Monday, March 11

So. The day was fairly average... oh, except for the fact one of the teachers did not show up today. No big deal, but what she did has been nicknamed the midnight run. Which is when after payday, the do not tell anyone and leave. So, our school is going to be one teacher short for at least a month. It is thought of a low class and inconsiderate thing to do. Everyone say that at least a month should be given. I think the contract says 2 months. That means I am going to have to take up some extra shifts. No big deal... except that it is. I will now have to be in the office to teach during the first hour every day. My current schedule was me starting at 11:10 and staying till the last class. Now I will be there for the first class till the last class. So... my life... which was already hectic, just got even more so. I was starting to get into the swing of things, learning my kids names, and figure out my teaching schedule and style. Now, all of that is in the dust. Luckily I am only taking on more Kindy classes. But still, that is a whole new wrench in my life.
I am going to be dragging on energy so much. Being at school for over 10 hours a day will get me. Granted, all of the time is not teaching time. There is a beautiful rooftop garden that I can go to an read in. But still... It will be a change. If I consolidated my teaching schedule, it would be pretty fantastic... but I have an hour break here, another break there. So... my day is spread out... But I will be compensated for the extra time.. so I guess that is good.
 Also I may start staying on Wednesdays to help one of my co-teachers tutor our kids that are falling behing. Rachel Teacher (one of the Korean teachers) started about the same time as I so we got to know each other pretty well. Her and I talk about out kids every day. We both dont know what we are doing. Its tough. Even doing this. we know that everything we do affects a kids life. So with me being me and my work ethic.. I care. I want to stay and help these kids. If the succeed, I succeed. If they fail, I fail.
After work... I wanted something to eat. A comfort food to put me in a food coma. I went to Pizza School and got 2 pizzas. Not bad. They taste pretty much like what a cheep Little Ceasers pizza taste like. I am trying to get to bed early, because now I am having a complete shift in my schedule. I am awake in time... but my mind is nowhere near ready to start thinking...
