Yup!

Am coming back July 2nd. :) It's not a bad gig actually. Working 16 hrs a week, being paid 1k, and having the time to travel whenever I'm free- it's great!

Loll, yeahh. Still need to get used to the system here since it is completely different to what I'm used to. But it's all part of the learning experience. :)

I do too! If this isn't a wake up call to how horrible climate change is then I don't know what is.

Thank you! 🤗

Yes it sounds like a very worthwhile experience!

@ bold true!! its been there since September but the government had been waiting for it to get worse to take some action 😔

What about the old one? Did you guys not carry on with the rewatch?

We tried a bit, Jean even put up a thread but people have become somewhat disinterested and busy I guess, unfortunately that's what happens when a show ends and for us Pb has ended, isn't it?

Teachers' life lol 😁 but actually it is even harder to prepare if you don't know their system well... I could teach any course l have actually taken myself fairly well, but it takes much more time if i haven't done it myself.

As for Australia, it is so so sad 😢😢, I so hope that at least the coming winter will give a chance to recover a bit.... I have some relatives down under too so have been getting firsthand pictures lately 🐨

Yeahh, I mostly do what the teachers tell me to, and it's all pretty straightforward. Luckily I'm in the non-bilingual school so I only have to focus on English. If it had been bilingual then I would have had to teach other subjects such as science or gym which would've been 😬

But winter is so far away. :(

Oh no! I hope they've been faring well. <3

BTW Gur if you ever do the alternative storyline do post it here please... But if you don't want to anymore, no pressure 😅

I still do! Just gotta find the time tbh. 😅

Apart from school work, food is a huge concern for me right now cuz I don't want to keep buying it. And since I'm desi I want my desi khaana. Gonna be searching for some shops that sell Indian spices and other groceries so that I can make something and not worry about what to eat for dinner or lunch anymore.

@bold that is so true!! coming from an Indian classroom, I was not at all prepared for the students here😆 it is so much more difficult to keep their attention on what you are teaching for a long time as you cannot even reprimand them in fear of bad student feedback🤣which could cost a lot to you later on

Yes here in Australia, things are improving a bit as there was heavy rainfall a day before. Melbourne used to be the most livable city in the world, now its even more smoky and polluted than Delhi due to the bushfires about 200 kms from here

LMAO, I get it. I have a mix bunch as there are some who are quite obedient and will do as they're told whereas there others who just don't give an eff about the teacher who's standing in the classroom. They literally have no fear, so it's like how do you even punish them?

Oh no! I was just thinking about how bad Delhi was in terms of its pollution. I really do hope Australia is able to recover. 😔

Aarggh, that's even more disgusting. You really had to wait for millions of lives to be lost, potentially forever, to take action? They could have acted much sooner and been seen as a world example of what to do in the face of a national crisis.

Oh... well, we could try again. Technically it has ended, but the beauty of fandom is that shows don't necessarily need to have a finality. It could be days, weeks or even months later that you revisit them and find something new that you appreciate or notice something that you didn't see the first time around. Then there's all the fan works that keep a fandom alive as well. :)

I don't know how people feel individually. For me, while the passion for PB isn't to the extent that it was last year because I have so many things going on, it still holds a special place in my heart. Moreover, with all the ideas that I have running in my head for them, I don't think it will ever end.

Lol i'm not even desi but I totally get it. I have lived a while in Southern Italy where all grocery shops have limited themselves to like 5 spices in total. Luckily there were a few shops, mostly of Singhalese, where i could stock up on pretty much anything. That being said, it is often more feasible to just shop whatever is common at a place and then twist it a bit 😅 also, tortillas and stews are easy to make and keep well in the fridge 😉

I used to be a bit ironic with the fearless ones and if I managed to make fun of them a bit (nothing bad, just a few sitcom like jokes) so the class was laughing with me, and that mostly made them comply. But I only taught at university so I could always tell them that they didn't need to sit in class if not interested.

Yes please! I'd be in 🙃🙂
