Sentimental Journeys

This is from my heart and mind....
Its Tuesday and one of the best days of the week here. I have 4 classes and plenty of break time. I like to keep busy and my mind occupied on whatever I can do.
Today's occurrences
Minji otherwise known as Indian Boy brought us Burgers. He is what I will call little Rick. Mature, and able to talk to us like an adult. The difference between him and other kids is that I view him as a student who shows proper respect and attention to Teachers. Unlike his peers he doesn't just play and waste my time. He is very smart and I hope he levels up soon.

I went to Pappa in the morning and had a nice time to just catch up and relax. I put some pictures together to for Christina. I love our pictures so much and hope to get more^^

I had some thoughts I got off my chest today during one of my breaks...Because I live here I can't help but think of everything because I want to figure out the best way to do things.
I made Monthly tests on the old computer I was told it would be available today but it unfortunately wasn't. I didn't ask about it because everyone was busy and even the computer was available during the time I could of used it, it would have been to late by the time it was set up.
My observation is that Miss Jeong gets there at 10:30 (2.5 hours before we do) thats time to clean, prepare and do things that should be done before we get there. When we come the actual work takes place. Christina does her work, Miss J's work and does a s much as she can.

I do what I can. Today I washed cups, cleaned the fridge a little, and did my own work. I was a little nicer to the kids, I felt a little stress lately so I have been meaner lately.

I told Vicki that I am tired of poor kids with bad attitudes. I don't want to teach them if they are going to be horrible little monsters. I punished a kid today because he wouldn't sit down, he kicked another student, and he didn't open his book just for starters. This is typically a normal day too though.


I can do this job because I lost my caring about class and whether its good or bad. I gave a monthly test today in TD1 it was incomplete because of lacking the computer but it was a writing exercise that required a little thinking.

The kids were fairly decent today-the strange ones studied or took some medicine or both and the smart ones were good as usual.


Unfortunately, tomorrow its back to the Hi, how are you, ok Good Bye routine. Next please. I know my blogs are strong and unfortunately not all that good but I am just trying to explore my mind.


Having a meat dinner was wonderful I love our meals together so much. I can't wait until the next one.


I want to unravel dreams. Its all I want to do now. As I have said Teaching and feeling so so is not good---I don't want to give up teaching but I don't want to focus most if not all of my energy into teaching. I believe there is bigger things to be doing.


All I know bottom line, is that my Chagi makes me feel so special and is so amazing in infinite ways that I am not only lucky to have her but I DO know why they call me Fighting Teacher.
I want so much things and will try all.
