bittersweet solitude of a fireflower

Marked near 280 scripts, and I’m finally done.

Wasn’t too pleased with what I saw what I collated the marks for their first paper.

And then I wondered, is it just me or it’s them as well? Was the first paper (of which I set) that bad?

Either way, it’s already over and there’s nothing that can be done anymore.

At least for now.

Can’t wait to collate their marks for their second paper before I really know how they have fared.

Hope it won’t be as bad as I have imagined…

…

Will be going for this two and a half weeks course, and… I guess I’m half looking forward to it.

Half not looking forward to it because I would be missing the last two weeks of my first academic year.

Can’t even say a proper goodbye or pass them their report books.

Oh well.

The course does look a teensy bit interesting, so… we’ll see how it goes.

As usual.

…

We checked out our first hotel (machiam we are buying over one hahaha), and we weren’t very impressed.

We’ll be visiting two other places next week (or is it three?), and I guess we would probably settle on one as soon as we could.

We were originally thinking of a rooftop thing, but seems like no one has ever done an entire dinner on it. Sigh. But well, one of the places that we were looking at has lovely themes; hopefully we can customize it and make the entire thing less cliche!

So exciting
