An update on moi
Jan. 20th, 2006 08:06 pm1. Moi is tired.
2. I am also feeling a distinct lack of 'me' time - between work and travelling to and from work, I have approx. 2-3 hrs to myself each day. And I don't even get to spend all of that meagre time catching up with my hobbies, seeing as how I bring paperwork home with me that I don't get a chance to do at work. And I also have to eat and attend to personal hygiene and shit like that.
3. I enjoy my job, I do. But it is so full on. After having nothing but myself to worry about for the past few years, being expected to be 'on' practically 24/7 with very little downtime is excruciating. I currently live for the damn weekends. During which I still have work to catch up on.
4. I do not get paid anywhere near enough for this shit. Teachers' salaries are shit, and pre-school teachers' salaries are even shitter, despite the fact that we do far more work and get far less holidays than supposedly 'real' teachers. NOT FAIR. Friends from university who have the exact same degree as me are getting a sweeter deal simply because they chose to teach Kindergarten, Grade 1 or Grade 2, and I chose pre-school. Why should I be punished just because I like the younger kids better? *pouts*
5. Two of the kids in my class are named Dallas and Lazarus - WTF???? How much do you have to hate your child to do that to them? And of course, they're complete little bastards.
6. On the plus side, I have a few students who are lovely little things - the kind who behave well, and follow you around, and tell you they love you, and ask for cuddles a lot. They're sweet.
7. With practically zero free time, I am facing the very real possibility that I may never write fic again. Not an overly huge loss, I know, but it saddens me.
8. I miss you guys.
