Plugging Holes

Well its the last day of the month and the first official month where I have written a post everyday. I want to write more because its an important skill and I think maybe fun to read later.
Its Thursday! I got a haircut today killing time in the morning. I am thinking that this is the shortest I have had my hair in a very long time. My clean cut brother is a joke now~if he even reads this.
Work is work and I say Plugging the holes because it seems like Me and Christina run around work trying to make things better before another problem leaks out. I am not using this analogy properly but let me try to explain...
It seems like there is never a way to finish the job perfectly there is always some undone task that is being needed. The secretary who works there really angers me. At times it looks to me like she only makes Christina's job harder. She doesnt talk to me at all. I have been here for 8 months and its OTL that the kids and her can't see me as a person and awknowledge my presence the bare minimum. Carrie is another problem: One day she told Christina that my desk is nothing but a bunch of germs and yet she is always complimenting me like" oh I like your hair. She always wants to talk to me too. She is oblivious to the fact that Christina is working and trying to get a lot of work done which to me is Above and Beyond duty because she simply cares so much. I love how much she cares about kids and doing her job well but it makes me sad to see some kids walk over her and just be rude.
My classes:
MA2: Chris almost kicked me in the Go ju. His temper tantrums are nuts and I really wish I knew an answer to that. He never does his homework and always has to stay but somehow he gets it done later and is all happy for 5 minutes. He causes the biggest noises in the Academy. For example he kicks doors, hits desks and screams so loud at times. I dont really care for MA2 because the kids simply dont see me standing in front of them. So its simply, watch the teacher get mad.
MB3: I shouldnt have had to teach this class today. My boss owes me big time ...whatever though. Bruce is a great kid and usually funny and I can ignore him. But since I have taught 3 times this week and I got a haircut and thought I looked better I was dismayed when he was laughing at me for my shirt hanging out. The kids always comment about my appearance and it really made me fruterated. If he had stopped after 2 times I wouldnt have cared but I had to leave class and ask Christina if there was something wrong with my look. His behaviour really upset me esp. because I dont know what they say 80% of the time.
MB2: class of Cows. I have kids who say they dont understand because they sit there and literally draw a picture and not listen at all. When I say go they line up at the door and it takes them 3 minutes to Moo mooove out of the class. Its crazy to watch them not follow any instructions.

That I guess is one of my frusterations because in Korea people cut everyone off even if there is plenty of space. I feel like saying "excuse me" I am right here. I know that this is a cultural thing but still sometimes its just weird. Explain later.

TC1: MY CLASS~they unfortunately made me almost cry. I am sick before I go there and to be honest I am never getting a haircut again because of the attention and fiasco associated with it. The kids all say not to me oh Nick sungzanim mori kara. and then they all ran to the office to see. I wish they would speak to me in English I tell people its very rude to talk about someone when the I can't understand what you say. I feel like a pet sometimes.


After class I finished work by trying to get ahead. I planned all of my classes for tomorow and next week~ there is a holiday next week! I will probably spend most of it if not all of it in Gumi/Daegu by myself.



Well its now almost midnight and I have to get ready for a busy friday of which who knows what will happen....more to follow
