Teaching? Or ...

It has been a crazy few days, and there are endless tasks that I had to look into daily. By the end of each day, my legs ache and I am totally drained.

Today, for instance, I worked at my To Do list conscientiously, trying to cross out more, if not all the items in the list. And then I have come to realise that none of those things in my list were related to teaching and learning - my CORE business.

Now, let's see. These were what I did :

1. Organise presentation of souvenirs and certificates for students during the morning roll call
2. Collect testimonial forms for students and KIV
3. Update namelist of recipients for upcoming Speech Day
4. Photocopy and distribute list to relevant personnel
5. Print vouchers for upcoming Speech Day
   
6. Update namelist of participants for SDI (Sarawak Development Institute) dialogue
7. Draft cover letter and attach namelist to be sent to SDI
   
8. Nominate recipient for Curtin Excellence Award
9. Draft letter to be sent to Curtin
10. Search for index numbers for upcoming MUET Speaking examination
11. Group the students according to index number
    
12. Deliver to the list to the invigilator
13. Call neighbouring school to borrow cultural costumes (but with no success)
    
14. Edit emcee script for upcoming cultural night
15. Print and photocopy script
16. Look for students and provide suggestions to amend programme for cultural night
17. Draft letter to ask for funding from the Education Department
18. Draft action plan to attach with letter so that I will get my funding
19. Clear my desk!!!
20. Attend support staff meeting
21. Supervise rehearsal for cultural night
22. Draft committee for convocation
23. Calculate funding for convocation
24. Draft academic committee for 2011
    

Phew!! Mundane. But does it look like I'm an event organiser, an administrator, a clerk or a teacher?
