When in Korea do as the Koreans Do? I am not sure all the time. Working 6 days a week seems too much sometimes and unfortunately is leading me to burning out. Classes today were not very good.
I am unfortunately having difficulties reaching many of my kids. These are my classes the ones that I have to care about. TC2 doesnt talk to me at all. I make jokes, and I try to be funny~ I try to be serious I have felt every emotion there is known to mankind and they dont care. More homework no homework whatever it doesnt really work.
Lets be honest I am not seeing a way to be effective with them. Maybe I give up easily but seriously I have crossed a line with them.
TC1: There was no Chrono there were only 3 students and the girls failed to show up yet again. I am not sure what is happening anymore but its hard to be a good teacher when this is a private school and therefore the kids dont have to come if they dont want. I wish I had less work to do in some ways and more work in others.
I have no idea what will happen this next week but I do know that I am not teaching my classes until the following Sunday and I am trying to just get us all on the same page. Its going to be a very fast month.
TD2: I finished early much to my chagrin. This class is the only class who doesnt do my homework and its basically ok. I just as soon wish we didnt have TD2 because they are way too busy and 3 out of 4 are Saturday Students so it makes no sense to teach one student. I can't wait until the level ups or whatever that will happen in March.
TD1: It was just a normal regular day with them I am getting used to talking, and just watching them leave right on time as I always finish the same time everytime.
My teaching needs improvement but I am not sure what too do right now.
I think my boss is in Love with me right now.~ Since I got a haircut he cant stop complimenting me and he doesnt care about how bad my teaching is. If he wanted me to change along time ago I wish he had just said that. Maybe out of my dreams ~ my boss is ok with me right now.
My teaching will improve I am sure I just need to follow a good model teacher like Christina and hope that some of her rubs off on me and I can be good!
Carrie showed up at 2 pm she didnt get in trouble because Mr. Jeong didnt notice. She always shows up early and personally I just can't wait until she leaves. I can't follow her work habit and she isn't a very sociable person. She once told me that she doesnt really care for other Koreans. She is kind of self serving and when she interupts my girlfriends work I am so angry.
She is supposedly quiting at the end of the month.
Before work I went to Mcdonalds like usual it seems and talked to my dad. I also talked to my Baby who has the day off and sounds like she is super swamped/inundated with work. I am worried for her. But she doesnt want me to be worried as I am much better Smiling.
I went to Mr. Pizza all by myself I needed some time to think about the time and things happening at work. It was cheap I had Spaghetti and garlic bread for 12,000 dollars.
I listened to a good song in a taxi yesterday called My Katchina Its a good American song I can't wait to share with my Honey later.
Its now almost 9 and I am thinking I am going to head downtown and see the wonders of Gumi~
I keep fluctuating about Gumi. I want to see the entire town and see what this place has to offer because I am in Korea and after 4 months Who is to say what will happen.
I am looking forward to going to a Singing place soon! I hope my throat heals as it feels like someone has slit it and its hard to speak lately. Maybe I am just making an excuse.
How's life on the Homefront?
I am keeping it real here in Gumi for the time being.
Teaching is getting easier and harder at the same time.
Project work
I wanted to say a few things about that.
I have a Reading Advantage Project going so I can hopefully add more later. I am not sure how this will turn out but maybe if I can it could be something the next teacher could use more effectively. I should have started sooner.
I also put together a review for MD2 class so maybe this can be used for a monthly test this month. I hope so. I will continue this on Monday. Hopefully Mr. Jeong isn't upset about the monthly tests because I lost some of them and I can't see myself giving adequate grades meaning anthing lower than a C~ I curve my grades.
Well that's it for today Onward and Upward so to speak. Its Sunday tomorrow and if possible I want to make my baby so happy!
More later
If anyone is out there alive let me know what you are thinking. Go see I am legend! haha
