Overwhelmed
Today is such an overwhelming day. I brought 3C to the Science Centre, and boy, were they madly excited! The key word is MADLY! They drove me mad...The boys were running all over the place; they just can't line up in 2 straight lines; everybody is shouting on top of their voices; a few of them keep tapping my shoulder to get my attention; high pitched calls of "Ms Lum! Ms Lum!" flood my ears every second as they tried to get their questions to me; and Navarish keeps tugging me trying to show me some cool exhibit.
I wondered whatever in my right mind did I agree to bring them to Science Centre.
But after half a year with them, I think I have also grown in keeping my cool. I can amazingly handle all the bombardments of questions simultaneously, while staring at some hyperactive ones throwing balls all over the place.
The greatest reward came when Fadlan told me suddenly, "Thank you, Ms Lum, for bringing us to the Science Centre." You see, they have never been there before. It's all worth it, eh?
Other than 3C, I have been feeling overwhelmed with work. Suddenly, there are a lot of things for me to do, and new portfolios that I just realized. The initial joy of finally having something to kick out the boredom turned into fear as I wondered if the school is giving me too big a hat to wear. I feel like a David facing a Goliath now. Will I make it? Yes, I can soar on wings like eagles with God.
