WOW

What a day....actually quite good if I do say so myself. I had class 4th period, which meant I got to sleep a lil bit later than usual. I didnt really prepare anything to do with my students. There are still some slackers who havent taken the test. So while I had class, they would have to take it which meant I had to watch them like a hawk to make sure they didnt cheat, which means there was free time for the other students.

The 2 students who took the make up were done fairly quickly. I honestly was kinda happy. I had prepared some stuff to do with the students the other day, but was reluctant to actually do it cuz I know a lot of them just wanted to relax. In the 9th class they just wanna play cards and talk all day, so I assumed thats what the 10g wanted to do as well. But it never hurts to have some stuff to do on standby.....

Which is awesome. When the students finished early, I could sense that the 10g wanted to do something. They all looked so bored and pitiful. So I asked if they wanted to continue doin nothin, or if they wanted to do this activity I thought of the other day. Mind you, I literally can pluck something out the air and make it an activity. They were up for it, so we began.....

I decided to focus on speaking, and games for these last few days of class. I came up with a topic, in this case communication, and centered different activities and discussion questions around that. So today we talked about different ways people communicate (via phone, internet, letters, sign language). Then I asked what is necessary for communicating with a person. We played the telephone game, where you whisper something to someone and it trickles down a line of people and the last person has to say what they hear. It was quite fun and that helped them understand the question (you have to speak the same language, speak clearly, be able to understand the person etc) Then we talked about people who cant speak at all, and how they communicate. That lead into a miming game I thought of. Boys vs. Girls vs Me. I had a list and told them to think of words that could be mimed. The other two teams would watch someone mime a word from their list and if someone from the other teams could guess the word, they get a point, if not, the mimer keeps the point. It turned out better than I thought. The boys won, by a very wide margin (I had 1 damn point), but it was very fun.......

The next class was excited about the game and they did well also. My last class was the 9g and they seemed so bubbly today. I walked in and they just knew I would give them free time. Some of them were huddled around a table and began to scream for me to come over and show them how to shuffle cards. I demonstrated my superb shuffling skills, and showboated for a while, before I broke out the UNO cards and they began to get a game going. They seemed to really have fun, and even tho I just watched, I couldnt help but join in the fun by laughing at mistakes and comments people made. Then one of the girls showed me some magic tricks that were actually pretty good.

A teacher invited me to cafe and altho I had my reservations, she is really nice so I decided to go. Butterflies were clearly flyin from my wallet, but I figured if I got a coffee, I should be ok cuz I eventually found 57 stotinki strategically hiding in my bag. I dont even drink coffee....SAD, I know....

I talked with about 3 of the teachers and altho I didnt understand EVERYTHING, I must admit I held my own. WE talked about piracy, illegal downloads, the lady who has to pay millions cuz she got busted and some other stuff *pats self on the back*

It was rainin bout time we were ready to leave. I felt a bit stupid cuz the one damn day I choose to wear open toe sandals, it rains!!! What an idiot.....But the rain felt good on my humongous toes....lol

Im sittin here now waiting for the rain to subside so I can go to the supermarket and buy food. Ive been tellin people all day how I have just ketchup, jelly and ice in my fridge. I figure I should do something bout that, and of course, THANK the LORD the supermarket takes credit cards, cuz i am bummin it something serious these days. I was thinkin I should go now tho. Its just a light drizzle out and Im sure not many people will be at the market, which means I dont have to worry about being a walkin freak show for these people. I get to tense and uncomfy when I feel people staring at me......

Overall, a surprisingly pleasant day! and it gets better, im on the second shift tomorrow (class begins at 1). Why this is happening in the middle of the week and the end of the damn month, I dont know and dare not ask any questions. But the 10g also told me that they are goin on an excursion fri and wont be in school mon and tues (the last few days of work) and if the 9g decided not to come (god willing) then that means tomorrow is my UNofficial last day, since I dont work fri. I suppose Ill have to check in mon and tues. but im gonna shoot the gun and say my last day is tom......

alright folks, its that time again. Im gonna go pretend I have a life, altho we all know ill be layin in bed watchin tv/runnin to the comp to check my email like every 3.2 seconds. Good day all....
