lost in translation


this just in:

"mr? You sound just like Harry Potter"

"you're the most handsome teacher we've had ever" (nice try, Quasimodo (that's really his name (really)))

speaking of names, one of my new students was doing an exercise on the blackboard and as i passed him the chalk, i wanted to appear inclusive and asked him what his name was.

he casually threw me a "Uber-Fuhrer Heidrich" and I shouted at him for being inappropriate.

but it was on the fucking register. of course. Uber-Fuhrer Heidrich.

his homework is to pick a new name.

my students keep inviting me to come with them into town and they'll show me all the best spots and all the best things to eat. it's an obvious trap, but also they did mention foooood. they are already discovering my weaknesses...

one of them asked me to a badminton match as well, so now i need to pretend to be busy or injured for the rest of the year because these kids are super mega hyper crazy badminton pros. or train every day and hope i catch them when they're all ill one day and steal delicious victory.

oh, and these are my new friends
 stay fresh,
