new lessons at ecc

Okay... this will be a funny post for those of you who know me well.
Let's play a game...
What am I most scared of?
If you answered with the word snake.. (as I normally call them s-words) you get a prize. Post back if you knew the answer and maybe I will send that to you in the mail! haha

So. This is the story.
It is a brand new month here at ECC and I went into class with no idea what books I was teaching... we couldn't seem to find them. I was told my book was called "We went Walking"... but it is actually called, "I Can See." In class we read this book about different colours and animals who are those colours and carry out various activities to help with comprehension.

Okay. I am in class. I found the new book. We open it up, and I read aloud to the class. A few pages in, what is dead center in the middle of the book? The biggest flipping yellow s-word I have ever seen! NO JOKE! What am I supposed to do? I mean if you know me well you know that this fear is actually a phobia and I can't even see a picture of this creature without feeling nervous. I can't act different... can you imagine if you were my student and you found out this valuable information? Put yourself in the shoes of a kindergarten student. My teacher is extremely afraid of snakes, what do I do? Answer: EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO SHOW HER SUCH PICTURE EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY!

This is going to be an interesting month. (SIDE NOTE: This stupid I can see yellow s-word is HUGE and its' mouth is open with fangs ready to attack.) Thanks ecc... too bad phobia's couldn't be added to contracts!

My day ended well though... my last class of the day is really fun. I have told you about this before. I have a university student I tutor. He comes to class everyday with his own material, so I don't have to prep a thing! Yes! :)
In his class the lesson was about fortune telling. I asked him if he understood what that meant while we looked at pictures of palm reading, astrology, fortune cookies, crystal balls and tarot cards.
His response was comical! He said that he knew about the crystal ball because of Whoppi Goldburg in some movie I don't remember, fortune cookies.. well I guess because everyone knows about that.. and tarot cards because he knows it is all lies! haha I laughed and asked why he would say that.
He told me he went and he hated it. He said, two years later he still wants his money back! He told me he had a girlfriend, but not anymore. The tarot lady said he was a "play boy", a guy with many girlfriends. His girlfriend said he was crazy.. but he said no no no! (Of course all of this is explained with a lot of gestures and broken English). It turns out, she was the "play girl" and this fortune teller got it all wrong. He partly blames her for his life being single hahah. He won't go back.. it is all lies and makes me have no girlfiend he says! hahah. Give me my money back, 5000 won too much!

Now for my last class of the day! The bell just went!
