So officially on Monday,
I completed my required hours for my french class
Before i can enjoy my holiday
i received a call on Wednesday from my previous teacher
and she informed that we can continue for level A2
for 150hours for free!
and i was to attend the orientation on thursday
So after the orientation, the following was mentioned:
basically, all the foreigners are to attend free french classes
sponsored by the government (immigration dept)
after we attend the required hours,
we are to pass the required exam
thereafter, if we want we can continue for higher level of classes
however, the gov only fund for a physical year
for me, it means only for 2014
anything after, i will need to pay on my own
so initally, im quite sure that i will be paying for future classes
since i will only sign up for classes after i receive my results
and after our trip back to SG
but apparently, the school was so keen to help us
which i think is more an attempt to take money from gov
the school requested for gov to fund us
to continue the higher level of class
to the end of december
I am definitely keen to continue the classes
but there are 2 concerns
first, the level A2 is much more difficult than what i attended
the teacher emphasized like 24541234654321 times
and we will be having the same teacher
ehh.. the one who never seems interested in teaching
and i never really learnt much since she took over
despite my classmates' complaints
it seems we have no choice
secondly, the class will require 4 full days per week
in order to complete 150hours by end of december
or rather before christmas
this reinforce my idea that the school just wants money
because they insisted that level a2 is really difficult
and after some calculation,
i realise it is impossible to complete 150 hours before christmas
The classes will be 9am to 3pm
on Monday, tuesday, thursday and friday
since i will be working on tues and thurs
i can leave the class at 2.30pm.
However, i am really concerned my ability to work
after a long day in school
well, the youngest girl under my care
still treats me like i killed her father
and im still getting super stressed up at the thought of seeing her
yes, im trumatised by a 3 year old girl
during my previous class,
i end class at 1pm and get to rest a little before my work
and i was still exhausted
so, how is it possible for me to attend a longer and more difficult class
and go straight to work?
I guess there are 2 choices
i quit my job or the class
and definitely the class is more important than my job
i admit im really happy if i can quit my job
and this seems like a good excuse
opps
so last evening, i told their mum
that i may not be able to work
from monday to end of december
and to my surprise,
she offered to give me a month off from work till Jan!
She is such a nice boss
when im just trying to quit my job...
i told her that it is unfair for her to be without a babysitter
for a month
and i understand if she needs to hire a new babysitter
to replace me
but she assure me that it may be alright
that she will speak to her husband
and confirm with me on monday
although, it seems i didnt get the chance to quit my job
and i will be stuck with the girls
im still looking forward to being just a student
till the end of the year...
