Teaching:

I didn't think my teaching job would take so many hours from my life. Classes finished 5th December, but as I'm too good for my own good I ended up grading portfolios till that same day. And that is a rollercoaster of emotions to me, anger, angst, happiness and worry. Parents trying to make me pass their children because "They won't be able to go to the end of year trip if they fail a course" . Making souvenirs for 250+ students, going to teachers meetings to decide who passes and who doesn't (I won second prize at most failing students, even when I gave them a lot of extra chances to pass. I dont like that)
End of year act, having to act as is expected from me, making the kids shut up and be respectful of things like the national anthem and church stuff (I work in a catholic school).

Those were the stressing parts, there were other parts that were good though. I had a boy with whom I got into a fight almost every class, in his words "We played "Who yells harder"". He came the last day when I was overwhelmed with the souvenirs making at 9am and helped me till 4pm went to his house to eat and take a bath and returned at 6pm to keep on helping me. I couldnt believe it, and he told me he didn't hate me as much now that I wasn't an authority figure to him, that was one of my biggest achievements this year. Had a lot of fun with the younger classes and their end of the year projects were amazing.

I still have a lot to learn, but this year I learnt a lot from my students and I hope next year I will learn even more. I learnt how to speak to them, how to be friendly but not becoming one of them, how to avoid critizing other teachers when they complained to me about them and a lot of other things. I didn't teach all the contents I should have taught, that's something to improve next year.

House:
As the classes madness finished we received a message saying we had to clean up the lawn of the house we're building because there was an inspection coming. That was a lot of work, as the lawn was filled with bricks and cement rests along with wood pieces and iron stuff. We also set some steps for walking.
We already have electricity and water (it got installed on saturday) and the only thing stopping the move is the sewage system that needs to be finished, but we're hoping it to be finished this january. And we'll be able to move at last!

Art:
This part is hard, fear of failure had me stop drawing almost completely for two weeks, I'm slowly getting back in the drawing mood.
I learnt a lot of two point perspective this year, I just need some more practice to apply it to organic stuff.
Been studying old masters and their erotic works, head on to  zhu~ to check on those.

I will slowly start replying to notes (I know I have a few from quite a long ago).
It's good to be back!
