A web of Chaos

well its Friday and thank god its ...over.

My day started out promising with a wonderful lunch at my home with my Darling. She's an amazing cook and she is with me. I hope it is always this way....me and her together. She makes me so happy. I can't express enough.

After lunch we went to work. Work on Friday is always better than Monday through Wednesday. We drank our cocoa because its rainy today and we enjoyed the short time together before mass confusion erupted.

There is this one girl with a cracked up voice that just makes my nerves run wild. She is so annoying. If she would talk to me about something important than it would be good but its just nonesense a bunch of mumble jumble. Today there were so many problems it wasn't even funny.

I feel sorry for Mr. Jeong because he is slowly losing control on his Academy and I dont know how I can be of help to him. The youngest kid in the Academy bit me today on the hand. Honestly, I felt like quitting but one look at Christina and I said to myself I can stay until June at least. I dont think that bite is very bad since there is barely a mark but my hand is so cold and worse my boss told me I just have to find a better way to control the kids. He lets the kids run wild and then I get in trouble.

I could go to him with so many problems about this place but I choose to keep my mouth shut. I have stopped caring about the progress reports because their attitudes mean nothing. I used to think of myself as punisher just to get rid of kids because they are worthless and unnecessary.

I have had so many kids leave my classes and many others in the younger classes. Kids are coming and going faster than I can learn names, I dont really care anymore.

I want to be a good teacher but its hard to care when things are running a muck on a daily basis. So now I recieved a minor bit mark in Korea. I have seen enough complaining and poor teaching by Carrie Sungzanim (teacher) to last me the rest of my experience.

It used to be better when it was just me, christina, pearl, and mr. jeong. I think Mr. Jeong made some mistakes by trying to add on more classes and also hiring another teacher. This was a mistake.

Anyways, today there were 15 kids in the office who should have been waiting for the teachers in the classroom and nobody can do anything about it. I am OTL about this because our boss wants a rigid structure. Well its hard to follow especially when he is late to the classes himself --- in my class I watched as he showed up late to at least 2 classes-10 minutes at least.
I finished my classes and felt like just leaving.

It made happy to know that at least my Babe's classes went well. After work we went to Loteria to have a Burger. At least I did she wants me to gain weight so I am trying to gain. Being with her makes me so thrilled my bad feeling goes away.

Unfortunately this was how the day went and the Irony is, that its a day I wanted to make very special because its Christina's American Birthday. I guess I can do more when its her Lunar Birthday next month.


So, thats my post for the day. ;;

A very strange day indeed.

Tomorrow I work at 9 am
