What a scary 2 weeks I had!


just recovered from flu...so downtime in my blog; missed one week of training thanks to the flu bug...
well did good in the YJC Values Day-10 feb- did a pr 240kg deadlift in front of YJCians- so strong on that...hurt my lumbars on trying a 250kg deadlift-almost broke my spine into two.....then thats when the flu bug took over....
still got two weeks to get ready for the strongman challenge...just to have fun there...make new friends....
work was hell; so much of marking and settle admin stuff; so much in so little time....
well thats teaching for you....students say it is fun to us that we give them so much work...well to us if it does not improve their learning- blame us too?
So much anger in the youth nowadays....from the way they talk to ones apperance- what is happening tpo their generation? to me it boils down to values from home....
lets see home...a word that conjures up stability and love....not to these kids....some I belive come from homes where there is no respect and love....who am I to say- just an observer-an educator who wishes the best for these kids....
saw my last year o level students on getting their results; so much sadness and happineess at the same time.....good luck i say to them on carving a niche for themselves in the real world....
need to finish up vetting the common test papers for lower sec science, settle my discipline admin and so much more.....
well guess the kids are having a great holiday till next wednesday...so much for them to recuperate....
hope the arty run on 21 feb will be a blast....a start for the spirit of our school....
hope to be well in the next two weeks....

8) Cleared my inbox...:)
9) Cleared my meetings with vendors..:)
10) Ate at Little India of thosai and masala tea with family today....

Good things happen but a lot of small and unwanted distrations that can occur if we do not manage our time carefully...

Me- trying hard to squeeze in as much things as possible in the day while devoting the evenings to myself and my family...:)

Workouts did well; trained on Monday-bad workout :(-did only minimal weights under 75 vmins, Wednesday-slightly better-did front squats, Thursday with my 2 3TA kids :)-met a commando who knows squatting, Friday at YJC :)-annihilated the weights in the deadlifts and saturday on my own-sucks-tired I guess....

Well looking forward to this week....a lot of targets to settle...

Here I come....btw it is now 6 week of term 1- 4 weeks to go before March break....

Well here I hop.....
