Monday and now Tuesday has mainly passed.
Yesterday was pretty good, I did the fairly bog standard fruit lesson to teach adjectives, the kids were not exactly very forthcoming with ideas, just greedy for the food. Overall the lesson did go down quite well and I was able to use the same lesson twice for two different classes. I also taught the difference between singular nouns and plurals to another class, but due to their level I was told not to bother teaching the rules. It feels wrong not teaching the kids how to use plurals and leave them just guessing wildly, but I assume I should follow the advice of others at this early stage at least.
Nothing much else happened yesterday, I worked towards finishing off my prep for today, but Mr A made sure he got in my way, by 'taking me out' for a meal at lunch time, which I paid for...I don't mind that but I was unable to enjoy it because it was so spicy. Also on the bus back from the winter camp he decided he should sit horribly close and invade my personal space. I have to say generally I am not affected by Korean's want to touch each other so much and me to some degree. But I do still have personal space I would rather you not step into unless I am going out with you or the like.
Well that's enough of that.
Today was not as good on the lesson front. My lessons generally fell apart or did not last long enough. However I did not fall apart as I have in the past. Instead I just threw in some games, sure they were not always directly related to the lesson, but hangman is still English related and it's better than total chaos.
After winter camp was quite good. I went to the local shop and picked up a bunch of chocolate, just brands I knew: twix, kit kat etc but they also have dove, which is like galaxy...ish, still not right but better than that Hershey's crap. I also had a pot noodle and that was that. It wasn't a great meal (and no I have not eaten all of the chocolate, I just bought it while it was there), but it was edible and that's what counts, plus it also meant I did not have to eat with Mr. A.
However I have just made a discovery, Mr A turned my fucking heating up. I keep it at about 22 degrees he's pumped it up to 30, why? It's not his room and I know how to use the heating system, if I wanted to boil to death I would have either cranked up the heat myself or put together a nice pot of water in which to cook myself. Fuck, he just gets more annoying.
Bah, I was going to end this just saying that things have not been eventful outside of the winter camp teaching today, but that's right royally pissed me off. Well at least i don't have to teach 4 hours at the winter camp tomorrow, there is a 2 hour slot for PE, where we'll be playing dodge ball with the kids. No doubt it will have weird American rules and the like, but it should still be good fun. Right well I may as well be off.
Later.
