Eventful Valentine’s Day…last day of school year, new guy, co-teacher, too many compliments and etc

So today is finally Friday! And Valentine’s Day. I’m not dating anyone and I just don’t like V-Day so this post isn’t focused on that. Sorry if anyone thought otherwise. But yeah…

This week I fell, got a ride from new guy, did a lot of walking, bought cakes, said goodbyes and sitting at my desk watching videos. 

So Tuesday I bought two mini slices of cakes for new guy. Ok I’ll post the pic for those.

See nothing too serious. Since he took me home quite a lot and I knew he was leaving. Gave them to him Wednesday. He gave me a good laugh, because he was surprised. I told him I’d get him something. I’m always good on my word. We basically ate beside each other everyday besides today. Get to that later.

Rest of the week was eh…a headache since Wednesday, arm still hurts from Monday blah blah blah.

Now for today.

First, since it’s the last day of the semester and a ton of other stuff, I decided to wear something that is NOT black, gray, or dark blue. FINALLY~ This cold weather is killing me because it’s the same colors basically non-stop…since November. *sigh*

Anyways, wore my peach/pink colored blouse for the first time and less layers. Did my makeup like normal, did my hair like well normal and switched my earrings. So nothing serious changed. Got to school before everyone still.

When I went to the office to fix coffee later and some co-workers saw me in the hall and was all O.O “omg Aisha~ so beautiful! Diet?” I’m like uh…you guys saw me less than 24 hours ago. Just smile and nod…smile and nod.

Some students saw me. Basically same reaction. I’m like alright….

About an hour later co-teacher shows up and it starts again. *takes a deep breath*

Go downstairs to go to the graduation for the 6th graders. That’s when I saw more teachers. Guess what?

“OMO AISHA SO BEAUTIFUL” blah blah blah While I’m still like O.o really? I saw you like less than 24 hours ago what’s wrong with you guys?

Then I bump into new guy wearing a suit. He was rushing somewhere but at this moment stopped all :O and didn’t say anything but look. I’m like omg what’s wrong? Spider behind me? *turns slowly to check* ok no spider. What is it? After like a minute or 2 he finally says good morning stares and then realizes he was doing something. So he waves and runs off. Remember this is all in the hall. So I’m like ok…good morning? Normally it’s like oh bump into each other say hi/good morning and keep walking. Not let’s stop and stare for a moment and then finally remember to move and speak.

Go inside the place and parents are looking. I keep hearing “Oh English teacher…pretty.” In Korean of course. I just stand there like ok…pretend you hear nothing~

New guy was like 2 feet from me the entire time. Even if he moved around. Talks to a student, looks at me. Dude I’m not the kid. Though one boy was asking who new guy was. I love understanding some Korean now. I was laughing in the corner. It was hilarious. Then once it was over I saw him looking and I ducked out before the crowd of parents came rushing through. That is why I’m near exits almost everywhere I go.

Bump into vice principal, even though I saw her earlier. She decides to compliment some more even hugging me. I’m like uh….what’s going on?

Get into the office with my co-teacher and the vp, finally seeing some of the office ladies. What happens?

More freaking out and compliments. Asking “Diet?” I’m just like “Yeah diet.” whatever. Basically it is. I don’t eat the same anymore and I get more exercise. I went on a diet without even planning it. *shrugs* Anyways…The way they were acting you’d think a super hot Korean dude walked through the door behind me, but nah just me. *sigh* I wish it was a super hot Korean dude that came in…a girl can dream.

Anywho, I hurry back to my room and next thing I know my co-teacher is talking about lunch. Most of us were going out. So I get my stuff. Go to the office and that’s when the Principal sees me. Why oh why?

It starts again…

They went on for 10 minutes! Doesn’t help some co-workers that didn’t see me yet saw me then. So they joined in the convo. Seriously 10 minutes about how I’m losing weight. How the color of my top compliments my skin tone. How my hair is nice. Blah blah blah. While I’m standing there like “omg….don’t care. This is so freaking weird.”

Get to the restaurant (for those wondering, new guy wasn’t there) and they are like “EAT EAT!” It’s like I am eating…

After lunch, said goodbye to my co-teacher and was told I can go home. Yes~I didn’t even put on my other jacket and stuff. I felt comfy. Walked home, took like 20 minutes since the restaurant was right there from the bridge.

Then I randomly decided to get cake from the cafe that’s like a block from my place. I figured why not? It’s Valentine’s Day and they have nice cakes. Got a slice of strawberry cake. They actually have strawberries in between the layers. And I ate inside. Alone~ The cafe was empty shockingly. So I enjoyed my cake feeling pretty good. Then came home. Not a bad Valentine’s Day or day in general.

Isn’t it pretty? It tasted like Heaven~

Though I’m going to miss the 6th graders. I had to hold back my tears. They were the first students I had to teach, my first open class, and well I loved all of them. I can’t write too much or I end up crying. I’m tearing up now. *sigh* Here’s a few pics

New guy in the way

On to other things…

Let me say this…about the compliments and stuff today.

IT’S SO WEIRD! 

Honestly it makes me super uncomfortable hearing it once let alone more than 20 times in one day. It creeps me out. I don’t know why but it does. Like I have people say I’m pretty and whatever here and there. Even then it bothers me. Then to have it like thrown at me basically all day. My god…*shivers* 

Also, I still have to go into work and teach a Spring camp thingy. It’s for kids that are from low-income families. It’s funny because I was wondering if I could volunteer or something, but hey this works. I still get paid~ Though I just found out…Wednesday, so I don’t know what I’m suppose to teach or anything. I’ll just go with the flow and see where it takes me. I don’t know who my next co-teacher is either…if I have one. A lot of people are speaking more English now at work too. Maybe they see I’m not going to attack them if they say something wrong. I don’t know. Oh well.

Until next time~
