Gone are the days when half birthdays were recognized. Well, today is my half birthday and I from now on I will proudly say I'm 24 and a half. Shazaaam.
So it's almost Christmas. I'm looking forward to a long weekend, a 3 day week next week followed by another long weekend. Wish I could have the entire week off, but oh well, can't have everything now can I.
In other recent events, I've been mildly annoyed with a few of my co-teachers. The head teacher actually quit and tomorrow is her last day. In some ways I'm sad she won't be around anymore, but at the same time she always takes my candy or food. I've never been the "fat kid" who selfishly eats in front of others w/o so much as offering, but when people just take take take and never reciprocate, I get annoyed. For example, one of my students gave me a candy and I left it in the classroom, which is my fault, but when she returned with my candy, she said, "oh is this your candy that you left in the classroom?" I said, "oh yeah, thanks". As I held out my hand, she quickly opened it and popped it in her mouth. I sat there giving her my evilest eye and she cackled at me. CACKLED!! Another time, I bought a box of cookies for my students. The cookies were pre-packaged within the box and whatever I didn't use that day I'd save for later. Well, she saw I had a bunch of cookies and requested half of my box for her class. I said no and she had a little fit. Get your own damn cookies!!!!!!!! Uff. Oh well, stupid things I guess. That aside, the other Korean teachers are pretty cool. I get along with 3 of them very very well, the 4th is nice but I hate eating with her. Koreans traditionally tend to eat with their mouths open and chomp on their food like an old cow. I think it's gross and rude, but it's part of the culture I suppose. It's nothing against her character, I just loose my appetite when I sit across from her...
Anyway, this is me complaining and being a baby. Perhaps my pouty outlook on life right now isn't properly portraying how much I've matured over the past 1/2 year (haha). Don't worry though, I will grace you with insight the next time I write.
hahahahahahaa. i can just imagine someone eating the candy right in front of you and you getting SO mad. i'm sorry. i don't mean to make fun of your plight. i hate when people are stingy.
ReplyDeletehappy half birthday! i also have a half email written to you, i'll try to get to that other half.
happy half birthday! i tried to celebrate mine the day before thanksgiving, but no one really appreciated it. i usually am that fat girl who doesn't want to share, and i get mad when people even ask for some candy. so don't feel bad.
ReplyDeletehaha an old cow....luv it. i totally agree about the chomping on food with your mouth open. i can't stand it when people do that. matt always did that too. i told him to stop and he did.
