Fridays - Ugh!
I just had the most amazing class with one of my faves, Seconde A, because they're lovely and adorable. I did the class on dreams - even though I'd only sort of organised it five minutes before class. So I made it all up as I was going along. It went really well though, we talked about strange dreams we've had and we nominated a "doctor" to analyse the dreams. I even told them some of my own, even the one where I envisaged France as a stinking, mouldy ship, and England as an exotic desert island. I explained I was unhappy at the time and I do like France really. As ever they amazed me with their range of vocab and I left the lesson feeling happy, contented and reminding myself that it's lessons like this that make being a teacher worthwhile.However, I have seconde C next, the lowest class in the school, something like 17 of them, they all hate me, they never listen to me. Actually they don't hate me, they just don't want to work for me. I can't think of a single thing we could do that they would cooperate with or remotely enjoy. I'm hoping they'll take a hint from last week and not turn up. Though I need them to turn up so I can tell them not to turn up next week!!
Dave and his mum arrive today, hurray!! A few problems going on though; firstly I haven't tidied my room, secondly I haven't started packing, thirdly, I haven't planned this weekend very well. Fourthly, I haven't exactly arranged for anywhere for the mother in law to stay, I asked the landfolks yesterday but they said they'd have to find out. So I need to leave after next lesson to find out. I also haven't rented a parking space yet, but that shouldn't be hard. I have had no time to myself since last thursday!! I'm so busy it's unfair. I still haven't done my CV, and I had an email today saying I need to have handed in a third of my coursework by May 31st (this is the coursework I've barely glanced at yet) All in all, life's a bit shitty. At least the sun's out though, though it's still a bit chilly. Just can't wait for Easter!!
Oh, and it's also my brother's birthday next week and I haven't got him anything. And I'm dying to go shopping for myself, I need shoes!!!! I've decided too that I'm going to play a game with 2C cos I can't be arsed to think of anything else for them.
Ah yeah, and I watched Fawlty Towers with my premiere S - they didn't get it. Actually, no, I think they got it, but they didn't find it funny. They were like laughing too loud, being sarcastic, and just chatting all the way through. I tried though, I really did! The only bit they laughed at was Basil's impression of Hitler. They totally missed out on the one-liners, and they didn't laugh at the moose bit. Damn them. It made me feel silly cos I thought it was hilarious, and I hoped they didn't think all English comedy is like that - but then why shouldn't it be?? It's great! They have no sense of humour...
I hate fridays.
