good days, bad days, wednesdays.
yesterday I wanted to quit my job. The students in my class were acting like a bunch of teenagers and it took all I had not to get (really, really) angry. funny how when the class is over, they all leave the classroom and tell me happily that they will see me tomorrow, as if they have no short term memory of the rather strained 40 minutes that we just experienced together. Well, of course, they aren't aware of the strain, that is all created by me and I am the only one who has to deal with it.
of course, today was the polar opposite. Happy, polite and friendly. Where did those students from yesterday go? Who are these nice replacements?
same people, different experience.
I was tired yesterday, too.
I have an Internet connection at my new apartment!!
Surprised and confused by the whole mess of emotions that leaving my old apartment has let loose. So happy to have my own place, but really feeling lost. Had to take a break from moving on Saturday because I was overwhelmed, had a good cry and then got back to it.
just seems that my emotional reaction is delayed. I am perplexed.

It always makes my head spin when students don't learn their words, do their homework, focus in class, stop talking when I'm talking, etc., etc., and then say "See you next time!" like we've had a good session.
Chinese students are difficult to understand sometimes!
