How about a four year hangover?

We just reelected the old government, and it's the bad guys!
*SIGH*
Now we're stuck with them for another four years!

At least the kids at school were allright today:

I can actually make 8th grade sit still! I just wrote some multiplication problems on the board, and it turned out that they couldn't multiply simple numbers! In 8th grade!
I think they realised that they need to know, and fast, and that that was why they actually shup up and did as they were told (pretty much).

Teaching P.E. in kindergarden (5&6year olds) went ok, apart from the fact that I still don't have the routine in comforting them, when they start crying (every five minutes)... I tried teaching them some judo, but they weren't very good at it. At least I got smarter at that age group.

The 9th graders were an absolute nightmare. Some of them didn't even make a name tag (within 45 mins). Brats. I hope I gained some respect by being grumpy *sigh*.

Hate being grumpy.

I should've seen my dad today, but he changed our dinner date to a lunch date, and I was at work at lunchtime.... I didn't even have time to call him and pass on the offer.

The 8th graders need a new math teacher, so I offered to take them. This is a big responsibility, as they have to take O-levels in the summer of 2009. The school will try to find someone who's actually educated to teach maths, but if they don't I might get it! I need to think two years ahead before I accept this position.... my man and I might be going away in spring 2009 as a part of his PhD, but that's still to be planned.
