my daughter caught the measles. she's almost through- after three days of high fever, and three days of excruciating itching. poor princess *sad sigh*

after my first orientation last june 2, it came to a startling surprise for me to find out that the first day of a set of orientations this week was also the first day of work in the new school i work for now.

the blue school of IT love. and ASEAN gardens.

a lot of things are different here.

for one, there aren't any grading sheets. everything is electronic. we key in scores after every major exam. the print out is the class record. pretty impressive, yes, but daunting, even more (for someone who's used to the bulkiness of teaching, it's going to be a whoozey for me this semester; the orientation for this will be on friday).

another thing, peeps here swipe the id for book borrowing. that and the library doesn't allow peeps to plug in their laptops on any of their sockets *long sigh*

it was weird, entering the enclaves of the faculty room for the college i'm supposed to teach for this coming semester. it was evilreborn back to square-one. i was scared, because all eyes were on me - all four pairs of them - when i entered the room with the hrmd assistant. even more this morning, when people introduced themselves this way: "ah, so you're th guy with the PhD..." i gave them a quasi-puzzled look, and say yes, much to my surprise. looks like someone's been going around, telling them to prepare for the coming of the big bad wolf.

i'm still scared. i hope things will go as planned. or better.
keep in touch.
hey.
