A taste of the horrible.

A typical day in my class that occurs in the designated time period "after escuela." That's spanish and I'm so burnt out that I can't even think to correct myself.

Bell rings.  Get up slowly. "God help me."
Grab role book.
Walk up the 5 flights. Huff huff. Why are their so many stairs?
"Hi teacher! HIIIIIIIII TEACHERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAHHH! "
Smiling students, oh why aren't you in my class? Look at that cute student. Smile Faith, do it.
Smile.
"Hi teacherah." Why are you so frightened student? Why do you flee?
Enter classroom. So noisy. What did the last teacher feed you? Mountain Dew Frappe's with chocolate hearts and a side of 24 hour energy?
Put role book down, try to look serious. Why are you climbing on that other student? Why, you student who is so kind in all my other classes stare at me so disdainfully? I didn't assign you that homework, I don't make you go to hogwan. Stop burning a hole in my face. Did someone take away your magical Frappe?
"Ok" Quiet students. For the love of all that is holy sit down. Stop tickling her. Stop stealing pencils. Stop drawing poop. really poop? Stop asking me what the english word is for poop. I don't want to tell you.

Role call. Yes, I am saying numbers. Yes, you're name equals a number. Yes, an English number. Yes, you are number 12. Raise your hand. Raise your hand means put your arms up. Demonstation needed. ok. there you go.
Finish. only 40 more minutes.

Assigned seats. why? because you were jumping on desks. Why? I don't know. Why don't you tell me?
"Let's start, Today we are going to learn about Spring"
Blank stares. Why? Why the blank stares?
Vocabulary. Spring, bee, flower, ......Stop kicking her! No. I won't tell you the word.
death glare. Noisy students. quiet. good. I will take away points. do you want to sit in assigned seats forever? Guess so.
Only 30 more minutes.

"TEACHAH TIREEEED." I know student.
"TEEEACHAH What is BEEEEE?" hand motions. "ahh teachah. I know I know."
"TEACHah, bathroom." No you can't go. Why? because you won't come back.
"teachah yellow water." eww. stop. you can go. I'll time you.
"teachah..." Giggle giggle. "teachah." Giggle giggle. No I WON'T TELL YOU THE WORD.
Only 10 more minutes.

Ok. finish? ok. No sleeping. Put your head up. Why are you raising your hands? "puuuuttt your hands up."
