暴風雨後的彩虹
There is always a rainbow after a storm, or a horrid weather. That's what I like about it, and that's probably the only thing I like about storms - rainbows.
This was a pretty rainbow that stretched across the entire city after a horrid weather the other day. It was so pretty, it's hard to describe (as usual). If only the building in front wasn't blocking, then you'll get to see a full view rainbow.
It's so huge, it can't fit into my camera lens. If only I had a wide angle lens to take pretty rainbows. It wasn't till that day that I found that rainbows are not semi-circle; there is no pot of gold at the other end of the rainbow. Rainbows, come in a full circle - which is to say, that the other half of the rainbow can actually be found on the ground.
One day, I will find the other half of my rainbow.

I actually haven't been updating much about tutoring.
In a flash, 4 lessons of tutoring have gone by, with 2 meetings for the past 2 weeks. I still can't kick the habit of rambling on like a machine gun in front, and although I still can get the class to participate in discussions, I somehow realise that people are actually getting quite bored with me.
And I have a problem - I can't seem to articulate my thoughts properly. Sometimes when I'm explaining something in class, I will suddenly forget the appropriate terms, and then stammer, pause and change topic in a awkward manner. At the very least, I can carry on with where I left off. It's like, I have a lot to share in my mind, and I want to tell them lots of things, I want to tell them, let them know how interesting tourism management is. But somehow, I always can't articulate my thoughts properly.
Maybe it's because I keep pressurizing myself to do a good job, so that I don't let my lecturers down and somehow a teeny wish that I instill some sort of interest of tourism management in these first years. Because at first year, it takes a lot of effort to stand strong in what you are studying. Unlike in SG where changing course is such a difficult issue, changing courses, or even switching degrees is as simple as ABC. One year, someone can be doing a Accounting degree, the next year she can be doing Law, half a trimester later, she might change to the Arts.
Tourism as it is, is already a very small cohort. I just wish I could maintain, or stir up some interest in them - or at the very least, not kill those puny interests.
I don't take teaching as just a job, I take it more than that.
But maybe I should just stop taking things so seriously.

On a sidenote, my hair has grown horrifyingly long. >_<
Oh goodness gracious me.
