It's unbelievable to say that i got to bed so late last night (seriously speaking it's early this morning!!), 3.40am to be exact. Probably I slept too late and failed to make a dream easily. Worse than that, I got up "automatically" before six, that means I had only less than 3 hours sleep. It's also astonishing that I didn't stumble over in the street, and can still keep alive. Finally I finished marking all the F. 6 assignments and could return them all to the students this morning, or I will receive a complaint! Another nightmare is yet to come: marking the F. 6 examination scripts within 10 days, starting next Monday, followed by two exam paper scripts checking in early July. It's not easy to imagine how big problem it is for the colleagues. We have 4 "experienced" colleagues in the Business Studies Department, more than 10 years working here, and then no more "semi-experienced", because they all went to other schools or institutions. Life is so hard working here. I could join the school simply because a teacher failed to 'cope with' such big stress and resigned only one month after the start of last school year. It's quite terrible that she vomitted after eating even just a small bite, simply because of stress. For me? Well, I had so many days working late until nine in the evening, and then "pulled" back my exhausted body home. Life is not like that. Though it brings you good reputation and even envy from working here, it's nothing else but exhaustion, both physically and mentally, and even spiritually. Worse than that, job satisfaction is rare cos you are only the "teaching staff" but not "educator". You don't need to talk about moral standard, values, good characters...etc. but good (or excellent) public exam results obtained from students of your class(es). That's it, and that's all. I had made a decision, a decision of relief. Life is not like that.
