kinarir na! free from the shackles of 9 to 5

i knew it! kids kids kids! they are sooo tiring!

well, what can i say about teaching little kids now that i've gone through one whole week of it?

ok, i'll admit... it was kinda fun. very fun, in fact, as i got to play with them and do some activities along with them (i planted monggo seeds, which i haven't done since i was in first grade!).

but it was also damn tiring! and this just at two hours every day. you start out in control, and slooowly... they take over. by the end of the week, i had kids running around pounding on the little drum we had, high pitched little voices plaintively asking "teacher betty, how do you spell...", more high pitched little voices raised to complain "hey paulo stepped on my bag!", and even more high pitched little voices giggling in delight and announcing "teacher, patrick farted!"

oy! too much! it's like being under seige.

haaaay... thank god it's friday. and i do really mean it with all my heart.
