This week was the first week of the music school year at Harvest.
I had serious thoughts of quitting there during the summer...
But, oh well.. God was leading me to teach them again.. so....now.. i am here to share about the first week of school with you.
I decided to go there just two days a week. Why? Last semester was just crazy and i was VERY TIRED of teaching kids and driving in traffic. Yeh.. how relaxing it is to go there twice a week!

Since i have limited days to work there now, I have 6 kids to teach on Tue.. man.... 6!! can you believe that? but.. they were so cute, adorable and smart! hehe.. especially, one of the new students is just a 5 year old girl and she's a PIANO GENIOUS! gosh.. i wish i can put her pic here.. when i first saw her in chinese traditional clothes, she reminded me of one of the cartoon characters from Dragon Ball. hehe..
yeh.. Tue was very busy... i was VERY tired again..

WED....GOSH.. something UNBELIVABLE happened..
i had some private students to teach on wed and then i had to run to Harvest to teach 4 kids .. man... i was already tired after the private lessons... so i went to harvest.. again, expecting 4 more cute, adorable and smart kids to come in for their first lessons.... i was waiting... waiting and waiting... but then, the first kid did not come... so i just hoped for the next to come to the lesson... waiting and waiting... but then... yeh... guess what? it was my UNLUCKY DAY.. NONE OF THEM SHOWED UP FOR THEIR FIRST PIANO LESSON OF THE YEAR..
MAN! the director of the music school kept saying, "Sorry... thanks for your patience... blah~ blah~"
it was not a good day for me.. i just wasted my time there sitting in front of the piano...
i was like.. "what's God trying to teach me??" man.. i still don't know why they didn't come... but hopefully, everything will be alright..

ok, on Thu.. i have more private students to teach... yup, i am just trying to work three days a week if it's possible.. hehe.. man~ you know how i get tired after thu? i'm just exahusted.. hehe.. but.. well, i am getting paid.. how good it is! hehe..
oh... yeh.. i teach this one boy on thu. He's a 2nd grader and you know how boys don't like to sit down and listen to what the boring teacher is telling him about "music". hehe.. but yesterday was just too MUCH!
as soon as i started to teach him something, he's like.. "I DON'T WANT TO PLAY!" and... he started whining~ MAN! i know i sometimes whine.. but guess what? this hyper boy would not stop doing it! he started to bang the keyboard and he kept hitting his head on the keyboard. man.. how crazy is that? After i dealt with him (like.. no homework for this week, if you play with me today.. etc...), he was alright.. after the lesson, his mom came to me and asked me how her son's doing.. and i was like.. "I CANNOT TEACH THIS KID! DIDN'T YOU SEE HIM TODAY?" She kind of looked surprised i said that.. and we called the boy to come and talk to us whether we should keep his lessons or quit. he kind of looked nervous because he had to make the decision in front of my face. hehe.. (i had avery serious look at that moment!-of course, no smiling!)
mmm... while he's making his decision, i was like.. "PLLLLLZZZ, STOP TAKING LESSONS.. I CANNOT DEAL WITH YOU, BOY!"
but then, his decision was that he wants to keep taking piano lessons.. yeh right! he likes playing?
anyways, after we sent him away, i talked to his mom how i don't want to be a mean teacher to kids such as yelling, slapping their hands stuff...

yes, i don't want to be a mean teacher.. i want my students to enjoy their playing! "MUSIC SHOULD BE FUN!"
no matter how they fart on my hand, i want to be nice to kids..
man.. it's just so hard being a teacher mentally, physically and spiritually!
the first week of school, and i am already tired!!
