Making Corrections

As I have said in other posts there isn't much consistency at Yale. Christina and I have been constant since I arrived. We are the only 2 teachers who have survived the Transformations of MR. Jeong.

The Academy is being run by Mr. Jeong, Christina, and myself. We are all really busy with teaching classes and due to the schedule change its causing some mistakes that need fixing.

Today I spent the day trying to better prepare myself for the new arrivals and update information. I think I can spend 3 weeks doing this. Its going to take awhile for it to get back on target and be comfortable again.

I have a great Tuesday and Thursday Schedule. Actually MWF are just bad days for everyone. We all have 6 classes with a limited break. The only good news, is that there is no chances for being watched and interupted.

I think Mr. Jeong needs to ease up on me and Christina his demands are too high and out of this world. In order to appease him the Academy needs more kids. Sometimes I feel like I am just cleaning up messes before they get out of hand. Our boss makes work more difficult than it needs to be. If I just play with the kids right now I think it would be ok. The kids need to have good feeling because they may leave.


Today I worked hard. I updated my email system, put together a textbook for Christina to use in her class, wrote my lessons for the week, taught 4 classes and made some copies for kids tomorrow. I think I need to do more though.

I am hoping to make some big projects before I leave here and hope that in the next 3 weeks I can change the format of the classes.

I am giving names to many of the kids and also I am trying to make a few textbooks more fun.

MY boss is too busy playing Director and teacher that its hard to do anything. Right now I think he is in a nice mood because he realizes the problems of the Academy right now. He needs Christina and I a lot. To be honest I hope to find a way to make his Academy more successful before I leave, but I also realize my limitations.

I will do as much as I can to see that the kids can get their materials they need in order to understand my classes. I hope that this week will go by smoothly and that things can get better.


I know that things are the worst that they can be right now. I see where I can improve things and am attempting to do just that. I am convinced that this is the month of goodness!

Todays Class Schedule!
Ma1: The youngest kids there is no longer an MA2 THANK GOD!!! This means that this class will have at least two months of AMERICAN GET READY and that means just basic play. What is this what is that! EASY

TC2: This used to be my MD1 class. I am making a textbook for them. The bad news is that Liam is now involved and today he was not himself. It was strange. Liam causes so many hardships for me that I was overjoyed when he left. he was a pain to have here. Today he was mature and I was shocked. This is quite a revelation to me.

TD2: This was my old TC1 class. There is a few new girls and some of them used to be old students. I am surprised actually.

TD1: I feel bad for Rose. I am not sure what has happened but Nic dropped, Heidi and catherine were absent and Eric from Tc2 was gone. I sure hope its not just Tc2 girls. I dont care for anyone in that class except Rose. I yelled at Sunha because I am tired of her attitude.

I will be brutally honest. I hope she quits somehow. There are many kids I dont like and its because of how they treat me as a person. They dont take the time to understand me or respect my policies. I think Sunha was going to cry today though because I yelled at her and I didnt hold back.

MR. Jeong wants me to give praise well I dont give praise to a student who draw pictures and stares at the desk while my star student is answering questions and taking notes. I expect students to listen to me. Sometimes its ok to not listen everyone has a bad day but Sunha has had nothing but a bad time. How are you? so so. Sunha? what.... There is nothing there.

Please pray with me that she will leave. I had 17 students now I have 20-22 I think.

Christina has 63 and 7 classes its not right I dont think. I am going to try to handle more soon if I can.

Whatever the consequences of the day bring its not important to let it affect or ruin our lives or day.


I know that things will get better!! I am going to find a new and better job after June..I am worried a lot about that but the answer will come I just have to search for it.


After work I went to a couple tents. I enjoy the Odang and Taboki and other things. I had some fried chicken and relaxed.

BUSY BUSY BUSY

Tomorrow is Wendesday! Its nice...
