What a long day. Monday and Wednesday are bastards. Four lessons and one hour & half adult class in the evening. Today, however, wasnt too bad. In fact I rather enjoyed it. The reason being is that I had a relatively quiet weekend on the drinking front, I felt fresh and invigorated for once in my life. Unfortunatelt though, I am running out of patience with my first K5 class. It's infuriating because there are some able, enthusiastic kids but it's severely affected by a couple of individuals who insist on speaking in their native tongues and generally being silly beggars. Nine sets of parents are getting a raw deal because of two pricks. Thankfully, Borja popped in today for a random visit and I was able to convey to him the situation. He hinted that he may be altering the class. Happy days.

The A3 class (intermediate) went well today despite a sticky topic, past simple, continuous and perfect. Timelines are the best method to teach these complex tenses, no doubt. A couple of them struggled to be honest but the rest got it. That will do.

Fecking brilliant, we've got a holiday next week and its payday on Thursday. Time to go shopping. Great victory for Utd over the weekend, Scholes has found a decent optician by the looks of it.
