apple tea

gawwwd it's the annoying classes today at the scary school. Don't wanna teach them..they suck as kids....(they think they're something else but kids....dude..YOU ARE 11!!!). Anyways...

Monday went well...I cycled to school without getting in to any major accidents or causing any. My voice hurts at the end of that day..and I had 5 classes in one day..one after the other...pretty exhausting when you have about 35 little kids screaming loudly. I really don't think I should be doing the special needs class though. I felt completely underqualified. In England I probably wouldn't be allowed anywhere near those kids, unless I'd done some kind of training in 5 different things...here they just throw em at you. Where Amy's special needs class of 21 kids was my fave to teach, this one (only 6 kids) was a nightmare. What can you do when the kids all run riot..have an attention span of a hyper goldfish, and throw themselves on the floor when they feel like watching the ceiling for a while?

I helped the other ALT out with his preparation for the christmas classes after lessons. It's fun coming up with creative ideas, and making stuff! This is a brilliant job if you love artsy things!

Tuesday went well too, classes were great as usual. I had to cycle home in the rain though, which was not so pleasant. I haven't yet perfected the art of holding an umbrella in one hand and cycling with the other. I am scared I might not be able to break fast enough...and I need to be able to do that..the amount of near death experiences I am gaining on my bike is phenomenal!

arrrghhhh...10minutes to go..before I leave for school.....don't make me go!!!

I guess you can't strap the umbrella onto your back in some way? Or some other contraption so you can keep both hands on the bike? or get an umbrella hat! ^^;
