Furious = Happy. It's going to be a long year.

So guess who thought they LOOOOOVED primary grades (up to grade 3) but has now decided she doesn't really like the grade ones??? Ahahahaha. They're cute, but it's way too frustrating. Today was all, "Yes Ms.O, furious means happy." Some of them get it, and some of them just DON'T. Ahahahahaha. I just didn't know what to do!I mean, part of it is teaching them....but honestly, I think itdepends on the class and how it's managed by the usual teacher. And yes, I mean, I know my job as a TEACHER is to teach them, but I've decided I'd rather teach something like patterning than drama to grade 1s.

On another note, flies have spawned somewhere in my house. EWWW. My mom thinks they're coming out of the drain. I have no idea. What I do know is that these flies are really stupid. They're reeeeeally slow and stupid. I can swat them with my hand and they get knocked out. Ahahaha. I shouldn't laugh at such killing, but they're just such BAD flies. I mean, flies are supposed to be good at flying around and evading enemies, but these ones justsuck. I guess this is why the ones with the good genes survive? Hm. Anyway, we've managed to eliminate most of them, so yay. No more annoying flies!

Okay, time for some work. My homework tonight is to write out 10 Chinese characters 10 times. It was so funny, we're learning the pictographs, which are the characters that were taken from their iconic sort of drawings. Anyway, our teacher draws out a sun, moon, person, tree....everything looks like the character. Unfortunately, then she gets to the character "heart". She drew it as a picture, and no one could tell what it was. As she was drawing it though, I realized it was the character and when she asked what it was and everyone was dumbfounded by this horrendous picture, I called out, "heart". She was like, "YES, that's right!" as if her picture was so obvious. Everyone was like, that's supposed to be a HEART? Ahahaahah, I have no idea how in the world they got that character from heart, but there ya go. Now everyone thinks I'm good at interpreting random scribble-y pictures.
