"Is there an aNAIM club today?"
I watched Yuyu Hakusho today... and thought it was incredibly stupid. That dork with the red hair is VERY IRRITATING. I just wanna smack him XD. Other than the bishonenity of the shishi-dude, the show seemed to offer very little 0_o. Or maybe it was just a bad episode.
I also watched Kenshin, and realized it was "Rurouni" not "Rouruni" Kenshin XD. IT ALL SOUNDS THE SAME TO ME, AHHH! I think I watched a bad episode too, but this episode's bad didn't nearly compare to Yuyuhakusho... I rather like Kenshin's english voice. Sonosuke on the other hand... #*(^%#@&%(@. His Japanese voice was so cool ;__;. And he wasn't in this episode much. I really think the series has a lot of historic credibility... something I don't understand at all, so... maybe I'll watch it some more ^_^*. Omg, Japaneez hisoree. Another thing that irritated me was the fact that Heart of Sword was played for about one minute in the ending, maybe less 0___o. That song's pretty cool...
AND IN NON-ANAIM NEWS...
I finished French teaching today. Did I even mention that I *taught* kindergardeners in this thing? 0_o. Probably not. Let us relive the experience...
The best part of all this was uh... driving down to Olivet elementary school in Brenda's "tribble truck" XD. Jeremy had such a kick out of this, the truck made this this "tribble tribble" sound whenever it started up. But then the truck broke down one day and we piled up in her sports car instead ;_;. The ride there was very nice, vineyards and windy hills, despite the blaring rap music she put on every day -_-. Heh, that part I didn't enjoy.
The other thing I'll miss is the traditions of Jeremy and me XD. Heheh, I musta made the right choice when I went up to him that one day and said "You wanna be my partner". He's so kewl, ^__^. Our most important tradition was doing the hopscotch in the playground before we got in. I made that tradition up! The second one was the "are you nervous" conversation where *RIGHT* before we enter the classroom, we tell each other how nervous we should be... It went something like this every thursday...
"Are you nervous? Well, you should be nervous. They're going to KILL you today! They'll eat you alive! Those kindergardeners... wow. You should be nervous. Are you nervous yet, you should be... Are you nervous? Are you nervous??"
^__^. The last tradition occured like twice... It involved playing with this bouncy ball in the school parking lot before we left. One day, one of us found it and had fun bouncing it around. But Jeremy kept forgetting to bring it and today he told me he lost it when I asked for it last night. AHHH ;__;. He said we'd see it again, though. I don't know about that...
The last 3 times, Meghan joined us. I didn't really like that because BOTH her and Jeremy were very dominating, and they both talked excessively... so last 3 weeks, I really didn't do much >_<.
I think we were ineffective in a lot of ways because as a group, we didn't put enough effort as I thought we should have into teaching... the other student-teachers spent lots of time making activities. I was into the french songs, though. Our kiddies were exposed to a LOT of those... Hehe... they really didn't learn a LOT because of this... I'd be surprised if they remember "bonjour, salut, and au revoir" after a week's time ^_^*. Their teacher was REALLY into the numbers with them, so they should know those pretty well too... We did far too much vocabulary... with kids that little, I think we should have just focused on a few select words each week.
Jeremy had his favorite. Madeline, the red-head XD. She was so cute and always participating in class very well. "She has HIGH, HIGH potential" , he said XD. He once told me how when we had to chose students for different things he would always wander back to her XD. Hehe... I'd say that I liked Emily... the little girl who would always grab onto my legs( ^_^*) , and Nathan... this little African American boy who participated well too and wore digimon shirts XD. There were a few problem children.
Patrick... Patrick... Oh gawd, this kid did NOT want to pay attention. ADD at its finest, I swear. He would always wander towards this box with play equipment and mess around with things in it, and I'd always be the one keeping the kids attentive too ^_^*. Their teacher was SUPER strict with them, but still, Patrick always seemed to be far too lucky with not being disciplined enough by her... One day he wandered up to Jeremy and showed him his scratch on his arm. "Look, you have one too!" He said, pointing at his neck ^_^*. Hehe... Patrick was quite the annoying little bugger. I think though, at his age, I was near the same 0_o. I hope I didn't torture poor high school students who may have taught me XD.
There was so much more I'd have liked to have done for them... but I blame chronic depression for it. I really felt intimidated by them or something... plus, Jeremy was GOOD at talking ^_^*. A few times, I was gone and had to leave him all alone to teach ^_^*. One time with the flu, another time with Disney Land. He made sure that I nevvver forgot that either.
*phew* Enough of this. I have to do WORK. AHHH. >__<. Okey... I'm been so tired lately. ;_;. I think I must RESIST staying up past like... 10 tonight ~_~.
