Awkward Jokes, Cheating and Fighting
Hey everyone!
So last Thursday I left you at a dinner I was
heading to. I obviously went and it was…well…a little awkward actually. It was
a dinner for everyone who works at MKS basically and the owners of the school
were the hosts. We also had to find their house-which was the tricky part. You’d
think that they would have specific directions to their house for the new
teachers but nope! It was a general area, but they did offer a bus which we
didn’t take because we figured we would want to leave before the bus would. We
ended up getting lost yet again but still made it in time for about 30 minutes
of casual conversation in their house before food was served. All I can say
about this whole thing was that it was awkward and formal. At least for me. For
the most part, everyone was really dressed up and trying to show off their
stuff to everyone else while I was just kind of at the corner table eating food
or making jokes. It was a lot of fun but I’d only want to do that once a month
at most. Their entire house was white and everything had a gold trim or it was
made of glass. Their staircase was also a replica of the Titanic’s two stairways
in the middle of the ship. It was pretty cool though because they had a huge
catering company that came in and they offered quite a bit of really good food.
And they had shwarma off to the side, so I took some to go. Because why not?
After last Thursday, the week has been pretty
boring. It was midterms all week so it was just me literally staring at kids as
they took a test for 2-4 hours every day and then finding something to work on
for another 4.5 hours or so until I could go home. On the plus side of all
this, I only got two cheaters which was a little disappointing being that I
couldn’t do ANYTHING when I saw someone cheating, only when I got a cheat sheet
or something. So basically, even though I saw a lot of very obvious cheating, I
had no real proof that it happened and therefore, could not make them lost any
points.
Other than that, there really hasn’t been too
much going on. I’ve now been going to jiu jitsu for two weeks and this week, we
had Nolan, another teacher friend, come with us. Although he will probably
never come again, it was pretty fun just to have someone else with us. He didn’t
do too much training with us but he was pretty comfortable with watching us and
learning from some other students in the class. Afterwards we also stopped to
get some donuts on our way back so I saved mine for breakfast at school the
next morning and was pretty satisfied with my decision.
Other than that, It was Nolan and my roommate,
Jessica’s, birthday this week. Nolan’s was Sunday and Jessica’s was today. We
didn’t do too much for the birthdays yet but I did just get back from a bar for
Jessica’s birthday while many people are going camping for Nolan’s birthday
later yet tonight but I probably won’t go. Anyways, that’s really all the news
I have for now so I will talk to you guys later!
