HIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
It's great... teaching that is. Ok teaching sucks floppy donkey balls but for me any job is fun aslong as you make it fun.
I've been teaching english at the University of Guayaquil for over two months now..
Teaching advanced English skills to a group of 7 girls who aren't exactly ready for advanced English is fun to say the least. They're all cheeky, sarcastic, feisty as hell , loud mouthed latin ladies. Some of which have a thing about bringing me food everyday, some of the older ones bring me their daughters. I'm serious.
Oh for the record.. they call me by my middle name down here.. 'Alex'
Norma: "so you have a wife?"
Me: "Norma.... what's the pronunication of voiceless consonant sounds on words ending in 'ed'."
Norma: "So you don't have a wife"
Me: "No Norma,.... the question i just asked you..."
Norma: "Did you see my daughter yesterday, she bonita no?"
Me: "You crack me up, I know she jailbait tho and that ain't my thing"
Norma: que????
Lupe: "Alex why you always speak fast difficult English when you laugh at us?"
Me: "So I can make fun of you Lupe"
Lupe: "Noooo! I go home to my bed and cry"
Narcissa: "Lupe no go home to cry, she has pictures of Alex above her bed, maybe she go home to do something else, I don't know what tho"
Cecibel: "Alex is blushing"
Me: "I'm changing your exam results, you all get a big U in red ink meaning you suck"
Narcissa: "suck? please Alex teach us the meaning of the word suck, i don't know the meaning of this word" (rest of class starts cracking up)
Me: You guys don't pay me enough.
Norma: "so you have a girlfriend?"
And now, because i no longer work for the Uni of guayaquil.. I have to teach this crazy bunch at my place.
So the past 6 weeks I've been teaching a bunch of kids in what i guess is the equivilent of summer school.
The kids got seperated into 2 groups, the blues being the 10 and under...the greys being the teens. i now realize how much of a bastid I was as a teenage student, so they thought they'd be wiseasses throw some of my own medicine at me but I threw it back at them and you know what.... we've all a really good time. It's all coming to an end and the kids go back to their schools, some borught in cameras and we all did crazy poses and stuff.
Then as I promised, I taught them all, greys and blues... some English insults.
The most entertaining to explain were...
"my daddy is a pimp"
"you look like shit" and "
your mother has a fat ass".
Teaching kids in fun man. Tomorrow is the last day so we're all eating pizza and watching sex in the city cuz it's the only video we got in english and hell... it's english class.
Oh and to end on a scary note... I'd like to dedicate this entry to Jamiee, not Jaime honey__ my crazy kiwi incestuous twin not even Jaime jamesla my crazy beaner friend... but infact... Jamiee jamiee_love because she scares the hell outta me.. wanna know why?
It's because she goes from
this to this.
