Chapter 57: "Dark Days in English"

Today I uttered, in all seriousness, this sentence:

"Does anybody no book?"

No, there are no typos or misspellings in there. Just me reduced to the same level of speaking ability as my students.

Today there were several changes to my normal schedule. First, I no longer teach the Class of All Boys. Well, not as we have known it for the past eight months. They split into two classes today: one class for the crazy or less-smart ones (ADD Kid and the Normal One), and one for the smarter ones (New Kid, Emo Kid, and the Smart One, plus the Other New Kid, whose mother doesn't want him to be in the other class, even though his level is likely lower than theirs). And so it goes. Plus we have the new addition of the Cutest Girl, who is so darn adorable you want to just put away your English books and sit down on the floor with her and play Barbies. Yes, it's that bad.

Today was also the last day for me to be teaching the Class of All Girls. Two of the girls are moving to a different English academy (they've been at this one for several years), thus reducing the class to two girls. Those two girls left over will probably be joining another class of their same level.

All that this means is that I get to show up to work later, pretty much, and my hours got switched up a tiny bit. But I'll take it. Only one more month till the term change!! And then the start of my last term. Sigh....the end is slowly approaching!!
