I can't concentrate when I'm my room, seriously -.- My book has been opened at the same page for the past hour, and I'm getting nowhere - no thanks to the computer. But since it's already almost 2330 here, I'll just end my day with a blogpost. My blog is going stale!
The tuition kid I'm taking now is really... unpredictable. She can be diabetically-sweet at one moment and the next moment she's sulking like a pickle. Today I was doing a wordsearch puzzle with her and at every word, she'll ask me if I've found the word already. Sorry I'm the type who can't and won't lie to kids, so I replied very honestly. And this went on for awhile before she went very quiet and held the worksheet up, covering her face, not before saying "Don't look!" She remained that way for like 5mins, before I figured out she was angry. (But at one point of time, she giggled) Then I decided to ask her.
Me: What are you angry about???
Kid: Don't you know!!
Me: If you don't tell me, how am I supposed to know??
Kid: ... (sets the paper down on the table and mumbles) You keep saying you found it you found it...
Me: ............................
So I have it in me to offend kids without even trying.
How am I supposed to teach next time?
Then, the next moment she was back to her bubbly self again, giggling and hugging me and attempting to tickle me.
Oh, please teach me how to read kids' minds.
And my university professors are the sweetest. Like really really. Especially those profs who realised that I'm a foreigner, they'd apologise for example for not allowing me to use the dictionary in the exam, or that they're sorry that their lessons were too difficult. Which other university's professors do that??? Haha and the biggest gift of today was when one of my professors told the whole class that he's really sorry for the difficult content of the lesson and that he thinks we won't be able to write a report on it, so he wants us to just choose a book we like and write about it. And he'll give us the credit for it. Like, WHAT? That was such a relief. I was so afraid that I wouldn't be able to pass that class. Hehe, God works in amazing ways (: But I'm also amazed that the professors in Todai are that modest and nice and affable. (: (: (:
And I've been eating less recently, proud of me anot? Haha but partly because I need to save money for London, Kansai and Taiwan! These trips are my motivation to conquer the exams. Can't wait for February to come alreadyyyyyy. And -M- hasn't reimbursed me for my school fees!! And neither have they updated me about my attachment...
Deep breath.
CNY is just around the corner. I have 2 tests on 初一, 恭喜发财 to me! And I'm really craving for the dimsum buffet in Yokohama. Craving for 叉烧包(香港式),萝卜糕,叉烧酥,猪肠粉.... Am I making anyone hungry? Or am I just making myself hungry? Hahaha.
Sleep! Practice tomorrow =/
