Changes
Theres more change, i have more work now to keep me busy, which is good. We got another female teacher, it's cool cuz im really out numbered by teachers. This new teacher speaks good English and it will be fun talking to her. And yes, she is cute. HAHA, gonna get in trouble. It's good because the original 4-1 class room with like 41 kids is finally split into two classes. Now im just waiting for them to split the grade 6-1 class cuz they are the worse. They give me the biggest headache but its ok, i had fun today playing 'Simon says' because today's lesson was about body parts and action. I finally got a curriculum from the Kindergarten teacher, dont know how she was teaching without one. She then said it was a headache making it up, she only did a curriculum for like 6 weeks and get most her stuff online... im like i have to do grade 1-6 lady, and i get a headache everyday, but its my job. She is lucky she is cute or else i'd bite her head off lol. Overall, constant changes are hard to adapt to but they can make you happy, hopefully.
My cell phone is awesome!
Did I tell you? I got my cell phone and im discovering how cool it is... let me brag, i mean list all its options: I got two cameras, one extra for self portraits, you can video call, FM radio, brain teaser games, golf etc... eng/kor dictionary with vocab and abbrev, subway map, unit convertor, world clock, stop watch, IrDA (wth is that???), avatar/font/background/signature/etc settings for text messaging, special sound and light effects, muvee and phot studio, and so much more. ANd i got this phone for like free (still cost me 50k for activation and sim card). Good deal right? (some kid is playing Maple Story beside me, damn i miss it but it took 3 years of my life, i was level 91 when i retired)
The 1/4 life crisis and supersition is over
My cousin told me that every 12 years is the worse year of your life. It happened around 12 years old and again around 24 (23-25). Alot of bad things happened to me prior to my graduation, moving to a new home, and completing my 2nd goal (which is to TESL in Korea). Bad relationships, family issues, personal-self evaluation, car accidents, financial disasters... all but the past. Things have been picking up and looking good. Im really happy that its over. But its true... every 12 years you face a terrible unlucky phase in your life which may make or break you for your 30's. I can finally live without worrying about the typical issues many face in their 1/4 life crisis (you can read about it if u search).
Visitor
WOW... i get lots of comments and interest from people who want to come to Korea now, hahaha my advertising skills are still sharp. It really turned out to be a good year to go to Korea, it just seems like everything has fallen in place, i get lucky with everything, alot of people are doing the same thing or just visiting in Korea this year, im happy. There are so many things i wanna show my sister because i know she will love it. Everything here is cute lol. I havent seen a whole lot of Korea, but in so far i love it and im sure anybody would too.

I've been hearing some tips for classroom control, not sure about your kids but theres usually only 1 or 2 that make the rest of the class loud in mine. I either move them beside a quiet person. Stare at them without emotion until everyone is quiet, and then for like 10 seconds more. Bring the trouble maker up to the chalkboard and have him/her raise their arms and hold them like that for 10 minutes...that one is pretty effective, embarassing and tiring. Lastly, send a kid outside the room for however long. Are you working at a private school or a government? Good luck. Oh and what time is it there compared to Ontario, 12 hours for me.
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks man. Its not so much that, its just they're wild kids and lots of energy. Its like that every class, i will try it if i have to though, thanks. Its 13 hours ahead of ontario here. I work for the government, you?
