Eugene said very specifically not to blog about him today, so this post is not about him. :)
*** The other day Liying asked me, "Ms Straaten why you emo?" and I was like x_x because I was really tired and crampy and irritable.
Today was worse. Today got bad from very early on. Then it steadily got worse... One by one things would happen on top of each other, until at 1120 when it was time for 3E5's lesson I was really ready to slaughter someone - anyone - with my bare hands. Poor things, I made them write essay. But I was stunned at how they couldn't answer the question... You know, I feel very bad whenever I hear how many tests and whatever strange remedial stuff they have to do, but then I feel worse when I realise there are so many things they don't know for English. And though I want to teach all these things, I don't know how much they want to listen. Sometimes it feels like I'm expected to be the joker teacher all the time, play only, no need to really study. After all how do you study English? You can't. You just keep using it over and over again. You read, you write, you speak, you listen. But, I ask you, (rant)
WHERE GOT TIME? GOT THIS THING THAT THING SORRY MS STRAATEN WE GOT A LOT OF TESTS YOU KNOW
I KNOW LE! Then English how? Never mind la? Score distinction for everything and then fail English what's the point? (/rant)
Then I remember they really have A LOT of things to do and remember. And I feel really, really bad that English doesn't come as naturally to them as it does to me. :(
*** So I was telling Yew Liang that I was in a bad mood later in the afternoon because someone scolded me for something that wasn't my fault. Raow. I was going to write about it but I think I should just let it go. I just need time to cool down and cool off, before I say a lot of things I cannot take back. Hahaha sendthisguytohell@hotmail.com.
*** I can't decide which was worse:
1) People playing DOTA during CME 2) People inviting me to play DOTA with them 3) People playing Icy Tower during CME 4) People offering to teach me how to play Icy Tower 5) People demanding for my Friendster page 6) People demanding for my MSN 7) Erin and Joshua fighting over who gets the bigger page in the Underwear Diaries for today (one never wear this, one never zip that) 8) Eugene thinking that Freerice.com Vocab Level 14 is enough to beat me (it's not, my best level is 48) 9) People forgetting to turn off the computers (this was yesterday) 10) People forgetting to turn off aircon (this was today)... It's ok. Domestic Helper Ms Straaten was on hand to deal with it. -.="
*** My friend googled "Ms Straaten" and found all my students' blogs. I am highly amused!
*** Because I really need something to laugh at, I decided to go to this site where I watched the most hilarious video I've ever seen in my life. It totally doesn't make any sense and that's why I love it. It's called the Llama Song.
