I always find myself in a state of bliss during what is considered 'unlucky day'. Ha, I was never the superstitious type anyway. I wonder what's in store for me today. :)

Will I finally fall into the trap of 'bad luck'?

Work this evening was funny and boring! The entire company lost connection to the internet at around 21:35KT (I didn't have class at the moment) and well..it didn't come back at all. HA HA! I had four consecutive classes, too, beginning 22:00KT. And I missed them all, which I honestly felt sad/bad about. My adult students give in so much effort in class that it's such a shame the servers (or whatever it was) had collapsed when it did. But oh well. Not like we can control technology just like that.

Can I just say, though, that the Thursday that just passed was one of the most toxic/hectic days I've had at work! I haven't even warmed my seat up yet and I already had a 40-minute group class. Afterwards I come to find out that I'll be having a make-up class, with only two hours to prepare. AND THEN I get a message from my team leader, telling me that I would need to sub for another junior class because a teacher was absent. And yes, I was not equipped with the student's lesson, but luckily she had presentations for it which I just had to edit. Minutes after subbing for that class, I had yet another session with one of my young students. All in all, I've dealt with children all day! Sometimes it really is difficult to keep yourself animated and lively for the children -- especially when a web cam is in your face! Nuts, yo. I'm glad web cams are to be used only for group classes. :)

After all of that, I got into one of my thinking moments again. (Oh, that was a bit after I stuffed my face with junk food: wasabi-flavored potato chips, Nips chocolates, Japanese crackers, fudge bars. And yes, we're talking PLURALS here. Stressed much? LOL.) So anyway..I have come to realize that I really am enjoying this teaching thing. I never imagined I could actually be good at it. It just dawned on me that the children seriously pay attention in class and they can be serious with me, they laugh with me, they answer all my questions. It may be just an on-line thing, but it's a ton of fun for me. (Sans the preparation part, haha!) Or maybe it's all because I just love kids. (Daniel is an exception to that love, of course. Gah.) Oh well, whatever it is, I'm enjoying my time with the kids in class. Somehow I'm longing to have those very rowdy children that everyone else have been complaining about...I want to be challenged. :)

One of my students, Charlie (a girl), asked me earlier, "Teacher, are you Chinese?" LOL.

A lot has happened in the sleepless hours that passed. I haven't been sleeping well for the past two weeks. The earliest I'd go to bed is at 4:30am. It's probably unhealthy, but I'm having difficulty controlling this. The internet doesn't keep me up, actually. Toying around with photo editor does. Haha! The 3am habit. ;D

Still so much on my mind that I want to write about, but I should really get some sleep. LG in the morning.
