About being a Teacher & making the most of life...

Yes, I forgot about my lil' vent-space, till K'Tall (heh.. the name) reminded me that I could blog, when i told him I was terribly bored. I brushed it off with a "I'm in too much of a snappy mood to write". Hell Yeah I was! Somethings refuse to budge in my life, lets not get into that. Anyhoooo, I just had a flash-flood like realization, that I'd run out of ideas. Ideas strike me only, and only when I'm extremely busy with work! Since work has been normal and routine for the past week, I didn't really need vent-space. Besides, I'd been meeting Wag-kid and rAD-R quite often. Loads of fun! Really!

So again, I'm back! Blame it on the really important work I'm currently pursuing to complete. Well, the BIG update is that Aw and me have joined an NGO as volunteers, and well... *pause pause*... We Teach. Being a teacher, the non-textbook kind, changes the status of Dream 1 on the list to A.c.c.o.m.p.l.i.s.h.e.d. The girls at this school we teach at are quite adorable. (Thank Heavens they're girls... so well-behaved and nice like all girls usually are).

There's Girl1 - the attention seeking, question-always-answering, smiling-to-buttering(eh?), bounty-points-wanting girl, who sits right in the front, trying to supply right answers to me which I gladly wave off with a smile.
Girl2 - the last bencher, chatter box, bully (really.. trust me), whom I caught trying to ape me while i wrote on the board (Dude... chalk... its been so long!). Well, she quietly slipped into her best behaviour when I asked her if she had something to say with the most smashing smile I could offer. Guilt trips work like a charm!
Girl3 - Always giving me wrong answers, and super shy, so the answers are given in the softest of whispers. I promptly correct her in whispers as well. We work like that. :)
Girl4 - Eager, confident and wants to be politically correct, so we caught her peeking into the book. Eager works for me though.. brings in energy to my class.
Girl5, Girl6, Girl7 - Who waved me goodbye as i left, asked me to come back next week and left me enough warmth and fuzziness to last me all day.

NGO-time is packed into my week very conveniently, and I can't get over the fact that I'm finally doing this! :) (Hope you're smiling too, its quite an amazing feeling).

This is how I'm making the most of life. Hanging onto every moment passed now - every smile passed over to me (non-obviously, of course), every instance of eye-contact made (Oh! Could I die for that!), every meeting made with Goofy (last few, sighhh, heavy heart) and the others, every sign of shop-a-holism i've shown (love, love, love it!), among many other every things.

PS : I can eat with chopsticks now, thank you rADR! Although, my food-mate must possess patience.
Wag-kid, hehe, may thou inspire many :P
Goofy, wait for a more sigh-sigh post about you.
