i wanted to blog, but actually, i couldnt stop myself from reading The hour i first believed. i started reading the book weeks ago, but had to put it away because time doesnt allow me to and now that today, for once, i got a whole sunday and i just cant stop reading it.

there’s a number of storyline in the novel but am now at the part where the main character caeluhm’s wife was in the library when columbine high school shooting rampage happened. and then it went to how maureen the wife had to deal with the trauma,(while at the same time, caelum was mourning for his aunt’s death who practically raised him and the loss of his friend who was one of the victim of the shooting rampage)….and i had to pull myself away from the book.

just one week into 2010, first day of madrasah was better than what i expected (i had imagined worst) and although there a glitches, those are bound to happen, has there been perfectness in anything? so i’m learning. always.

like how we need to constantly be in communication with parents because one whole month of holiday and they got disoriented….i feel like we need to have newsletters now. i really think so, and with three fulltime teachers, this should be some work to do.

and if last year i experimented with group agreement, which really worked at some point, this year i’m trying out ‘trainer’s expectations’ and i hope this can create better learning experience. and i had a spiritual awakening yesterday when i shared with my students my expectations from the classes this year. it’s like a zap of light in an instance the moment i mentioned the word. it goes straight to the heart.

there’s a lot of things to improve. and plan. and decide.

it’s going to get busy definitely.

oklah, maghrib oredi…signing off.

and a whole sunday rest…i’m loving it.
