Which, to me in my thankfully ignorant opinion, seems like an awful waste of time.
Oh, it does to me, too. And who knows? Maybe they *do* want the money. I feel awful for their loss, but I hope, if it were me, I would have moved on ten years after the fact.
Congratulations, Jess!!!
hmm...should I shovel the snow on my walk now? It might help me digest the too many tamales I had for lunch.
I hope I wasn't that much of an ass when I went.
No, not even! And usually it takes a student I've worked with a number of times to make me that frustrated.
The good thing about a centre like ours is that there are so many teachers and so many classes is that you don't have to be the one that gets them over every hump. As long as they get over the hump in reasonable time.
Doesn't mean you don't stop trying, but since everyone's not working on the same schedule, it's a bit easier to distance yourself from the frustration and concentrate on being positive when you teach.
I'm taken aback by how invested I've gotten into all this. When I can't cover one of my classes, or even when someone else is called in to cover a class I usually cover--I get kinda pouty and sad. At least I've gotten over feeling displaced when watching students I've taught taking other classes.
I like it. I like yelling at them, I like making them laugh, I like getting them to give more than they'd been planning to, and I like it when they pass belt tests. Since I teach at all levels now (how the
fuck
did that happen?) I run less chance of losing them when they move up a level.
Oh! Congratulations, Jessica!
Thanks guys!
Ohioistas, stay safe from the terror snowice!
My cold is still lingering, so I took the afternoon as a sick day (since I was taking the morning to close on the apt anyway). Part of me wants to nap and part of me wants to pack. Hmmmmm.
Woot! Congrats Jess and Fone!!!
One of the things the Goldmans may be hoping for is to prevent him from making money off of the death of their son. Stuff like that assy book and special from not too long ago.
ETA: Way to go Jessica!
Congrats on homeownership, Jess & Fone! May it be a happy home for your family!
