Phil and Red's Excellent Adventure

Nothing bad happened today, I just felt like that was a pretty good title. giggle. In the words of Dr. Dre, "Today was a good day." It started out pretty normal. Getting up, going to school. Today was my long school day. 4th, then 3rd, then 4th, then lunch, then two 3rd classes, followed by kindergarten. I had no troubles, well, not many with the kids. The second 4th grade class was a little unruly because Coco wasn't there to bust heads and break legs. So, I had to use my beating stick. I know what you are thinking, don't worry, I don't beat my students. When they are really loud, I just take the stick and wail it on my little desk a couple times and it gets their attention. There is an equation to this as well. The length of time they pay attention to me after I smack the stick is directly proportional to the loudness and duration of the smacking of the stick. I learned this trick in fourth grade from my teacher Mrs. Mousseau who was the tallest female teacher I ever had, yet she had the softest voice. She sounded like Officer Jan Hooks from the Police Academy series, only my teacher wasn't small, black, or have a loud shout in her.
If individual kids aren't paying attention either and talking to someone behind them or next to them, I will sneak up and wail on their desktop scaring the crap out of them. It ruelz and makes all the other kids giggle. Perfect. They usually pay attention after that for about 3 minutes, then off to not paying attention. Oh well.
During lunch i watched the movie "Saw" while eating. It was a pretty good indie film, except the acting was wretched. Everything else was good.
Kindergarten was pretty good. I was getting to be really tired during that class from all the kiddiness around. I was teaching emotions, Happy, Sad, Excited, Angry, Tired, and Love. While I was instructing the kids, I discovered that two of the little girls are going to grow up to be closet case lesbians. When I drew the picture for love and the hand motion of hugging someone, they hugged each other and kissed. NO KISSING! Lynn was crying she was laughing so hard and the two little girls were giggling. Aiya.
Afterwards I went to grab some grub and buy light bulbs for my shandelier in my room. Then I headed over to Daisy's house for a chinese lesson. It was quite humorous. Daisy was sitting on the table looking over some chinese characters with her mom. I was surprised she was back already becuause she has a piano lesson that ends at 6pm, but apparently she wasn't able to make it because she had a singing lesson. Thats alot of stuff for a 4 year old. While Lisa was getting things together to teach me, Daisy was instructing me on character pronunciation. Every once in a while Daisy would get something wrong and Lisa would shout the correction from the kitchen. Daisy would then laugh.
We started going thru stuff. They used my flash cards that I use for my lessons and went thru the chinese on them. They wrote down the characters and the pinyin. It was very interesting here, becuase the Grandfather was writing the stuff out and he kept gettin all the tones wrong on the words, Lisa would then scold him playfully, and I even had to correct Lisa and Grandfather on spelling once. I found this really funny. Here is a man that is in his late 60s and he doesn't know the correct tones of chinese. It makes me reallly wonder how important they are after that.
Afterwards I went to Lion Dance practice. It was good. Learned some new stuff. And I finally got my News Story DVD! YES! This is going on the DVD. ROCK!
Came home and time for beddy. GOodnite.
