Whoops

Smashed up an EZ-Link card reader when squeezing out of Bus 179 going home. It's quite sparse inside the hard plastic shell, not a whole lot of wires and circuitry.

Got 2.5 out of 5 in the recent quiz for maths class. In defense, I was first to finish because I wanted to go early to finish up an essay for another class that was due that day.

Bryan's wedding is coming up. Our GESL project is organizing a camp for Youth at Risk on the day of and the day after his wedding.

Now that he has an understudy and is working on the project we were working on before I left, he realizes how much better it is to be in my position than in Yinglan's. Better to work on projects and come up with initiatives, which can only bring glory if successful, than to work on critical, routine, everyday processes, which can only bring ruin when you eventually make mistakes.

As a teacher, the same problem exists when "teaching" is considered "routine", so wait until you become Principal and are able to come up with projects that are visible outside of the classroom. And yet teachers in the classroom make the most difference to students...
