New classroom, left behind, business trip, and was cursed at…

So from last week until now have been trying to get this new classroom thing in order. Things are ok with that I guess. Though yesterday we were going through the bags in which we threw away a lot. It was a TON of old crap. Eww. Then the sixth grade class moved desks in there. This class does everything for me, thanks to their teacher. He’s nice though. One of the many good ones at the school. I never asked him, he volunteers before I even know what’s going on. Anyways later after the kids are gone from school. Like ALL the kids, we find out that NEW desks are suppose to come so those desks had to be taken out. Say what? Um…Aisha is not going to move 27 desks down all those stairs. Must be crazy. Suddenly I see new guy and secretary coming to get desks. At first it was one by one, then new guy started doing 2 at a time. I arranged them into the hall so they wouldn’t have to keep coming in the class. It was already tiresome. Anyways that was completed. I’ll work on some stuff tomorrow…maybe.

Then after all that, I went back to the teacher’s office. I finished grading something and then something told me to look for the teacher that normally takes me home. Guess what? Gone. She left me behind. Didn’t even tell me she was going. I was like ….well then….someone call me a taxi. FINALLY they called me a taxi. Took it straight to Dominos to eat my sorrows away. Not really because I walked home after my order was done, I didn’t eat lunch yesterday (I don’t do octopus as my main dish, just couldn’t do it), and I had to walk all those stairs up here. Was kinda starving.

But it was so cheap! A large pizza, chicken tenders, and a soda all for barely $20! I was like :O WAAAAAAHHHH?! No regrets~

Then this morning when the teacher saw me she apologized saying how she forgot. How do you forget a person let alone a pretty big one? I don’t know, but she was running around a lot so whatever.

Two people in the office looked up a bus schedule after what happened yesterday and it’s cheaper than a cab. Plus one leaves around 5 or so at the bus stop in front of the school? I don’t want to take the bus. Have you ever seen how those things drive here?! No laws. I swear. But I’m willing to learn how it goes especially since I might be the only one at the school for winter camp. Lucky me. Shoot me. *sigh*

The business trip, found out about it last week from the other 6th grade teacher I never liked much. Yangpyeong’s education office wants us foreigners to get together so we can know each other. There’s only 12 of us, but I’m like eh…whatever fine as long as it’s not hiking. I WILL NOT HIKE! Way too cold for that mess & I’d get hot quick then sick again. I still have this cough from the other week. -.- But it’s not hiking my current co-teacher and the 6th grade teacher are coming with. Yay~! I’m so happy.

You guys better know I’m lying about being happy about that.. 

Then today…5th graders were ok for the most part. Went to lunch. Actually ate almost everything. Left some soup and I can’t do kimchi everyday with my stomach. Sorry…

Then ta-da 6th graders. Went in, everything was going pretty well. It was test day like normal. The spelling part, they did the worst on. The other parts were easy and they did pretty well. After my first group (the 6th grade teacher I don’t like class), barely shut the door and walked passed a window. All of the sudden one is going to stand up and go “F*#$ YOU!" 

My head whipped and next thing you know I’m back in the class with a ton of gasps and fingers pointing to who it was. Let’s just say, they better be glad I was semi-calm about it. Though on the inside I was raging. If you are going to curse me out do it in your language. Sadly I know them in Korean also, but don’t do it in my language sweetheart. Of course I’m going to know what you just said. I warned him and walked out. My co-teacher didn’t even hear it. I was like O.O seriously?! She was right there. Then again I have sensitive hearing. She went in to talk to them. I had to walk around I could not be around any of them. Like ugh…

Later while waiting until it was time to go into the other class that’s next door. The boy comes out to apologize. I accepted it for him, I’m not going to forget though. As if my weeks haven’t been crappy already. Heck this week is already bad. I was LEFT behind yesterday and then this? *sighs* The rest of the kids bowed and said sorry too. I can care less. Yes, I’m probably being mean. It was wrong to do that in the first place. I didn’t come here to be disrespected. 

Go to the second class and some knew what just happened. They talk during their breaks for goodness sakes. My co-teacher warns them. They start off ok. Then bam issues with them too. I’m like WHAT IS WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU?! Like I don’t understand. I’m frustrated that they are acting like this. I wanted to cry from being so upset and hurt. If that makes any sense. Then when they see I’m serious they are all "Oh, I’m sorry.” Like no…sorry doesn’t work anymore. 

I’m done. Nice teacher is fading away. I see why some teachers were mean in school and we heard stories of how they use to be really nice. I UNDERSTAND YOUR PAIN.

Tomorrow no classes besides after school. I cannot deal with these kids if they all decide let’s misbehave some more. I’m not up for that.

I guess I should start counting down. I might just go home for good once my year is up. Or find another school. I love Korea…just not liking where I’m at as much anymore. A few people can make it horrible…sadly. Like there are A LOT of sweet people at the school and even around Yangpyeong. But then you have those that do things in an extreme way that makes me want to ball up and stay somewhere to cry forever. If I’m going to feel like that, at least let me be home.

All I can say, I’ll try to stay positive. I still have those moments where I’m laughing and enjoying life. If those start to disappear to where I feel depressed all the time. I know it’s time to leave. 

Random fact of the day: Yelled outside the window to new guy to tell him goodbye. Why? I have no clue. I saw him walking. I don’t even think I processed what might happen and just did it. Yeah….I don’t do things like that. Last time I did I ended up with a really good friend though haha. Finally said his name too besides when he told me and I had to make sure I pronounced it correctly. *coughs* yeah….that was like 3 almost 4 weeks ago. Yep. So uh…

Now to finish the pizza, listen to music, and probably go to sleep.

Until next time~!
