Catechism Class

I had to pray again today. No choice. But i didnt really mind.
Had cat class again today. It'll be ending soon...Confirmation is on the 7th of Nov...there's a mad rush to finalise everything these days. My good-for-nothing assistant pissed me off again this morn...what a way to start the day. Ass...don't even want to keep some documents for me cos he says he will lose them. Grow up man - you cant be a kid forever.
Class went surprisingly well. Considering the fact that I had not put in a lot of effort. Joy even thanked me for the lesson after class. Was so surprised. Not been very patient these days and there were so many times during class when the kids just went on talking n yakking tt I felt I was gonna lose it but I didnt. Thank goodness.
Went for mass (initial plan was to skip mass but alan changed tt)...then had a short meeting after tt...Lyn n Jos joined me at the table...am really glad to know the kids better.
It was last year after my Yr1 Sem2 exams that I joined as a Catechist with Alan. How much things have changed since then. I guess what I can say is that I really love these kids. I don't think like is strong enough a word to describe how I feel. Of cos they piss me off now n then...they make me feel sad at times but there r others when it seems all worth it. I rem it was difficult in the beginning...I dont know why but they kinda change when they came into sec3...I think maybe sec2 they r 'in a phase' still. They were like outrightly sleeping in class, sms-ing in class...doing everything but listen. I still rem the day I walked out of my class after they pissed me off BIG time...I rem putting in SO much for tt class, taking so much time to plan and prepare stuff for tt lesson and even bringing down my laptop to show them a MTV so they wouldnt find lessons so boring. I'm really glad I didnt give up on them or on myself.
They're much better now. They still talk now n then but at least they know when to keep quiet...dont sms in class...n try not to piss me off. I feel I dont know some of them still though but just glad that the class is closer. The class really didnt interact much in the past but at least now I can say that most of them know each others' names (or so i hope).
Another thing is that I've been pestered to become a Godparent. I dont want the responsibilty esp now when I'm spiritually low n all but I think this guy really cant find anyone else and so I reluctantly agreed. Man...what am I getting myself into?? but then again, I think I will make a better Godparent than some of those a**holes who dont even bother coming down for meetings n might not come down for the day of recollection/rehearsal in a few weeks time. I will give my best though.
Walking back n talking with Alan...found it quite sad that it's me and him again. Sigh. It's like so many have come n gone. Those that are here cant really commit tt much. N tt irritating guy who I call assistant is of NO help whatsoever. BUT I'm jus grateful for all the ppl I've met along the way and gotten to know better. You guys know who you are. I just hope that more committed ppl would step forward. W/o ppl to guide the youth what will become of the future of the Church? I don't mean to be a hypocrite. Yes I know I'm a bastard but at least I'm committed to the kids and will do my best to do what I can. I think that's the least I can do.
