Replacement Class on Sunday

Folks, today is Sunday and now, i am having a class with my Mecha students.
Argh, it can be so tiring but what to do: i have to replace them anyway.

The reason for replacing the class is because these students have completed the other class and now the only class that they have left is my class; and my class is once a week. So, instead of having my class in the middle of the weekdays, they chose to replace the class and postpone it to the weekend, leaving them (yes, them only) with carefree weeks!

Argh, it is so tiring, but it nevertheless worth it...

But the class is not running smoothly. Here's the story:

First, there was no air-conditioner at all. I mean, the air-con switch can be turned on but the chilled air does not flows into the classroom. So, the students and I have to suffer for a bit.

Second, all of the computers in the computer lab has been formatted: yes, it has been formatted without my knowledge and the software which i am going to teach the students were apparently removed from the computer. This really stresses me out: but luckily, another lab compensates it. So, instead of learning a software on modeling and programming robots, i taught them about basic robot programming. This somehow compensates it, but nevertheless, i am still angry and not satisfied with the fact that the computers in the computer lab has been formatted without anyone's knowledge!

Third, some of students did not attend the class: well, they chose not to attend hence they also chose to fail. To the students, listen to this: do you think that i have all the time in the world to show you and teach you again on the things that you've missed during the previous lesson? It is YOUR responsibility to catch up witht the lessons that you've missed. Even if you were sick or on MC on previous class, but still, it is not acceptable for you to beg me to replace the class just for your own sake. I have other work to attend to, thank you!

Haaaaa (heaving long sigh). Now, what i am going to do is i am going to replace the class to some other time and hopefully, by that time: (1) the air-conditioner is working properly, (2) the computers are equipped and has been installed with the necessary software and (3) all of my students the students turned-up to the class.

Let's hope so!
