Egh. 0.o
I had a hard day. Yesterday was hard, too. I stayed up late because my class the day before hadn't gone well. Then I woke up very very early.
I didn't do anything today, which is somewhat aggravating since I have so much to actually do..
I did accompany Yiyi to one of her classes. This was a good idea, for many reasons. I learnt that you actually need to be a lot more severe with Taiwanese students than Canadians. Why? Because Taiwanese kids are brats. I hate to say it, but it's true.
It's like nine times the most spoiled child you've ever met. All in one lovely group of screaming, innatentive brats.
So I learnt many things today.
The class ended really badly though. One of the kids was running around, playing on the junglegym. She fell off and cracked her head against the slide.
I've never been so scared in all my life. She was sceaming, and there was blood *everywhere*... Yiyi and the principal left me in charge for the remaining hour and had to rush her to the hospital.
The thing that really freaked me out was how little the other kids cared. She was screaming, and she needed stitches, but they didn't pay it any mind. They just kept playing.
(Culture shock x 10)
I'm still shaking, and this happened hours ago. Hours and hours..
I've finally been given a bit of a schedule now, though. Here it stands:
Adult Demo Class- Sunday and Monday. 1 hour each.
Elementary Demo Class- Tuesday- 1 hour.
Kindergarten Demo Class- Wednesday. 1 hour.
---
Adult Classes-
Women's Class- Wed, Fri (1 hour, 30 minutes)
Men's Classes- Tuesday, Thursday (1 hour, 30 minutes.)
So I'm working... nine hours this week.
When I get into doing elementary school, I'll be doing six more classes a week on top of that. I'll be making 300 dollars a week. 1200 a month. Plus whatever I earn as a tutor.
This is the hardest job I've ever done.
Thanks to everyone who commented on my last post.
...
Okay, thanks to the one person who tried to cheer me up. I appreciate you commenting so often and being so nice. I was really depressed when I put that on my personal journal and nobody said anything.
