So Today is my favorite day of the week other than Sunday and in some cases Saturday. I worked my 4 classes only to have minor problems. Sometimes, I think its interesting because I used to prepare so much more for all of my classes but now I dont really use a lot of Supplimentary material. I used to do in class activities and give some for homework but now I dont.
Anyways, I had 4 classes and 3 hours of thinking time. I got my tests done for this month! So now I can focus on doing more important things while I am at work. Oh am I dok dok gai or what. (smart) um, actually i still have some more work to do but I have some breathing room.
So I dreamed a lot last night. I had wild amazing dreams that left me feeling so happy. I know its really early but I can't help but dream of Missoula. The Quiet Evenings where I would walk around campus and be basking in its pleasantrys is something I miss. Its 7 pm and you have hours to walk around during the summer~ its time for ice cream, coffee whatever you want! A romantic walk along the banks of the Clark Fork take me to my knees and then I wake up and I realize Christina and I still have 5 months to go.
Today I was dreaming of singing songs and playing at a concert with some random friends and being with Christina it was a nice dream when even better I got messaged. I was unfortunately worried though and proceeded to wait patiently for Christina to arrive.
At work~ the kids were really affectionate. The kids like to come into Christina I's office and play. Unfortunately I think this is a small problem since it makes working -prep time virtually impossible. I wish there was a rule that made the kids just stay in the classroom. I think its nice to enjoy the kids for awhile but I think they like to play to much.
*Maybe its because my classes are nothing but play time. I think I am supposed to primarily teach proper pronounciation but the truth is I am still working on attitude.
Today for example, There is this boy in MA2 the youngest kid in the Academy. He is very funny and can be very nice. But he throws bad temper tantrums and he is always hitting me. 75 % of the time he is a bad student at least but i do like him because he is funny and he is only 6 I think. I feel OTL (frusterated for those of you who dont know this the o is a face, T is back and an arm and the L is a leg. I am on the ground pounding the floor) (CAN YOU SEE IT) because Today I wanted to help him.... and he doesnt think that he only sees homework as the enemy.
To be brutally honest I truly feel I have failed as a teacher. ...
I am continuing to find new strategies to get me through the day. Time goes by so fast and I am getting through the Teaching day knowing that there is always tomorrow. I have been told that I take my teaching job too seriously so I am starting to ease up on it. I am cracking jokes at times but its hard because I am not sure when its entirely appropriate.
Today, I yelled at MB3 because I am tired of talking to myself. I say the same thing everyday and they dont learn from the last time. One of the kids in the class had his mom to complain about my extra homework. I wish I could meet some of their parents I would simply say"that's too bad stop complaining and take responsibility. I never punish that much. It takes more energy than its worth. MB2 are truly a class that could be branded Cattle. I say please dont put your books away until the music and I say this for 10 minutes every time. When the music plays I say Go. Bye. They line up at the door and stare back at me so I yell GET OUT OF HERE. I dont understand why they can't learn from me at all.
I dont like teaching the B classes at all especially MB2, and MB3 they have a very hard time listening. I like the older classses because they at least show more respect. All except for Molly that is... Molly is MB1 and she shows a lot of respect. I hope my daughter is like her someday!
Keep Dreaming.
I think most of the other happenings of today would be too personal to write about.
I went out with Christina and we had some soup and salty stick treat it was good! Before that I should rewind to say LAst night we went to A Bakery and had some coffee and in the morning we went to a Japanese restaurant 15 feet outside my building and had Fried Pork it was great.
in the evening I bought some fried Squid and had a snack for my second dinner.
I am keeping pretty busy now and I think I have to make this one end and maybe go Things of My Dream Part 2~
My real dream sits on my left hand side each day at work. We are wrapped in this adventure together and I am rested knowing my girl is something straight out of my dream!
