Last night was my first night at Wu Fong and it was good, better than when I subbed last time, because this time I wrote all their names on the board at the beginning and bribed them with stars next to their names for giving answers. I wish I had known that back then. They really dig that stuff.
On Wednesday I had a bad day at the kindy with the an qin ban kids... this new girl's mother is sitting in on the classes to prevent her from suffering from separation anxiety or something (that's my guess anyway) and this little shithead started pretending to cry and said he "didn't want me, he wanted Angela!" Angela uses a microphone and throws a ball around while I read them stories. He got busted bad, sucked in. I also taught them the wrong way to write the letter A (who really gives a shit as long as it looks like a frickin A) and the Chinese teacher, who joins in and encourages the fat bully kid at the back to call things like how qi guai I am, made no effort to save face, and told the kids, "she has taught you wrong, Angela has taught you right." So anyway on Friday I made them shut up and cut out the states of Australia and colour them in and then put them together again like a puzzle. They thought it was "jian dan si le" (deadly simple) but that was the plan anyway. The only thing I said to them the whole lesson was the Canberra was written in upper case while the other cities weren't, therefore saving 10 more Taiwanese kids from learning from a dumb arse Canadian or someone that Sydney is the capital ofAustralia.
Then Elizabeth had her going away bash and we went to the Pig Pen again and last night I went to the Party Animal and stood outside the Pig Pen for too long and then to Escape, and then hung out at our friend's apartment which is right near it. Yeah and then I got up late and my two thirty year old housemates were acting like my parents which was cute and then i finally went and bought some bedding. Wow.
