I have better news than the alleged "across the board" increase I was just granted! I started my day quite EARLY today--7:00 am to be exact. The culprit: an 8:30 midterm exam atop the matterhorn (read: 5th floor!)
You see, I am not a morning person. You can make me stay up on a God-help-me kind of late, but never ever wake me up in the morning not unless there's a fire or it's already the apocalypse. Anyway, I started my day early today--and I feel good despite the deprivation of my much needed slumber( due to stress and insomnia). And what did I get from this unusually early morning craze?
Here's a lowdown of my whole day:
For three consecutive one-and-a-half-hour-each sessions, I was tasked to enter a room and borrow Ms. Tapia's aura so as to look dreading and threatening to the students. Then, I instruct them to read the instructions on their questionnaires! (how tiring..=) After that, i sit in my territory (read: teacher's table) and become a living witness to the students execution of mental hardwork. I mean, how tough is it really to pretend I'm tough?
Well, consolation is provided by the students' numerous made-up facial expressions (which varies from fornicating of the eyebrows, mumbling something to theirselves and scratching almost any part of their anatomy that is scratchable). All this, in an attempt to outsmart me and CHEAT.
Best part: Well, I get to sign my well-practiced signature at the back of their permits! And I get paid for watching a poorly rehearsed modus operandi.
