This is my choice

Christmas holiday is a season of holding supplementary classes. However unwilling I am to go back to school, out of responsibility and tradition, I did have arranged some classes during the holiday.

I had a supplementary class with 7A today. I was really, really disappointed by and angry with their learning attitude. I don't expect a Form 7 class to be that irresponsible and disrespectful. 8 out of 26 of them didn't show up (not to mention a number of those who were late to class) and when I called them to ask why, they gave me crappy reasons like headache, stomachache, diarrhoea... (8 of them got sick at the same time? Don't pull my legs.) And those who turned up thought they were cheated by their 'sick' friends and that they shouldn't have come back to school.

Normally, I would have given them a lecture on appropriate learning attutides, respect and responsibility, and showed them a poker face. And I would have burnt myself in anger as I did last year. But today, when I was about to set myself on fire, my promise of being a happy person popped up on my mind. And at that time, I held back.

It is my own choice whether to make myself happy or not. I told myself to detach from the whole thing and not to spoil my pleasant mood. And I did :)

I know it's just something trivial and when it comes to something big, things would be different. But I think it's a good omen, esp. at the beginning of the year. I am able to keep the promise to myself (that's the most important part^^).

I love myself ^U^.
