Belgium Day 5: The first day of class.

I think i nearly cried.

I had a boy who is on ADHD meds,
a boy who does cartwheels in class
and a boy who daydreams.

I have only 5 children to look after
but they were an absolute nightmare.

Well not all of them,
there was a Russian boy
and the only girl in my class
were quite eager to learn English.

I really lost it
when one of the boys lied to me
and instead of going to the toilet
like he asked my permission to,
he ran off to somewhere else
and I had to shout down the corridor
just for him to come back.

They were falling off chairs,
drawing on each other's books and pants(?)
and I just couldnt control the class
especially when they couldnt speak
a word of English!

Ive been wanting to use the pool
but i never get the time to
and planning lessons after lessons
are fkin tiring.

Im only glad im here for only 4 weeks
unlike some who are here for 2 months.

Anyhow, there's always a silver lining
and Im glad I had mine today
that came in a simple email
which absolutely made my day.
