My GOD. I volunteered at an elementary school (don't ask, really) for the second time in two weeks and ended up with the same four kids. The only boy was a tad difficult but usually caved in to me. It was the three girls that were troublesome. One was a downright BULLY to the other, so eventually I tactfully switched places with the bullied girl, and things improved after that. Of course, then the other girl (seperate from the bullying thing) got berated by the teacher and looked like she was going to cry, so I had to leave my blockade-seat and go help HER, meanwhile the boy was settlign down but the bully was trying to make up for lost time so I helped the crying girl and kept asking the bullied girl how she was doing on the sentances and ... UGH.
But eventually it was all fixed and before my group left the girl who'd almost cried gave me a hug. I felt like I'd saved the world.
I'd like to see members of the UN volunteer in a first grade classroom. Really, I would.
In other news, I looked FABULOUS today, it's wet and cold out, my flying lesson will probably be canceled AGAIN, and I'm going to work on S5 tonight. (Almost done episode 1! We've got a beta! Woohoo!)

This is why I decided that teaching wasn't really something I was up for just yet. ^_^

Date: 2008-09-27 05:38 pm (UTC)They couldn't handle it, lol. But it sounds like you did a great job! =D And yay for episode 1 being nearly done! AND we have a beta! =3 But...guh X_X I is getting over a very small period of depression--I started to work on a sequel to Chaotic return yesterday, wrote a whole, whole lot on it and then after I saved it to my floppy disk to move it to my comp, I lost most of the data! I have a small, small amount of what I wrote left. ;______________________; *cries*
But...I realized that I can't dwell on it, so I'm going to redo it (and be more careful about saving this time! No more saving other stuff on the floppy disk I am using to save a fic on! I mean, I have other disks to work with.)
The only thing I am going to say about the sequel to Chaotic Return is... there shall be more crossover-ness besides Heroes/TDK. =P AND Mirror Master shall make a return...xD
