Bah

So things went from good to shitty pretty quickly. I mean, things, overall, are ok, but lots of frustrations happening these last few days and I just want to crawl in a hole for a while.

I'm back to being super tired all the time. Not sure what is going on, but I am aiming to go to bed by 10:00 tonight. Last night it was more like 12, so I'm going to try reallly hard. But, even when I do manage to get to sleep, I usually don't sleep well and have some REALLY wack ass dreams. What is going on?!

Also, I got my new class last week and it is a MESS!! These kids are MUCH rowdier than my last group of angels AND my new co-teacher has no idea what is going on, ever. And sadly, I usually don't know what to tell her because the role of the Korean teacher is really different than my role...so I'm not much help. We also have a new assistant teacher who doesn't really seem to be on top of things either, so we are basically falling apart in Cherry class. It's going to be a funnnnn year. We are also already getting "helpful suggestions" from moms..should also be super fun. Most of the kids are cute, but they don't seem that interested in being well behaved. Last year they had a healthy fear of getting punished, and I'm just not really seeing that this year. Good times.

Anyway, lots of other bullshit going on as well, but oh well. I am trying to figure out ways to de-stress myself because I have a really hard time just chilling the fuck out. Suggestions welcome. Preferably that don't involve alcohol because weektime drinking usually makes my life worse. I'm hoping things settle down soon and I find some energy. I'm also hoping this stupid winter will actually end soon and I can get some sunshine and happiness back in my life.

Oh, and I'm super tired of the majority of people in my life being super lame, awkward and just overall buttfaces. So, if you could just cut all that nonsense out, almost everyone, I would appreciate it. Seriously, why do people suck so bad?

For some good news, I bought my plane ticket home! It was cheaper than I thought and it's actually a decent itinerary too! I have flown enough to finally realize the cheapest way is not always the best way. I bit the bullet and opted for the more expensive ticket with shorter travel time. I'm not sure why any airline thinks a 15 hour layover is an acceptable thing to offer people. My beef with airline companies is for another day. Back to the good stuff, I'll be home May 28-June 17 so I hope to some people! Lots of stuff going on then...a wedding, 10 year high school reunion and LOTS of sitting on the beach time. Come join me on the beach!

That's all fro now. It's almost my bed time.

Jumba!

Well well, turns out no one really reads this so I'm not sure why I keep posting, but I've committed now, so whatever.

Like always, SO busy these days. Maybe a little too busy...which I can't even believe I would every say that but I'm losing my mind just a little bit. This week we had graduation AND orientation and it was just a bit too much. I had to say goodbye to my babies (even though I'll see them around school next year) and had to say hello to new ones. Which wasn't bad, and I have some cute ones. It was just weird to have new kids in my class, doing the same things I did with last years. Also, my new co-teacher is brand new, and wasn't there to help me (she had commitments to another job) so I was on my own with orientation. Luckily, I'm an old pro now, so everything was fine. However, it's still awkward to have the moms stand around and stare at me while I have to give a lesson to their kids. And then not have a teacher to translate for me.

ANYWAY. Should be an interesting year. In other news, day one of two day Zumba certification is over! It was a LONG ass day, but lots of dancing and lots of fun. And lots of Korean! Most of the class was Korean, so it kind of sucked to sit through a lot of Korean talking, but whatever. It also kind of sucked to sit and listen to an hour long business ploy to get you to pay more money to join a Zumba instructor club type thing. It would be worth it if I was going to make this my job, but I don't have time for that! The instructor is from Colombia, so at least when he was talking it was a fun accent. Looking forward to tomorrow!

So that's my life. Going to bed at like, 9 today. Exhausted! But happy!

Dream big people!
