i like to trip at the weekends

i keep harping on about this to anyone who will listen, but i do rather love my job.

i just get so happy and excited when a lesson is going well and everyone's all into it and talking and laughing and caring and making notes and making jokes and being all good at english. yay.

and when my students look super happy to see me outside of class, or they tell me i have nice clothes or that i'm a good teacher, or even that I'm their favourite teacher (the clothes bit does take priority though, but don't tell Niall.) today i was telling my lesson 4 class that they are cute for doing all their homework so neatly and luca said 'you're really cute and really funny, it's incredible'...i think the meaning may have been massively distorted by 1) his avvers english skillz and 2) my intense creepy lust for his tall, cheesy, swiss/italian/austrian ways (still can't work out his confusing heritage, blatantly FIT LAND SEX-GOD-VILLE lololololol etc.............. :/) BUT STILL.

this whole post is a bucket of cringey awfulness whyyyy brain... (didn't sleep properly cause Yoko woke me up by being a fat purry shit)

ANYWAY.

i love teaching yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayy i never thought it would make me this happy/that i could even contemplate teaching adults, let alone 'adults' who are actually mainly 16 - 35 year olds THE MOST TERRIFYING AGE GROUP SURELY. and actually be quite good at it, sort of. although i fear that letting luca play his dvd of 'Friends with Benefits' (JT's most thought provoking acting role to date.........) for the last 20 minutes of class today was not really a professional masterstroke...

other things i love:

staff meetings

how half the staff are top sexy handsome/beautiful exciting dynamic adventurous young men and women who are warm, engaging, stylish, hilarious, liberal, extroverted, passionate BABES (with a strong knowledge of english grammar) and how the other half are top glamorous/hippy/vaguely middle class (or slightly socially awkward) handsome/beautiful exciting dynamic adventurous middle aged men and women with an even more immaculate knowledge of english grammar.

THE BEST PART IS PAUL (fave man evs, clearly dreamy back in the day, he has floppy brown fireworks for hair, a tiny japanese wife and brings his lunch to work wrapped in a red and white lebanese handkerchief everyday like puss in boots) . anyway i love him and i love that he photocopies the guardian crossword every day for everyone to do during break time OHHHHH DREAM LIFE.

also my fave babes luca and aziz (best smile in the business and defo in brighton to come out as a cheeky lovely gay, post-oppressive muslim upbringing in da UEA.... ) POSSIBLY BUT DAT IS JUST SPECULATION.

i sincerely hope no one reads this.
