. They needed a math teacher and it was something I couldn’t say no to. I will be handling two levels, Geometry for Year 2 students and Trigonometry for Year 3 students. It’s my first time to handle Trig and I know it’s nerdy to say this… but I’m pretty excited. I’m excited with Geom too because I only handled it for two trimesters last year as a replacement teacher and I must admit that I wasn’t that prepared to take it on.

So starting Monday, here are the things on my neverending to-do list: do the laundry, clean the house, cook, iron the clothes, grocery shopping, menu planning, play with Mateo, feed Mateo, give Mateo a bath, read books to Mateo, clean the bathroomS (unfortunately, we have 2), water the plants, write 20 350-word articles per week, proofread around 20 articles per week, make activity sheets, make quiz sheets, read up on my lessons, plan activities for my class, feed Aria (our golden retriever), give Aria a bath, clean up Aria’s poop and urine, and many more small things that comes with maintaining a house. The ones I’ve listed above are just some of the must-do things because there are also some things that I could delay/postpone or ignore.

I can’t believe I wrote a whole paragraph on things that I need to do on a regular basis. Imagine if I wrote it in list format, hehe! So anyway, I’m blaming myself for refusing to get another maid/yaya, for accepting the part-time teaching job, and for accepting the writing job. I see them all as necessary evils, ha! Let’s see how long I get to keep all this up. So yes, superhero mode SHOULD be on. God knows I’m going to need superpowers.
