Belgium Day 12: Im proper knackered.


I just realised
I havent had a weekend.

Ive been working 6 days a week
and then spent the whole of Sunday
trying to travel back to Belgium.

And of all the days,
there were three massive accidents
on the highway getting into
London from Bristol.

Then as I was rushing to the tube station
to rush off from Victoria to King's Cross,
they announced the line had been shut off
because of a person under the train. T_T

Seriously,
why did everyone pick today
to get into an accident! T_T

So i was late
but as i explained
to the ticket office,
they knew about my situation
and had me on the next train for free
which had been a smooth
but tiring trip for me
after changing three different vehicles
just to get into Ferrieres.

Then i worked till midnight
trying to prepare for today's classes,
had classes till 3pm
then activities with the students
till 5:30pm before starting
on more preparation for tomorrow.

God.

The worse part is,
its going to be the same long routine
for another 7 days working this week
but oh well,
I wouldnt trade for anything
but just to be home,
even if it was just for the weekends.

Banksy Part I.











Dont ask why
I look so weird. T_T












The place was too big to complete
in a single day
and I was leaving for Belgium
during that time.

Well it would still be there
when I get back
so yeah am looking forward
to my next visit.

Belgium Day 9: I made it!


Throughout the week that is
and now im going back to London.

I just seriously cant wait.

I know i havent been properly blogging
but I will get back with more pictures
next week. :)

Oh by the way,
after breaking down yesterday,
I managed to convince my boss
to change classes
and now its just a wonderful bliss.

At least now,
im finally enjoying myself.

Belgium Day 8: This just aint worth it.


I literally cried yesterday
with the amount of pressure i felt.

Maybe im taking myself too seriously.

The same boy went on a trip
with his classmates yesterday,
tripped one of them,
the boy fell and his knee was bleeding.

Proper bandages. seriously.

Im gonna take things lightly today
and play more games with them.

Because i dont want to be a teacher in general
all i wanted merely was to fill in my time
for the long summer, at the meantime travel
and earn some really good money.

But this just seriously
aint worth it at all.

Other than that,
ive got a long day today
and ive been swimming for the past
few days in a row.

Its too bad now i cant join
Meej and gang at Ibiza. -_-

Okay duty calls!

Belgium Day 7: Midweek.


Ahhh.
The first day of July.

That means 23 more days
till I go home!

I can almost smell Bristol. >_<

Im getting the hang of it around here
but the kids just not so much.

My boy with the ADHD problem
nearly chopped another boy's head off
with his hockey stick during sports lesson.

It was crazy. -_-

Anyhow im glad to be able to go
back to England this weekend.

Not to Bristol
but only to London
to settle some errands
and earn some extra cash.

Its not Bristol
but at least im outta here
and as much as i love traveling,
i'd rather earn the money
to live a luxurius life.

Bottom line is
im just glad to leave the school
for this weekend.

Alright now,
breakfast time! :)

Belgium Day 5: The first day of class.


I think i nearly cried.

I had a boy who is on ADHD meds,
a boy who does cartwheels in class
and a boy who daydreams.

I have only 5 children to look after
but they were an absolute nightmare.

Well not all of them,
there was a Russian boy
and the only girl in my class
were quite eager to learn English.

I really lost it
when one of the boys lied to me
and instead of going to the toilet
like he asked my permission to,
he ran off to somewhere else
and I had to shout down the corridor
just for him to come back.

They were falling off chairs,
drawing on each other's books and pants(?)
and I just couldnt control the class
especially when they couldnt speak
a word of English!

Ive been wanting to use the pool
but i never get the time to
and planning lessons after lessons
are fkin tiring.

Im only glad im here for only 4 weeks
unlike some who are here for 2 months.

Anyhow, there's always a silver lining
and Im glad I had mine today
that came in a simple email
which absolutely made my day.
