grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

So my old supervisor from last year, Inagaki-sensei, took off to have her baby. My school requested an experienced English teacher to take her place. Instead, we get Naka-sensei. A 31-year-old male with no teaching experience at all. He either stands in the back of the room, or leaves whenever we're supposed to teach *together*. However, he has no problem talking to me, or rather, asking me for favors.
Yesterday he asked me to teach a lesson today even though it wasn't scheduled. I was like uhh, ok. And he handed me some worksheets and said do you have anything planned? And I said, no I'm not scheduled to work with your class tomorrow so I don't have anything planned. So today we're walking to class and he's all "I woke up drink this morning." And I was like "Uhh, drunk?" And he's all "Yes. I had 12 beers last night." And in my head I was like "Oh ho ho muthafucka. I ain't teachin your classes just cuz you're planning on getting shitfaced the night before." So we get to class and I'm doing the lesson--mind you this is 3-5, (seniors, class five), my crappiest class, but there are a few good kids in it so atleast they work with me. And I'd go around waking kids up (cuz they like to put their heads down while they *think*), while he's standing there in the front doing nothing. And THEN he has the nerve to strike up a conversation with a student while I'm teaching!!! I was like oh HELLS no and I walked over and said "Did he finish his worksheet?" and Naka-sensei flustered a "no" and then handed him the answer key. I was like WTF??? So I said "Why does he get the answer key when all the other students have to listen to me and do their own worksheet?" And he mumbled some excuse. So then I just said I was finished with my lesson cuz I didn't want to deal with that anymore, and just stood there, arms akimbo. And he told them to do something in Japanese. I was so pissed. Afterwards he was like "That boy is very bad student" and I was like no shit sherlock. I told him I didn't think it was fair to the other students who are actually doing the work. And he mumbled something about not counting his score for his grade. JAPAN!!!!!!!!!
If this happens again, I'm telling. I'm in good with my new supervisor. She's constantly talking shit about another English teacher to me. It's great.

Quite obviously from that last story, you can see what most of my students are aiming for here. Eh. Atleast she wrote in English.

When you're having that not-so-fresh-feeling...

heehee. see pee.
Yep. Kittychan is available in douche form. (note: I do not use this product, nor do I advocate the use of douches. Although the verbal usage of "douchebag" is perfectly acceptable.)

Yarrrrrrrrrr.

HAHAHAHA!

School Starts...

...horror ensues. These past two weeks have been the "beginning of school year blues". Poor kids. They've been enduring classes in 80% humidity (no aircon) and lectures about safety and drugs in the auditorium (also no aircon). So they have the kids sitting on the floor, like so:

2 girls spotted me taking pictures and posed:

Teachers hangin out in the back. Note sleeping teacher in the front:

So of course, as in any event that takes place at my school, we have the fainters. And here's one now!

The funny thing is that they come prepared for this, what with their paper breathing bags and soft fuzzy blankets. Like kids fainting is normal. Um, why not just install some aircon or a dehumidifier at least? Oh wait, I forgot. This makes them *stronger*.
