I really thought that it was over on my previous entry.
I was wrong.
It was not over as I thought it should have been.
I really thought that I could finally take a break and have a good holiday with my family.
I was wrong.
More scripts to mark. It was EET669. The writing and the speaking recordings need to be evaluated too.
So,I decided to complete 'everything' before going for a 'break'.
Yes, everything in inverted coma as I know that it's impossible to complete 'everything' before going for a break. So, I had completed all that I needed to do.
The next task to be completed is setting of the final exam questions.
Last week, I got my new timetable for this semester.
10 classes to teach for this semester and 3 codes to teach.
1. ELC501 English for Critical Academic Reading - 3 classes
2. ELC590 English for Oral Presentations - 4 classes
3.EWC661 English Report Writing - 3 classes
So,here I am. Blogging again to declutter my mind.
I have 2 days left to make preparation for the next semester.

First Reflection of 2017
It's Thursday afternoon and very quiet. Nobody is around. I can only hear the chirping of the birds and the sound of the air-conditioner and my own typing at the keyboard of this computer. It has been a while since I've done any reflections on my teaching.
Oh yes! The semester has ended. I feel somewhat numb from the flooding loads of work that had to be completed last week.
It's over? I can't believe it is over!
My family and I actually stayed and slept in my office for 2 nights last week as we could not go home because of the flood that blocked the way to our home. I did not sleep as I was completing the uploading of the marks for all my 9 classes of 5 different codes.
Feeling overwhelmed. I just need to pour my reflection here to unload some of my thoughts that have been playing in my mind. Facebook updates have not been enough.
I need to spring-clean my room too. Need to get rid of those papers that are no longer necessary to be kept.
To be continued.
Going home.
