Life in the fast lane

I always thought life back home was too slow and it felt like I was just waiting for something to happen. Here its the revers except I spend a lot of time hoping and waiting for things that will not happen. For example, if I finish a conversation I am happy but I always feel like I have to save my conversation for a later time.

I can't wait until time will go slower. I feel like I am at this post each night faster than lickety split... Its another days closure yet again....

Life at the Academy continue to go on. I realize that everything is in a state of limbo and the mass confusion will be there tomorrow same time same place. Its best to just pretend your are somewhere else.

I had a change of heart though today. I like the new Ma1 class. The new girls are so respectful and the boys are well... they listen and are more interesting than any of the boys in MA2 except for Ben. I like him. and maybe Chris. The youngest boy. even though he bit me. Crazy kid Me long...

I taught 6 classes today. I had a nice break after my second class. i did absolutely nothing.

MYwork schedule this week~6-4-6-4-6-4....
I dont like 6 classes.
Mr. Jeong said to me today and I quote, " 6 classes for me isn't work, I just have so much other things to do.... (not Academy work) I dont know how he does it. His academy could be a lot better if he cared more about what was happening to it.

Christina was telling me about one of the kids moms complaining about my homework. I hate my homework it seems unchallenging. You copy the workbook that I did in class and you translate it. They have their student book and vocabulary book with most if not all of the answers. SUKJAE SUKJAE SUKJAE.. its too important there I think its not very helpful. I dont know if the kids do it correctly or if its wrong but there is no way to grade it. I quit looking at my students notebooks a long time ago because there was never anytime. MY boss hasn't said anything to me and I am just waiting for him to do so... He has a hard lesson to learn I think.

Today I was a mean teacher. I warned the kids that I am not going to take any disrespect starting in March. I told them go ahead talk dont listen to me in March I will punish you severly.
Today~ I made a girl cry because she refused to answer me in English. "I dont know" is ok but they dont even try. I used to like her a lot almost as much as Molly but she has gone downhill since levelling up unfortunately. (I blame Carrie)

I gave extra homework to many of the kids andhopefully they will leave.

Back to complaining mom: I am sick of hearing complaints. Tell your children to quit being little SH**s in class and listen to their teacher and then they will understand. IF they can't I seriously hope they leave. It makes Christina and I's job easier. Less kids to say "good job" too.
Our boss's method of praising them doesnt fit well with me. I am not going to be a Kojimar (liar) and tell them Great Job when they say: Nick Crazy, Nick stupid or I dont like Nick, or Christina? or anything else that gets my goat. I am sick of it. I have been bottlenecking things for 8 months this is unhealthy.

Unfortunately I dont think I am a good teacher for Mr. Jeong my teaching philosophy is totally different from his. I dont want to "be there" just to keep his kids so he has the money. I think the kids should be there to learn and if they aren't going to learn from me then they should quit. I have a lot to offer and I want to give my best to the kids who want to learn I think that doing sloppy work just to keep the kids there is ridiculous.
We need a new computer, new copier, a new teacher, less classes, better supplies, a Time Schedule. Kids can only come on the first of every month first monday. I hate getting a new kid this week only to see them quit next week.

Whenever we get a new kid I hope its for Mr. Jeongs class.

I am currently looking for a new job. I want to find a job for when i finish in June. I am not sure what that will be and frankly I am a little worried because I havent found anything yet.
Time is going by so fast.

~I am going to bed happy though for I know that even though work isn't the best I still have a lot to be Thankful for and I hope that never changes.

More soon...
