*Grrrrr*...
I'm sick of hearing HK people equating beauty with poundage. It's also annoying that HK people think a person is "fit" if he/she is thin. Grrrr...
I flip on the telly, and there's this bloody chinese weight-loss show about how much weight 5 people lost. I also get all these flyers in the mail about various weight-loss clinics around HK. And y'all wonder why I have insecurities about myself?
Honestly, I know I'm not fat. I know I could stand to go to the gym a tad more often and tone up a bit, but seriously... I really don't look half bad in a bikini. The only reason I don't wear one, is because I haven't worn one since I was... 8. Well, I took the first step and bought myself one. All I have to do now, is find an occasion to wear it. Beach next week, anyone?
I had a bit of a fright today. The class I teach on Tuesdays is supposed to be a "drama" class. But... the kids can barely read, and the room's tiny and set-up for more traditional classes. I told the director of the school (the big head), and she said that it's alright for me to work on reading with the children... but the Principal came to me yesterday and said that ONE kid was joining the class today, and the class had to be a "drama" class because he wanted it. Uh... hello? Just 'cause ONE kid wants it? Anyways, the principal also told me how I should be teaching the class, and I had problems with that. The director hired me because of my style and my methods, and for safety reasons I had not conducted the lessons in any other ways. So... anyways... I tried what the principal "suggested" today.... and boy oh boy, were we close to having our pants sued off.... The kids were moving about and one of the tables got knocked over. A little girl lost her balance as the table was going over, and the table VERY nearly crushed her head, and it's a HEAVY table! It all happened in slo-mo... I freaked out. So I just stopped everything and we just did a bit of writing and colouring instead. I'm still freaking...
Seriously... there's a reason why I'M the teacher and SHE'S the principal.... and I'd like to keep it that way...~
