The same grind

- poo session begin - pull down your drawers and get comfy.

Woke up today at about 7am to cook soup and prep for tonight's oyster chicken dinner. many would say that if you love food, you'd make sure your own food comes out similarly the same and very critical of your creations. i made chicken chop with a hainanese flavour to it; last night. it wasn't a flop, "restaurant quality?" maybe not yet but gimme some time.

went to Uni at about 930-ish, replied emails and stuff. guess what? i still don't have my table and computer. how sad? i came from a bloody 21" p4 to a nothing. anyways, the table arrived when i left and i also have my name plate on the door. (i'm, rather proud of that, cus it means them guys are beginning to trust me) it isn't surprising to me, that a certain amount of mistrust was thrown my way last semester, but i proved them wrong by working my ass off even though i wasn't paid for it. i worked other people's shit as if my own wasn't enough.

Im assuming the same thing will happen this semester. i've been given the responsibility for one paper and co-teach another. So anyway, i've finished prepping my own module but let me just say that when i received the co- taught paper module, i was thinking maybe i should be a bastard and let that motherfucker die at the hands of students; after all he's a full time and i'm part-time. But i came to realise that with my name on the plaque comes the KIWI's trust, this trust which i so painfully earned last semester. So then i sorted and pipped him along the way, checked the labs (to see if software was working? in this case it wasn't), uploaded his files to the student drive (which no one told me how to fucking do last sem) and converted his files to PDF (so that no fuckin student can say " uh huh well, my brief says the deadline is next year"). Good deed done for the day, emailed him the details and pray his class tomorrow would be a good one.

Up the steep hill and into apartment 13H. i realise that i don't have any notes whatsoever just a FLA file and what to teach in point form, so i'm making my own notes. its a habit i adopted at LUCT, be prepared or face student disrespect. No student should be without notes, whether they leave it in the loo (yes, i found them before) or just plain don't care; they won't be able to say " but i-- don't have anything to refer to?". AUT doesn't share the same policy, it is not required to produce notes as students have the capability and ability to find and resource notes themselves. How different can society be?

So the day has been work-work -work nothing fancy just hard earned money making. i'm NOT being paid for prep time.

- poo session finished - birdman's advise, wash your arse before standing up or you might just leave some chocolates behind. Have a good day ahead!
