Classes

On Friday, I was reading a passage from a book to help the kids figure out an answer, and one of the girls said I didn't have any intonation. I thought that was quite funny coming from a seven year old ESL kid. I apologized and said that I always speak in a monotone. What she really wanted was for me to change my voice when I switched from the narrator to spoken words, but the only personal speaking out loud in the story at that time was the narrator herself, so what was I supposed to do?

Today I started my new schedule. It was grueling. I had seven classes. The first four were completely back to back, then I had a twenty minute break, during which time I scarfed a cup o' noodle. I was almost faint from having gone five hours without food and expending all that energy trying to fill up those little cups of knowledge. After my fifth class I had a fifty minute supper break, then two classes back to back from 7 to 9. Now I have about three hours of homework to correct. At least the kids don't suck.
