07.19.08 very productive today..finished taking notes for 2 chpts & wrote up the diary for the course..it's like a 5% give away..all i have to do is bs a paragraph each wk saying how enjoyable the class is, how great the professor is, how the materials for the course is interesting & it gives me more knowledge & blah blah blah..which i'll continue to make up random stuff so it would look like i spend lots of time reflecting but no..lol the professor is a fun guy, easy going, very intelligent..but the course itself..is so boring! maybe cuz statistics & analysis dont interest me at all..so i dont feel so motivated..i have no choice but to take this course..it's compulsory..but it's almost over..YEA!! 4 more wks!! WOOT!!! lol in summer camp..there's this unique girl..amilie (5yrs old)..i dunno what to say..the things that her mom tells her..is ridiculous..there are times where you're just speechless & u dont know how to respond to her..haha..so most students in the camp, either calls me 'jennifer jehjeh' or 'miss jennifer' but amilie says 'teacher' so whenever we have a group activity, she shouts 'TEACHER!' & none of the teachers respond cuz we dunno which one she's calling..so we just stand there & look at her..until she walks over & taps u on the hand..anyways..we gave apples to the students for snacks..& amilie walks up to candy..
amilie: teacher! mommy said i cant eat apples
candy: why?
amilie: mommy said that if i eat an apple..i'll die!
candy: um..you're a vegetarian..your mom said u cant eat eggs, meat & seafood..
amilie: but mommy said i'm snow white & snow white ate an apple & died. so if i eat an apple, i'll die too!
candy: .. .. then dont eat it.. .. .. *then quietly whispers to me* what kind of stupid explanation is that?! the mother! sigh! lol another time amilie had to go pee & she comes up to me & whines..
amilie: teacher! i have to go pee! but mommy said i cant pee unless i'm at home..
me: excuse me?
amilie: mommy said i cant pee outside..
*since i didnt want to ask further questions nor do i wish to listen to anymore of the unique responses that her mom had told her..*
me: okies amilie..u have 2 choices..one..u go pee in the toilet or two..u pee in your pants. which one is it?
amilie: i'll go pee in the toilet..but mommy said outside toilets are dirty!
me: if u really cant stand your bum touching the toilet seat..take toilet paper & place it neatly on the seat..then sit on it..
amilie: i have to go pee but mommy said..
me: i'm not the one who has to pee..u have to pee..so go before u cant hold onto it..
*off amilie goes..running to the washroom* finally..field trip..the parents all know we're going to a farm & that we have to get down on our knees to pick beans & what does amilie wear? a white puffy dress! correct! all the teachers, students & a few parents who were attending the field trip tried not to stare at her that obviously..but her mom didnt seem to think it was awkward. i told the mother that her daughter would have to wear a school t-shirt over her dress so if she gets lost, people will know which school she's from..& what does mom say? amilie's mom: but it will look so ugly!!
*i'm thinking..do i care? lol i know it's mean..but common sense..farm trip..dirty..wear clean white dress..doesnt make any sense at all*
me: i'm sorry, no exceptions..school rules..all students have to wear one..
amilie's mom: hm..okies..*so unwilling to put the t-shirt on her daughter* lol
**
the memorable incidents that happen at school & u share it with your friends who are teachers as well & just to listen to their stories then we think of the most retarded solutions & the things we really want to say but cant..is just hilarious.. watching: fate - kwon sang woo & song seung hun
