It's officially been one week since I started on my first job after finishing college last December. Took me long enough to plan out a proper schedule for myself. I was dilly-dallying with myself for too many months and I figured I should just do something already. I kind of miss the days when I can stay up till 5am doing nothing but now because of work, I always have to sleep by 1am or I'll die at work the next day.
I don't think I told anyone on LJ (unless we talk on twitter) about my job yet lol. I'm working as an art teacher for kids :D To be honest, being a teacher is the last thing I want to do in my life. As in.... I've really never thought about it. And I always tell people "I can't teach to save my life" because it's true ;___; I'm a horrible teacher. I don't know how to be cutesy around children and I'm like a robot when asked to hold them or whatever. I'm so awkward when they want to come sit on my lap lol. I THINK I'M ABIT LIKE ONEW :( I'm only good around children who're shy and quiet or those who know how to behave themselves during lessons. I need to learn how to be comfortable with all of them sigh. I teach a few teenage students too and they're really easy to deal with keke.
So besides teaching them how to draw/paint, I also teach them how to do crafts :3 It can be really fun but extremely strenuous too. When I don't teach, I just sit in the office and rot. At the moment it's pretty relaxing since I can take my time to do research etc, but I foresee the coming weeks to be really busy idk. I've been given a task to come up with 13 craft ideas, then execute them by next month because they're supposed to be broadcasted on a local tv channel in June. IDEK. I'M SO STRESSED BECAUSE OF THAT. THIRTEEN CRAFTS I CAN DIE OK!!! And I probably have to go on tv. DO NOT WANT. OMG FML. :((((((( I'd rather teach 10 extra classes in a week, I do not want to be on the screen. /cries
I don't know what to feel about my job yet, tbh. I don't love it, neither do I hate it. I think that it is sometimes enjoyable but mostly it's just awkward and boring. I rarely socialize with other teachers idkkk I don't know what their topics are all about half the time lol. I wish I could pick up their Chinese conversations faster boohoo. Oh, and this art school I'm working at is a subsidiary of my college, so it's pretty much like a part of the whole campus.... which means I meet the college staffs everyday. Ugh do not like it. But anyways, yeah everything else is alright. I can't wait to get my first paycheck. :D
