That Monday ...

It wasn't a good day today. Me with the women thing, the remaining essays and THE students, GOSH! it wasn't even Monday, it was a bliss Sunday eve that they shoke my peace! I woke up a bit late, nine-ish, too lazy to do things, I continued LOTR the last pair of DVDs. Finished that at about 2, I was sleepy again, tired... I dozed off while marking my final 4 essays. The weather was cool, slept for about 2 hours. When I woke up about 4 for lunch, I received a msg; "Salam, Mdm, when is our debate?" Idiot. "2molo" Then followed by, "Sorry Mdm, can we postpone? Some of us aren't prepared yet" I didn't reply for sometime, must think of something nice to say to this hurt. After an hour later, " Since all of u r very bz, we dun hav to postpone, call it off and i give up teaching ur claz, we go to claz, u do ur work, i do mine, i only owe u 2 assessments. " PERIOD. Am done with them, I hate them. Took my bath, completed marking and watched boring shows on TV. Another sms came in, from a different person saying sorry, hoping that I wasn't mad .. Urgghhh! They just added salt to the wound. One interesting line " we'll be debating tomorrow whatever happen" Anything can happen i.e me walking out of class when they are debating? Nice. "Am not interested to listen." There, gone, silenced. Refusing to surrender, another came in; "Salam Mdm, am really2 sorry if my request is too much, very very sorry" HUH... "too late" Finally, they are quiet and am pissed! These are my students this year. The only bunch that has really put me in wrath almost all the time when dealing with them. I have had studentssssssss in my career path, but these ones r different, THEREFORE, am going to treat them differently, the way they asked for and the way it has always been should be.. Welcome Monday ... there's a deal I need to seal!
