I guess my night wasn't over after all, as there was still something to do. The lighting of the 'katori senko'. These were a good buy. I lie. A few days after spending $8 on this big tin of mozzy coils for uh, dogs, I found some for humans at $6. Fck.
It's 74 degrees here. Or 24 degrees for the other way that folks read temps. This means that mozzies are still in the 'hood. Fckers. Mozzies like smiley people because only me and Mr Smile get bitten to death in the teachers room. I smile at school. I can't help it. I love my job. Thank god.
I was very funny in today's second year class. There's one kid in that class who totally gets my sense of humor. It's not that I'm making jokes all the time, it's just that I spice up the class by using funny voices that say, 'I really don't give a toss how stupid I look/sound as long as you guys are having fun.' Tsuyoshi-kun, he's awesome, he says stuff to his friends during my mad meltdowns like, 'Ha ha ha, she's lost it again. Ha ha ha. She's crazy!'
I tell ya, it's fun. Par example, when I read conversations in the textbooks cos I have mislaid the text cd,which I often do, I use a high-pitched voice for the males, and a deep voice for the chicks. It's funny. Sometimes, quite often actually, I have tears in my eyes from laughing so much in class. I think the kids love seeing this: a teacher having a bunch of fun in class.
Sometimes the kids ask, 'How do you spell such and such. Can you write it on the board, please.'
The other day a kid asked me to write, uh, forgot, maybe it was 'capital' on the board. So I wrote:
c-a-p-i-s-a-k-w-c-g-s-a-t-d-f-c-s-s-e-h-t-s-j-f-w-x-
Utter nonsense. Tee hee. And they all wrote it. I was cracking up inside. Eventually they realised that I was taking them for a ride and they all got their erasers out. Tee hee.
What a life, eh. Bit different to last year. Bit different to if I had decided to think about myself more and had instead taken up offers to sail on other boats in non-hurricane zones during Mexico's hurricane season. I really can't believe I came back. Stooooooopid decision based on misleading information.
But at least I will be 30,000 dollars richer. That's a lot of money. So far, out of a total of $15,000 in salary, I have saved $13,000. Not bad, not bad, especially when one considers that I had to spend 1000 bucks on a new computer - which I hate cos it's so fucking heavy but I was desperate at the time - and $3000 for the summer flights, plus other misc. expenses. Yeah, I know that doesn't add up but I had some yen when I arrived, left over from the last stint in Japan, and I was using that to get 'set up' so to speak.
So I am on track. I will leave with at least 30k, which will make me proud of myself again; cos right now, I am not proud of myself. I am feeling stupid.
October. November. December.
Please pass with speed.
Please.
Please.
I am finding myself getting really frustrated over the teeniest of things. Like picking something up and dropping it. I've been dropping heaps of things recently. Carrots, forks, books, bits of cabbage.
I'm dropping things because I am frustrated within myself. I often want to scream. I really do. I have so much pent-up energy.
And yet I hold myself together somehow. Sleeping helps. BBC Radio helps. My readers help.
Thank you.
