Now, I know the feeling of holding huge responsibility for the happiness of others. To make sure the the rest are at their happiest, yet not to boil down my own strength. The rest hugged me; asking me to share if I can't take it.
I appreciate that. I really want to finish tasks given to me.
I just hope I don't sink. I want to continue swimming. Let's hope I stay this way.
I've been on my laptop typing away all sorts of emails to many departments, students, parents, my Australian counterparts, sponsors, and even a bank. On top of all these, I do take my classes to be part of my many priorities. I'm here, in the first place, to impart knowledge and teach.
I felt bad for a mother who flew down to KL to help her son register, only to know that Bursary could not process the offer letter because the money is not in the college account yet. I apologised many, many, many times. But I am lucky that she understood the situation.
Many come to me with a lot of problems to solve, asking for my help and requesting many different things from me. I'm more than happy to help. But I hope I don't snap even when I'm at my limits.
I nearly did that to a student today. All I did was that I kept quiet, listening to her for a moment ... took a really really deep breath and continued my sentence.
How long will this persist? I need more brains and many hands.
Anyone interesting in teaching part-time? Communication major? I'm hiring. :)
Otherwise, Happy Chinese New Year, people!
XOXO,
theRascal
