I Should Probably Blog, Huh?

February 19, 2013

   Yeah, so it came to my attention that this isn't so regularly updated. Oops. I guess the problem is that I don't really have much new happening I can talk about.
   The girls went to Poland for vacation this last weekend, since we were exempted from teaching Friday. Apparently the main group had loads of fun and they all got very little sleep.
   I'm behind in my lesson planning, mostly because the method we use for teaching is severely lacking in quality and execution. Well, it's also just optimistically unrealistic as well, I guess.
   I don't really like the atmosphere/attitudes from the other girls here sometimes. It's real uncomfortable having to share an apartment and classes with girls who grow less and less optimistic as the weeks go by. They don't have to be real chipper, but my goodness please don't shut me down when I try to help lighten the situation over here. I know they say it's all sarcasm, but sarcasm does not have to be spoken in bitter tones, I assure you.
   I then recoil and backtrack to say that granted, what can I say about it? It annoys me, sure, but being annoyed gives me no right to whine about the faults of others when I'm not perfect.
   Ugh. Can I just slip into a small coma-like state and keep from teaching and interacting with people for a few days? No? Well, alright then. In that case, hand me that BoM, will you? I have some peace-finding to get to.

Probably will write more later,

Thinking

    I am not looking forward to gym class today. A great way to start off the week: letting the children stand up and go crazy.

    Oh well, I'd sooner teach then spend another day in the apartment, at least.
