3 Regal Swans floating in J Construction

A Day to catch up and reflect. A chance to catch your breathe before the Friday overload and the Saturday Swagger come into play.

Today~ I had 3 classes and was able to catch up in some ill-begotten work that I have neglected due to emergency happenings that keep popping up for me here. This emergency being my Visa and Criminal Checks.


Christina, Vicki and I are the three regal swans. On the surface we are shimmering barely breaking the surface but underneath our feet are swaddled in the murky water that is the foundation of the Academy. Maybe this is an overstatement.

Christina, Vicki and I always talk about our goals. The three of us are perfectionists looking to better our education. In my opinion, I think we are three good teachers who are meant for something higher than checking up on the kids and trying to keep them in this school.


I would like to make a note back to my previous post about the disrespect the kids give me. I have learned to laugh or shake things off because if I let each one of them get under my skin I would be pulling hair out left and right and my limbs would be flung off my body in a fit of madness. Kids say the weirdest things at the most innapropriate times. Its expected by nature they are simply immature and obviously just kids. But there is a learning curve. I don't see one present here.

When they don't stop after being told to its a problem. When they do the same thing the next day its huge problem. When everybody dismisses their behavior and doesn't care its problem. There is a taboo that even kids no about regardless of age. Also if you get burned you learn to not play with fire again...this isn't the case here.


Today the Academy was in the middle of a construction Zone. Mr. Jeong and Miss Jeong were cleaning the back room and getting rid of a lot of junk and also cleaning up. Maybe Spring Cleaning, and I think also a resource hunt in order to try to make the Academy better. While this was going on Vicki, Christina and I sat in our office making small talk, (they were) sewing, and I was pondering and resting. Its Thursday!

Truth be known, for all of the quirks that the three of us have in our own ways we do have a regal approach to work. I do care more about my work than I did before so I do try to put in the most I can each day.


Lately, I am seeing that saving money is more important than it was before. I have saved quite a bit but I need to try to save more. I am trying to find ways to save more money. I think I need to go to the grocery store more frequently instead of going out to eat.

I want to save more money, and I also want to work harder for more money. I did some of my own spring cleaning and I will continue to do so for the next few days. I am going to tear my house apart room by room cleaning it and getting rid of junk.

I am a determined individual and while a lot remains to be done I am fighting for more.

More soon to follow
