Fifty - not out. Too old for this?

Choriso brought a little choir to sing at me & iLeader interviewed me. Nice!

Barn Owl booted a football up a mum's bum...hilarious, but then bizarrely then tried to rub it better!
I'd have been arrested for that!

Jim Time = "How's the Weather" building a roller. Stealing coffee & soft drink cans from the bins. Not as planned but process a success. I think.

Fisting crayons, anyone?

Cherry blossom streaming off the trees today

Very tired sleep, drove again due rain. Noticing new things after Dot's highlights yesterday eg miscreant Kotaro in blue the only one fisting crayons; his picture is shite (immature & lacking any definition - despite being one of the biggest/oldest/gobbyest). One leftie, which I think Yuki is too. Think Dot's easel idea important too.

Barn Owl plays piano with wildly changing tempo & in different keys. Knows what she is doing (?) but is doing it differently. Started a song I don't know this morning & expected me to join in & carry it on...sat still & looked confused! What would you do, dear reader?

Dogs' heads origami not done step by step but left to do it once shown. Drawing around it very revealing of kids & group think - similarities by table. Teacher wrote students' brief descriptions of their pictures on the back & reads these to class. 30 of them, so kids still again. Very.

A very demanding boy - my job?

In-class debut with Barn Owl hijacked by Yuki from the green class, who seems to behave "better" when sanction of not playing with me applied. Not doing a year of this, ffs. Patience very fucking thin.

Thursday morphed into Friday as well, being manhandled & for bonus points puked on by Yuki again. Shattered & at my wits-end by home time, with Choriso looking even worse. This included trying to keep a promise to Syouri (odd Yuri's little brother from last year). Essentially sitting next to him while he did nendo. Yesterday was nodding off next to Anri, a lovely girl, doing her coloring? Jesus on a bike, hypnotic.

The Rhapsody

Today included Barn Owl going weird like an evangelical nutter at Easter - rapture or something as she expected me to perform like a clown at the drop of a hat. Oh, Jim = instant Jim Time?

No, you may not have me jump through that little hoop.

New Faces

Debut with Sarong in her class, & very underwhelmed. Colour by numbers with a weak voice & lack of personality; looks & sounds like she still has the old college playbook in mind & unable to react/interact with kids. Piano time = lack of participation > correction, just faded out.

Making hamburger papers as marker things - slow. The afternoon walk around the school & yard exploring rules, but with no authority or attention. Barn Owl looked fine, strange voice but audible; this one conveys no message - just copying bits other people have shown her. No flow.

Helter Skelter

This year's dummy-spitting performed by Syouri-kun, being looked after by Rambo. Madge hovering as Sarong assumes her room; smocks on, who am I sitting next to drill?

Barn Owl has a circle with introductions going on, & Choriso plows-in, piano blazing (already won the get ready in the hall prize). Minnie's debut nose bleed already tackled.

iLeader as Regimental Sergeant Major; the Boss greets assembly everyone & picks out names in each class sitting nicely. Teachers quick self-introduce themselves... Minnie won.

Tsutomi = middle lot, 5 teachers on deck today, so keeping out the way
Hana = older lot, Minnie taking the lead.

At first glance, Barn Owl has the miscreants, Sarong the armchair ride. Curious to see which of Allan's bad boys grow up.  Will Super Dry be a baby with Minnie ?(I think so).

Obviously so at lunch, found my level with Minnie. Kids testing parameters, establishing dominance. Revisit the useless nendo time, with MMA from some.

Rain cancels the walk around the block = request for 20 mins or so; quick plan for super easy intro, but even that had 50% conking out tired & sleepy. Long day for all (Minnie herself even yawning but says doing Ego Benkyo - English homework).

PANSIG coming together. Good.
Death up Luna street? Confirmed.
Angrily storming out of the house last night upset my daughter...almost as much as me.
Request to teach a part-time class at Epson - hilarious!
