Dodgeball?

Right well today I taught two different classes at the winter camp at the same level as normal and I was teaching Present Simple statements as well as yes/no questions.  This lesson did not go down all that well.  There was plenty for the kids to do and I had also planned to play 20 questions, but the kids just couldn't be arsed.  Most just pretended to go to sleep and the few that participated did not quite have a good enough grasp of the English language to properly play the game.  I just about held it together, but in reality it sucked, but hopefull I have got the meaning across to them...not really much I can do about it though if I haven't, not in this winter camp system anyway.

Well after the two classes today we had PE which just equated to really long games of dodge-ball and a lack of proper rules as well as a biased judge.  Yes I know that when your team doesn't win you often throw around the 'biased' word, but honestly this women really was.  Well anyway my team got anhilerated twice, but it's not really a surprise since they made the teams the classes, which meant one would be the slow kids.  I really didn't mind leading the less able kids, but it meant without a mix they would clearly get thrashed...and they did.  At first I was not so bothered since the kids were still having fun, but at the end of the day I found out that the winning class would get lots of stamps and these stamps will lead to the 'best' class getting pizza.  I get the feeling that they'll all get some in reality, but given how many the winner got I think the teams were ridiculous.  The winning class got 7 stamps and the losers - us, got 1.  Which on the scheme of things is insane.

Well aside from the unfair standards, it was fun, but I became knackered since the native teachers couldn't be out and it was my job to protect my team, but that was near impossible.  Also I hurt my hand, got one of my fingers bent back, ah well it's only my left, so I'll be fine.

After classes and dodge-ball was over with I went for some kimbap.  It was really good actually, I'll have that again.  However the constant irritant was there also.  He is now attempting to befriend the other whiteys.  I am getting to the point where I want to tell him to piss off.  Because not only does his obvious stuff irritate me, but generally when you don't like someone you notice all the other stuff that with a friend you would ignore.  For instance he has no manners regarding belching or farting, he sucks his teeth for like a quarter of an hour after eating and he cranks up his gospel in the car...Gah!

I guess I'll go do some prep now for tomorrow.
