Frustrated fingers.

 

Today is sports day. So was yesterday, and so will it be tomorrow. It was supposed to be a joyful event, but not this year. Dull. I guess budget does make an event go good or bad. However, it is not the budgetary issue. Nor the sports day.

 

It was when I went in to my classroom, I was so disappointed. It broke my heart. The condition of the class. Disoriented, broken, disorganized, lost items.

 

I don’t want to say much. But I’m enraged. Full of fury.

 

It saddens me to see a group of students who deliberately vandalize items just because there’s entertainment value in destruction. *Shakes head in disbelief*

 

Despite me shaking with anger, and my fists clenched in fury, I will not (and try not to) unleash the torrents of hellbound inferno worth of wrath blindly to my students and the users of the classroom.

 

Though it is the easy way out, considering that I do need an outlet to vent out my frustrations, this is clearly not productive for me as a teacher.
