Just say no to romanji and poor grammar
romanjiがきらいです！ じゃあ、東京バベロンとるろうに剣心の本を買いましたから、とてもうれしいです。 そうして、子猫買いました。 Red Tabbyです。 木曜日子猫と帰ります。
On a different note, it never ceases to amaze me how incredibly ungrateful some people are... I have this student who is already on an IEP for behavior, and all the teachers are bending over backwards to accomodate the "system" in place to help him and all of our students are having to do the same, and all he does is continue to try to manipulate the system to get what he wants, defies authority and puts down other students and in some cases tries to put down the teacher. When he apologizes I flat out say, no, you're rude or I don't believe you because if you were sorry you would stop. Anyway, we're reviewing that after break--can't wait. The social worker convinced a family to adopt this child's family because dad has been out of work for two months, etc. She was speaking with the mother to try to arrange to bring the gifts over and the mother was saying how it was inconvient times for all the times this family could bring the gifts over. Maybe I'm just heartless, but to me if someone is doing something for you out of the kindness of their heart, you don't start complaining about it. Then that student was saying how he better get some really nice gifts this year...wtf?? Good thing you aren't my kid or you'd get a swift smack on your butt before you went to your room for the next two weeks.
We were playing a game today and he got the answer correct and told the other student he failed. I flat out told him if he said something like that again, he was out of my class. I could go on, but I better stop so I can sleep. Now yesterday, I was bagging groceries for one of my schools to earn money for them and there was a grandma and her granddaughter trying to buy food and they were having to take things back out of the cart so she could pay for it. A couple came up behind them and the man paid for the difference. No hesitation, no questions, just said here I'll get it. As they were walking away the little girl asked why they didn't get the ice cream (it had been taken out before the man and his wife came up) and she told her because they couldn't afford it. I started to cry. I know what it's like to be in that situation, and the wife came over and saw me and started talking to me and said so did they. I grew up in that type of a situation although I don't think it was that bad. So I know there is good out there in the world, and I even think there is more good than not, but damn does it piss me off to see parents teaching their kids it's okay to be rude and ungrateful and disrespectful.
Hmm...I should probably go to sleep now. Stress. I swear, a miracle better happen to help me financially or I don't know what I'm going to do from here on out. However, I think tomorrow I can see what grade I earned in Japanese...which should tell me how I did on the final. Over break when I'm not editing, redoing webstuff or playing with my new kitten, I'll be reading manga or the book my teacher gave me to try to keep using what I've learned. It'll be difficult looking up all the kanji and some new words, but I think it will be worth it.
