My students behaved pretty well yesterday, and asked if they could play a game today. I was wit it! So I came in today prepared with BINGO. They dont have it here and they didnt know how to play the game. I explained it to them, and after we started they seemed to really get into it. So Jojo gave me some pixy sticks (those little colored sugar things that come in packets that look like sticks.). I gave them out as prizes and of course the students started throwin them at each other (the boys) .
And of course my personal favorite, 2 kids put the sugar on the desk and proceeded to "cut" it up like it was crack or something. They seriously looked like they just cooked up a batch, or were about to snort either way, The FUTURE of bulgaria, what can I say?......

And it continues....
So apparently this new hair cut is a hit. One of my 10G tried to damn near CARESS my hair. After class usually a few boys in the class line up at my desk to ask me questions, and just talk to me in general. The girls really could give 2 shits. When thebell rings they start primpin, or playing cards.
So this one boy who annoys the hell out of me came over while I was talkin to one student about a project. He tried to touch my hair. I told him not to be touchin on me or my hair, and that I am his teacher and not his friend or his girl. Of course he continues to try and touch my hair and I had to hit this lil kid and scream on homeboy.
Then the 9G kept blowing kisses at me. I feel like this is on "on the job sexual harrassment" type stuff. I told Poppa and he said he might have to come thru and let these lil kids know whats really good.
I was talkin to Tiffy last night and I just know when she comes to visit all these lil boys gon lose they minds cuz my lil sis is the truth. She real cute and damn near on model status. But yall already know, thats how we do......LOL
But seriously, the harrassment HAS to stop!

Kudos
And just when it seems someone takes one step backwards, someone has the courage to take a BIG step forward. Shout outs to Norah al-Faiz (like I know her personally...) for being appointed by the king as the new deputy minister for womens education. This is a huge step for the people (esp the women) of saudi arabia.
Women there have any rights at all. On CNN they were sayin that in Saudi Arabia women need permission from their husband or a male relative to leave they house, they cant walk outside often without a male with them, they are not allowed to drive and we all know how they must be covered from head to toe. But the younger population that has access to internet and know about other cultures want a change. And rightfully so!
Im not gonna pretent to be a huge history buff cuz I dont follwo what goes on in the middle east at all. But I have heard of the way the women are treated there, so this def is a good look!

WTF?!?!
So anyone who knows me knows that I love to watch tennis (on certain I could swearI play better than Serena....). Anyway, the WTA World Championships are upon us and they are held in Dubai. Well low and behold, 48th ranked tennis player Shahar Peer has been DENIED a visa to the United Arab Emirates. Why you ask? Because homegirl is from ISREAL!!!!
Now I dont know who the hell this chick is, never heard of her AT ALL, and lets be serious, she is ranked number 48, she wasnt gonna win the championship (esp if Serena had anything to do with it). But all that aside, shouldnt she at least get the chance to try (and lose)? It isnt fair that simply because she is Isreali that she should be denied a visa, resultin in her not bein able to compete for the 2 MILLION DOLLAR prize money. This is some bullshit!
This is a testimony to the fact that injustices happen everywhere in the world, and religion, gender, and race STILL play a part in what people do!
Say it with me now, FOOL-ISH-NESS!
saw this on CNN and was very disgusted. Ill cross Dubai off my list of places to see!

Please Stop
So I walked into school today and showed off my new hair cut. Of course all of the teachers were like "Chestita Pricheska" (happy hair cut). They were all excited and congratulated me on how great I looked. And me LOVING to be the talk of the town, I didnt mind it at all.
So I had class today at 7:30, then again at about 9 (both 9G classes). All of the students noticed my hair cut as well and said there peace. So of course there has to be at least ONE fresh pot out the bunch. I go to the second 9g grade class and this one kid immediately says "you look so beautiful" I day thanks and keep it moving. So he isnt doin his work, and when I ask why, he says cuz you are so beautiful I cant focus. Then during the classwork he asked for a hug, then he asked for a pic with me. When class was over, as im leaving he yells out "goodbye sweetie."
Now ive had a crush on teachers before too. In high school I remember very fondly having the hugest crush on Mr. Rascoe (I think he taught social studies and then his cousin was a sub and he was GORGEOUS). Anyway I understand that it happens. But this kid was kinda out of control with all his comments. I was scared to death to take off my damn coat. I had some tight jeans on cuz I havent done laundry and didnt have any dress pants to wear and I swear had I taken my coat off this lil boy wouldve got a hard on! I can just see his lil peewee at attention now.
FOOLISHNESS!

This is why I'M hot....
So lookey what we have here. Just when I thought I hated working here, wanted to beat my students down, talked shit about the bulgarians, cursed my town, and swore Id never return after my service was up, I get this email from my director:
"Actually I wanted to have a chat with you at some point but unfortunately I was facilitating the training in hall Europa, which was in the other building and it interfered with my plan. I hope you were able to work well with your colleague during the workshop. I had a chance to hear from her at the focus group session with Bg partners on Friday. On behalf of your school she spoke highly appreciative of you highlighting your positive attitude and natural way of interaction with students and colleagues. She mentioned the positive influence you have over students and colleagues in terms of using cretivity in your teaching."
Now aint this something?!?! When I saw this part of the email you know I almost started dancing the jig! What wonderful things she MUST have said about me. Im truly touched. This jsut makes me actually want to do more for the school (like get them new laptops for a portable computer lab).
Eat your hearts out!

So you got JOKES huh?
So I am kinda excited to be postin this. Its a joke that one of my 10G students told me. Thursday was a chill day so I brought in Monopoly for them to play, while others played cards. I dont know how we started tellin jokes, but by the end of the class I was thoroughly impressed cuz 1. several of the students had the CAPACITY to tell a joke in ENG, and 2. several of them had the capacity to tell a GOOD joke in ENG. So here is one of the jokes (with my spin on it of course), ENJOY....
A blonde chick walks into a sex shop and proceeds to glance over the merchandise. She sees a red dildo (I gave them that word....hahaha) and asks that saleswoman how much it costs. The lady looks at her and says its not for sale. Disappointed she leaves. She comes back the next day and after browsing sees the red dildo again. She asks nicely, how much for the red dildo. The lady says again, its not for sale. The blonde is kinda upset and leaves. She comes back again and after a while sees the red dildo is still there. She says to the lady, wht cant I buy the red dildo? The salewoman says for the last time lady, the fire extinguisher is not for sale!
good times......

Who's that Girl????
I was tryna take some pics of myself, and of course I found some way to f*ck it up! But at least my body looks good (hey Gym ball that I never use just chillin in the background!)Valentine's Day Post
So for all the lovers out there and people who actually celebrated Vday, I hope you all had a good day. For those of you who know that Vday is just something created by the man for people to sepnd more money, I wish you all a great day also. But I hope everyone didnt forget that Vday is just one day, and that if you truly love someone, you should show it everyday and in every way possible. So Id like to give a special Vday shout out to all my BLOG readers including my bestie Qi, Jojo (twin), Amanda, Mere, Matt, Delly, Alex, Big, and Amel. So all my fam, my mom, Ferg boogie, Tiffy, Ray, and Mike. And of course a VERY SPECIAL shout out to Poppa AND to the number 1 love of my life, TRENT (hahahaha).
As cheesy as this sounds, My heart is MISSING without You! (hahahaha cuz I ate that piece of the cake! lmao!)
Speaking of Poppa, since we cant be together, I thought of something I could do to still celebrate it with him and show him that I was thinkin of him. So I BAKED him cake. Now granted, Ive been meanin to bake the cake for a while now, and I know he cant eat any of it, but its the thought that counts! 
I hope you all can see that the cake looks absolutely scrumptious, but more importantly it says "S ♥ J" and you know what that stands for.......
As cheesy as this sounds, My heart is MISSING without You! (hahahaha cuz I ate that piece of the cake! lmao!)

What a wonderful....
WORD! So my new favorite word ive been toting around is FOOLISHNESS. It really has come to emcompass all that is Bulgaria, and how I feel about almost everything and everybody. And variations of the word are also awesome: TOMFOOLERY, FOOLIRIFIC, FOOLISH etc.
So today I walked into work in the midst of FOOLISHNESS! It just seems to be all around me! So the second semester has begun and I have a new work schedule. They printed out copies of the schedule and distributed them to everyone prior to the semester beginning. So I copied it down and was quite disappointed cuz I had the first period everyday, which on the first shift begins at 7:30 AM.
I planned on giving my students a test today, so I came in early ready to ruin these kids lives cuz I can almost guarantee that they didnt study.
The bell rings
I get myself together
Walk to the class
And to my surprise, there is already a teacher there checking attendance. Im utterly confuse at this point. I walk back to the teachers room, look in the Dnevnik (which is a huge book where teachers have to record what there lesson for each day is) and LOW AND BEHOLD, I dont even have the first period. When am I suppose to teach you ask? From the 4th period!
I couldve been gettin extra sleep! FOOLISHNESS. So now Im sitting in the teachers room waitint for the 4th period to just roll around. I went to a lil shop just outside the school and got some breakfast. The lady workin there asked me if I was a student! Imagine that. I look so young that I could be a Bulgarian student. I told her I actually taught at the school, and she said I looked so young.
That kinda made my day! hahahaha I was seriously thinkin of beginning to use anti-age age cream now, so that when I actually hit my mid/late thirties, Ill look like I just graduated college. A Pretty Young Thang if you will.....lol
Have a Great Day Folks!
