Wednesday
School breakfast! It wasn’t as great, again, unfortunately…
oh well. But there was an interesting slice of bread I got- sesame seeds
outside, with a piece of cake in the middle! Funky! But it was pretty good!
I chilled with the book The Haunted Bookshop for a while,
fiddling with the computer while Katie planned out most of her lessons and then
she taught after that, with all her crazy cute kids! We ate lunch after she
finished with them and then we headed home.
There, I took the time to shower and brought the heater into
my bedroom while changing BECAUSE ITS SO FREAKING COLD EVERYWEHERE and while we
were at it, we started planning and putting together Grade 9’s music lesson for
that evening because the school internet is just terrible. Katie waited around
afterwards to skype with Andrew who had just gotten off his mission, but I had
class so I went to the school on my own.
Back in the office, I reviewed the lesson and then went to
teach. Class 1 was pretty nutty, actually, it was kind of ridiculous. A teacher
ended up walking in which shut them up immediately- I have so little respect,
apparently… oh well. Just the usual feelings of inadequacy really, haha… Still,
it’s all good.
Then Katie’s kids ran in when I was done and back in the
office- she still hadn’t shown up! I almost panicked and called her to find out
that she was at the school gate and almost there! I met her halfway to give her
the teaching bag, and then returned to the warm office while she taught!
We did dinner when she was finished- not too impressive- and
then Lisa from grade 5, pretty annoying and demanding but super smart and
usually chill wanted to play around so we indulged her a little bit, and then
some more with the other girls strolling through, but eventually went back to
reviewing our lesson for Grade 9, before the girls had to go and we had to go
teach.
Some more kids were in there than usual, yay, good start.
But it was still slow to start and that was pretty ridiculous….
They’re always talking to their friends or doing their
homework, so it takes forever to get the kids engaged lately, although by the
end of class everyone is a chatterbox. We covered music genres and watched a few
music videos and got their personal takes on music, so that went well. They
enjoyed it enough that we didn’t watch any of pirates though we did give them
the option. Not too terrible, but many of them focused on their homework the
whole time which was frustrating.
We went home, watched a ton of the mentalist until about
midnight when the computer began freezing and having issues so we went to bed!
