I woke up Monday morning with a message from my friend Callie telling me that Orange is the New Black would be cancelled, even after renewing for a third season! I was distraught, to say the least, and infuriated by the article she attached. It took me until I googled the TV show to find that it was a hoax, and an easily believable one at that. Apparently many people were outraged and confused about why the show would be cancelled especially based on the reasons given. Empire News posted the original story that started all the hullabaloo, but that particular news site is full of satire. I think I've seen a post on there before about President Obama forgiving all federal student loans. Haha, as if Congress would ever let that happen in our lifetime! Anyway, I was able to set the record straight for her and avoid saying anything stupid in a public realm in regards to the article. Must remember: fact check everything I read on the internet. Nothing is sacred!
My weekend was pretty decent. I was dreading the art concert most of Saturday, but I'm happy it's over and done with. I don't know how well I did and, at this point, I don't care. My personal assessment is that I have a lot of work to do on improving nerves and not getting distracted by instrumentals, but oh well. I think everyone else did wonderfully, though. On Sunday I ended up staying home all day. I was so grateful for time to myself. I avoided the theater meeting that was happening like the plague because, as I suspected, it was full of nonsense drama I no longer want to be involved in. I'm leaving in December. If I decide to be involved in the theater while in Daegu any further I'll audition for parts when an opportunity arises and leave it at that. I am no longer interested in being involved in the politics. I have better things to put my stress and worry towards right now.
I HATE TUESDAYS. Tuesdays are the absolute devil at my school. Middle school exams are done, so my schedule is back to normal. Seven straight classes in a row. OH boy! I have seven classes on Fridays as well, but somehow it's better. I think I dislike my students on Tuesdays so much more than my Friday students. Days like Tuesday really make me wonder why I continue putting up with the garbage nonsense here. Seriously, 7 classes without a break? In what world is that ever ok? I have one class on Tuesday that is absolutely terrible. The last class I taught with them before exams started, I kicked one of the students out for being repeatedly rude and disrespectful to a point where I was going to do something really bad if he didn't GTFO. His Korean teacher had to babysit him for the rest of the class. GOOD. Once he left the classroom, balance and order was restored. It shouldn't have been that simple, but it was. He's the ringleader of chaos and disorder in my class. It's not ok. I try to go into my classes with a fresh outlook that things will be better this time, and I am not always successful. I just need to stop caring about everything. When I get into those mindsets the class or day is usually better.
Tuesday's classes are just about to begin... say a little prayer for me.
