Class Week One, Term Two: Surprises, surprises, surprises!

It's Friday yet again and classes have resumed at full swing! It's quite interesting that time passes so quickly around these parts that the vacation season's really over and it's time we donned our professional images again and enter the classrooms in a haze of new subjects, new and old students alike, and also new things to teach / learn! It's quite lovely as well, to meet up with my old students once again in the classroom and to encounter new students alike, hoping for a very healthy relationship with them as we move along this new trimester of joy and excitement. Not to mention the upcoming Christmas celebration by the end of this all!

Surprises, surprises, surprises... yes, this week has been riddled with surprises since I had succinctly enjoyed surprising my old students into giving them a false sense of security that I am not their instructor. MWAHAHAHA! It was fun while it lasted and I must admit that even I tingled with excitement as I approached their classroom at their appointed time for me.

I was also surprised just now as I had a sudden plethora of problems to deal with with regards to my teaching load, as apparently some emergencies came up and I had to fill up some of the vacant positions at the expense of some of my subjects. It's quite regrettable to let go of some classes but I hope they get happier at the hands of better, more accomplished (and more enjoyable, hopefully) instructors. That means I have yet another surprise in store for me next week! Another new class, LOL.

I never truly realized how easy it is to teach Mathematics until I found myself in the middle of the classroom teaching it. It was quite fun to teach, especially with my methods as an instructor, and I really hope my students come to appreciate and enjoy Mathematics with as much excitement and enjoyment as I used to have with it as a student :D
