third time's the charm

you know that saying. you have to try something at least 3 times for it to work. that phrase so doesn't work with them kids. it's the third day of work and i'm still trying to get a hand at controlling the kids

now, for a fact, i know that i need and have to take Chinese language classes so i can communicate with my students better. well at least i'll know they aren't insulting me to my face. and, i think i want to do it in secret. now i'm imagining myself walking into class and suddenly speaking in mandarin, the expression on my students faces would be priceless. father did say i'd earn more respect from the students. it's going to take a long time for me to take those language classes 'cos i have to start planning for my financial future. it was mother's idea that i do so. save up for a rainy day, she says but i know it's actually code for save up for your marriage in the future. *insertsarcasticfacehere* i swear she's caught one of my aunts' bug, the whenareyougonnagetmarriedbug. sheesh

well anyways, today's drama is...

The Sulking Queen. jengjengjeng jeng. harhar!

there is this one student, i call her SQ ( read: Sulking Queen ), well i don't actually call her that out loud. it's a name i gave her secretly. well, i've never bitched about people and wrote down their names, never have and never will start.

this girl is just the typical wannabe "Teacher's Pet". sumpah tak menjadi sebab aku find her irritating. she's always complaining and crying, yes she's one of the crybabies in class. well today was no different. the day started with them getting along well, then 'chaos' erupted. everyone started quarreling. well i had to shout at them to be quiet and then asked them to explain one by one, SQ kept on interrupting.

in the end the cause of the whole 'chaos' was the fact that SQ said something about one of my other students and couldn't take what the other student said back to her.

the other thing that i don't really favour is that she always keep asking me to help her with her homework or assessment. what am i? a walking answering machine?

so when i told her she should TRY, TRY to do it on her own first then come back to me when she's done so that i can go through with her the mistakes she made. it'd be a better learning experience for her anyways. you know what she did? she had the cheek to make the imsulkingface at me and then went back to her table and then didn't do anything.

i've already made it up in my mind to be fair to all my students. and i'm going to stick to that decision. nothing is going to sway me, well i hope nothing will ever make me take back that decision. hehs

okay bye! wait for tomorrow's drama though i'm fervently hoping that no drama will occur. contradicting much?
