Brick walls, head hitting.

Wednesday - my old arch enemy. Firstly I thought you might like to see this...this is my current timetable:

Time	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday

9.15-950	C3G5	C5G5			C3G5
10.10-10.45	C1G5		C3G2
10.55-11.30	C2G5		C2G2		C4G5
LUNCH	LUNCH	LUNCH	LUNCH	LUNCH	LUNCH
12.50-13.25			C1G3		C1G2
13.35-14.10	C1G3	C4G5	C5G5		C2G5
14.20-14.55			C1G5

As you can see Wednesdays are my most busy day but what you don't see is that they are also the worst classes! My grade 3 is by far and away the worst class out of an already awful year group and I had to break up another fight in G5G5 today. I tried to teach them how to play chinese wispers and wink murder... neither worked.
I spend the whole week building up my confidence with the children then let wednesday slowly destroy everything i've built up. It's really not satisfying.
I feel I should mention that on the whole I really enjoy teaching but I feel more up for talking about the bad parts it seems.

Tonight is Sebastians going home party so another late night for me

我去中國

在：家

About

When I said China, did you say itinerary? Thought so.
So the plan, the massive plan is as follows:
I'm flying out on Friday the 13th of February, quite an omen if you ask me, and I arrive 19 hours later after a 11 hour flight in Shanghai Pu dong airport on valentines day.
I get met by Jessie, who I imagine will become essentially my Chinese deity, keeping me safe from harm and the like.

But then what happens?
I'm teaching in a school didn't you know. Until like the end of June. Then I'm gonna travel around a bit, go to japan stuff like that...
