Surprise! Not a good joke

Before I arrived at my workplace, I was so excited because I know I will be having a new offline student apart from having 2 new ones. I expect 3 students this week. However, my excitement fell off after seeing only one remaining student on my schedule. Isn’t it surprising?

Though I’m a bit thankful because the remaining student has the curriculum I like to teach and talk about – which is Advance Topic Con. However, I pity my one student, who was with me on Monday, because she was transferred to another teacher. Even though she used to have me as her teacher but she has to adjust again.

At first, I wonder why she was transferred. I theorized that she doesn’t like me as her teacher. But another inference popped up into my thoughts, maybe THEY get my students because they need me as a backup teacher in TOEIC Classes. However, the final verdict comes. The second opinion was actually more plausible than the first one as I asked one of the schedulers and he told me the same.

Disappointment: Just an Option

I feel very bad today, not because I’m sick but because I feel that I am just an option.

Can you imagine that I was picked to join a TOEIC Training but here I am, assigned to a station where there is no computer and being stagnant. The training seems useless because I cannot use it due to the unavailability of computer. Yamaguchi students are coming, their curricula was dominated by Callan and TOEIC- two of my favorite curricula. But I cannot even handle one of these subjects.

Further, it’s both very sad and happy when you see that a student booked a class for you. Happy because at last for how many days of having no online student, there is a single student who wants to have a class with you. Sad because you know that the class was only substituted by you.

Middays of August: A Roller Coaster

The past two weeks were a roller coaster. I was happy because after my TOEIC Training, and after of having a wrong, finally, I already had a class. I was actually very happy because all of my students are still young.
The first one is so cute most especially when he smiles. His name is Akiyama, Shingo. Though he cannot really express himself in English still he always tries his best to communicate. He looks cuter when he thinks because sometimes, he will pout his lips, or bite them and everything that really makes me stop myself to connect mine to his. (This is gross! *whack!*) It is one of the reasons why I am always excited to go to work.

The second one is actually a shy student. He is also cute and has a sense of fashion. His name is Suzuki, Haruto He is just a False Beginner student but he is smart deep inside it’s such that he has no grasp of English vocabulary. I am comfortable with him it comes to the point that I joke at him and he has his most genuine smile and laughs. I also tried to ask my co-teachers to tell him that I was absent even though I was not.

Hopelessness is going on

It has been the second week of my TOIEC Training and it’s good, though I always feel intimidated because most of my co-trainees are QC’s and Trainers. Anyway, it’s not the point of this entry.

I am actually writing to pour out my frustrations. I am not liking the flow f my work-life now. I mean, I was really happy after receiving Miss Ysabel’s message in Skype saying that I will no longer be joining the Grammar Refresher trainees anymore cause I’ll be given students already. It’s what I always wish for, to teach and to meet different students. However, it has been a ploof!

First 2 Days of August: Getting Luckier

This is actually a late update because yesterday, we experienced an electricity breakout. I was actually planning to write at 10:00 PM however it suddenly becomes dark and then we were advised to go down.

Anyway, that was just the only thing bad that I can remember yesterday. The highlight of my day today is that I was unexpectedly informed by Sir Jaden, one of my trainers, that starting yesterday I will be joining the TOIEC Training. It made me appalled, confused but at the same time having the clue that I’ll be attending another training aside from the Grammar Refresher.
