Okay, yesterday I didn't type into my blog. Why? Simple, I was too tired for it. Okay, I admit, I used the whole afternoon to create some new sprites, but I was in the mood for that and not my blog. It was not that I had to tell you something. Okay, yesterday the lessons I gave (which did I give anyway? can't remember...) did go fine. The kids listened nicely and there wasn't chaos.
That evening I gave swimminglessons. I have... such a.... sweet.... kid. >_<. He always disobeyes and makes jokes and yesterday I had enough of it. I put him on the bench! =P. About 7 minutes later he came asking if he could go back into the water. My fellow teacher thought he was punished enough but knew I had to say it would be okay otherwise no one would respect me. Anyway, he asked and I told him to stop making jokes and stuff. According to my fellow teacher he was quite impressed! I was so PROUD!!!!
Anyway, today is Halloween. You remember? That day whole America celebrates and the thing the Dutch people don't? Anyway, I posted a special halloween thing at my site- go and try to find it! It's hidden! (but not too much hidden ^_^).
Today I gave 2 lessons. One went so bad and the other went great! My mentor told me that if a class is chaos it is not their fault; there is nothing wrong with them- something is wrong with the teacher (or the weather >_<; and I'm not kidding! All teachers say that!). And actually, I agree. He is so right! But unlike my previous mentor, he hasn't given up on me. He usually says: 'Well, I can do that because I have more experience'. My other mentor said: 'Maybe you should consider another career'. He even suggested that I should try a few things at my swimming lessons because I feel more secure there. Look! Look! Someone who actually tries to help me!! And gives suggestions how to practise! *sticks out tongue to previous mentor*. Okay, my mentor might not be really interested in me (meaning, he doesn't care what my hobbys are, or what I like to) but he keeps on trying to help me with becoming a teacher.

Oh, today was such a horrible day at my school I have to teach. I let the kids control me instead of me
controlling them! Sure, my teacher said I still have to gain a lot of experience but dang, this has to change! I can't teach a class being so soft! So, I decided I'm going to change. I don't care what they think of me any more. I'm there to teach them and they have to listen to me. Hehe... I saw the light ^_^. But dang, the actual teacher even bumped in! And if that happens, you know it's bad.............>_<
And during lunch break 2 kids started to fight. One of the kids was from my class and the other was from another class and had his grandfather with him. (I wasn't there). Another kid from my class tried to break trhem up but the grandfather pulled him away: "Let them fight!" He said. "Go grandson! Go!" What the freak?!
Meh... I'm tired. I'll go to bed early today.

Oh boy... my messageboard is getting too full and so far I have no clue how to delete topics without having to delete the RPG too (I can only delete posts older than *add amount of days here*). Mm, still looking for a way but the mb is weird and slow today. Bwech.
Mm, it was a bit windy yesterday. Just a bit... I think the last time it was this windy was 12 years ago. How windy? Let's just say cows suddenly could fly >_<.
Adding stuff to the weirdness zone: I never have seen a fish coming back to life before... AND I'M NOT KIDDING!
About a week ago I saw one of our 2 fish swimming veritical- meaning she would die soon. A day later she was gone and 2 days ago I found her at the bottom of the bowl. I forgot to get het out though and thought my mom would do it. This is what happened today when I came home:
Me: Hiya mom! I'm home! * sees something weird in the fishbowl* Odd, did mom forget to get Faia out of the tank? Howly crap, she bought a new fish! There is a new fish swiming there! Mom, what's the name of the new fish?
Mom: Which new fish?
Me: The one in the tank.
Mom: I didn't get a new fish, that's Faia!
Me: But Faia is dead!
Mom: Well, she looks pretty alive to me!
Me: But she was at the bottom of the tank! My god, it really is Faia! But she died!!!!
