today was a complete bummer of a day. everyone is up in arms about having to teach nine hours. they decided to combine one of the green a classes so now i get to teach that class. it wouldn't be so bad if the students were on the same level but they aren't. one is my student from before and the other two were horace's. well we were a lot farther along in my class and now these two girls are completely lost. their reading is fine but they don't really comprehend any of it and they are definitely not understanding prefixes. i will probably have to give them extra attention. i don't want to review everything we've done because ashley will be bored. hopefully it will all come together. to make things worse our part-time teacher julie quit today. this really sucks because she was good. i guess jk had made some promises to her and went back on his word. tomorrow's sammy last day too. now we are losing two good teachers. it's only been three months and the turnover there is unbelievable. i can't wait to what's going to happen in the next 9 months. on the plus side we did get a xerox machine. now that's fun. i can't wait to make copies.
i was in better form tonight during tae kwon do. i realized that if i eat a light meal beforehand i'm much better than when i eat something heavy like pasta. scrappy kept running his mouth all night about some korean girl he hooked up with on the weekend. sometimes i feel like i'm in a bad espisode of "saved by the bell". sometimes i wish he would just stupid up for five minutes.
we going out for drinks tomorrow night with sammy and julie. i'm sure horace and i are going to get an earful. i thought life here would be much simpler but it really isn't. its the same old bullshit just a different language.
during my buffy marathon this weekend i realized that she does tae kwon do. she made a few references about practicing her round house kicks. oh yeah. i'm learning the buffy moves. look at vampires here i come. time to unwind with a few more buffster epsidoes before turning in. later.

You are going to give Buffy a run for her money Ethansan! Speaking of the revolving door, I received an issue from JAB. How about that?
