Bad Day..
 
Had a horrible day today talk about bad luck..
First my computer crashed in the morning I did a critical update and my computer was a "smoking crater" Then whilest I was trying to fix it I noticed my keyboard was half functional. New Keyboard YEY (except I need to save cash for my trip back to Canada). 

I also stoped by the hospital to get my nose checked out again.. My hematoma keeps reoccuring due to my bad luck and stupidity.

On saturdays I train in an another gym this gym is in another city so I have to ride for an hour to get there. Well half way there the trainer called me and told me that he had to cancel because of his dad's birthday. So being stuck on the bus I finished the trip. Decide that I might as well go buy a new keyboard. 

I decided to call a friend to check out if there is any tickets available from Japan to Canada. No luck :(

Previous night a friend invited my to a party at a beach it was supposed to be at 5. I thought to my self just kill couple hours around the city. The subway ride there was 50 minutes so I hop on and about 1 stop short from my destination friend calls me and tells me that the party has been changed to 9. I am WTF.. 5 Hours to kill screw this I'm going home I am to tired. I need to fix my puter anyway. So I get off and hop on the subway to go the other way. About 10 minutes later I remembered that there is a Bus depot where I was going originally, GREAT 50 minute ride one more time. I get to the bus depot get on the bus fall asleep get back to my apartment just to realize I lost my keys.(Ironicaly) Luckily I had spares on me.. 

Oh the Humidity..

Its been a trying week the humidity and the heat is driving me nuts.

School installed new Airconditioner Units in the school but they haven't installed the controls for over a month. I asked when they will turn them on and the school said in July.. Doesn't school end in July? (In Short yes it does) So they are gone run AC for 20 days. .. Whoopee.. 

Any who here is an interesting lesson excerpt. Well Log from a Skype chat:

ME:
There is one song goes like doo doo doo doo doo He is good.. He is good He is wonderful that is my uncle He is good.. Uhm like WTF ? !  Is this a canibal song? These two animated characters are doing a jig and in head they are munching on a severed arm with blood all over them saying he is good

Friend:
when they first sang it it sounded like they were singing about eating shit.

ME:
Drove me nuts.. He is great He is kind but not fucking good. Good is to broad of an adjective.. Good at piano or something but if you leave it He is good I think your gone fucking munch down on him..
I told my kids about this I kinda role played it and they couldn't stop laughing..

Man who ever came up with some of the stuff in the English textbook was on a Soju trip.

Frustrations....

The whole point of having a foreigner in the classroom is to expose kids to native English. Today I had the unfortunate case where I had to teach with another teacher because my regular co-teacher was ill.

I like using mostly English in the classroom because it forces children to think independently so they have to do actual work in their head. Today I had to teach with a teacher with a higher level English and she translated every word that came out of my mouth. Seriously what is the fucking point of me even talking, the kids have to do no work. They don't need to listen to me because it requires work on their part, they just do the human thing and wait 30 seconds to get a complete and concise translation from the Korean teacher. I wanted to tell her to stop translating because kids are no longer paying attention. They looked bored out of their heads. No wonder kids never learn shit for English in this country, they have to be taught English from Korean Teachers which don't use a single word of English out of their own volition.

*Frustrated*

Fridays Suck Ass.

I hate my 2nd school.. I still can't believe that a school with so few children is allowed to exist. Seriously South Korea is not that big. Wouldn't it be cheaper to hire a bus to take these kids to a bigger school. IE My main school which is 2 Kilometers aways. I swear there is more administrators then teachers at this place. Classes have about 10-12 children in them which is nice but I find the quality of the teachers here suck compared to my main school. I find KTs at this school are the masters of screwing the pooch. But alas its the Korean way, even tho its a complete waste of tax payers money. Its really not surprising why Private Education aka Haqwons are such a huge industry here. Public education barely delivers on anything let alone anything that resembles a proper Education.

But alas I have no choice in the matter, and to be honest with you I don't give a shit either. Its not my country I am considered a 2nd class citizen since I am an E2 worker. Screw it I don't care about these kids once they are out of my jurisdiction. While they are in my class I expect them to learn and I do try hard to be a great teacher while I am in session. Outside of school I don't care if little Sujin or Jinhoe become a friggen street cleaner, food delivery person or a CEO of Samsung.

Edit

Since there is no such thing as mentally diseases in this country I am stuck teaching special Edu children in my main classes. I am an English teacher and have no skills dealing with special children and I can't afford to spend 1 on 1 time with kids with those special requirements. I have 679 other students that I would have to spend time with. So in short I had a Tard child (Tard blog reference) throw an absolute shit fit over a simple rule.
