Migrating to the morning session and some personal issues

i received a call from the principal when i was about to pray asar 2 days ago. she first asked me where i stay. then she proceeded to ask me if it's okay if she transfers me to the morning session. okay? i've been teaching in the morning session for 11 years, of course it's okay! i'm supposed to start the morning session next tuesday.

words quickly spread in the community. now that i got my wish, i realised that i'm going to miss teaching in the afternoon. i sincerely want to help the weak students (there are students who can barely read in English) and to prepare them for PMR. the life in the afternoon session is easygoing, with no hassles (something that is considered an alien concept in the Blok Premier at SS, because we're always busy, busy, busy from Day 1 until the end of the year) but i guess i've to go back to the old life of being busy. when i was in SS, i'd rather teach at Blok Premier than being "exiled" to Blok Bestari, because in SS (in certain cases) problematic teachers are sent to the latter, while teachers who perform well teach the exam classes. of course, i made noise and complained when we had too much on our hands like the district camp and the also the school level camp all at once, or handling debates and annual LCDS summer camp in the same week, but in the end, i realised that i thrive in this mayhem. haha talk about being mad.

but because of that, my confidence of being in the morning session at the new school probably irked a friend of mine. to my friend, i'm sorry. i guess i've the knack of becoming obnoxious (which is a family trait) and after discussing with my close friends, i hope i can tone down and become "humble" as told by my Lit Chief.
