i can't believe i'm missing jamie oliver for this crap. the students can be quite assholes. there was this kid who told me he had diarrhoea and only appeared when there was 5 mins left to lessons. i'm so pissed.. i complained to his form teacher but she's such a softie. i was wishing his form teacher would be a real meanie who'd holler at him.. i'm so gonna get him for it. i'll make life hell for you git! *crnges*i have 5 periods of pe tomorrow.. i don't mind pe as much but it's so taxing.. been straining my voice so everyone can hear me and by the end of the day my throat is so sore.. *sigh* the minute i get home, i shower and take my afternon nap.. teaching is taking so much out of me. and i have to teach everyday for the next 5 months. come on rose.. think of the money. oh but the sec ones are such darlings :) they're so adorable :) it can be very disheartening really... it's so much harder to get everyone's attention when you're teaching cme (no exams and with topics like "cultivaing our integrity" it's way too cheesy).. i thought it'd be easy peasy but i realise that it's so much harder. and these people know sooo little it can be frustrating. i'm unable to conduct any decent debate because they don't have opinions. i asked for it. this is what i get for "wanting a challenge".. i should have just gone back to cedar and teach kids who are there to listen and don't giggle in class half the time. but really, i'm fine if they don't know enough.. just be willing to learn. *sigh* it's only the 3rd day of school. help.

no one ever said it would be this hard.
oh take me back to the start..."
