Rabbit Rabbit!

Happy June! Oh Gosh I just love this month! It's that month in which we just play around, kick it into high gear for the exams, then graduate! Yaaay! Cheer! There's this Arabic song that's usually sung to brides about leaving their father's homes, but I tend to walk around singing it to myself for obvious reasons.

So today, I experienced RACISM. Well, a stupider form of it. I went to the grocery to get some missing ingredients to make oven fried chicken (mmm- healthy and good!) and I pretended not be able to read a price tag just to see what the two employees would say when I asked them how much a 2 pound ($0.4 CDN) pack of breadcrumbs was. Do you know what one employee said to the other? 'Tell her it's ten pounds.' Naturally, I freaked out in my HIGHLY accented Arabic and embarrassed the man to the point of no return. It was fun, but now I know that should I visit any place, I had better learn the language first! :)


Another thing that happened today was that the teachers had a meeting, and I was put in charge of alllllll the kids during lunch. They thought they could get away with things since there were absolutely no teachers on duty other than the lonely senior, but ohhhh boy were they wrong. They tried to get into fights, but by the time I got through with them, they were hugging each other. They tried to pants each other (GOD I hate that.. what a stupid idea!) but that was put to an end. Janitors tried to take the only soccer ball we had away, but that was resolved in a heart beat. By the end of the hour in which more events occurred, I was drenched in sweat from the heat and the merciless sun, my voice was hoarse and I resolved to using my beloved whistle, and all the older boys had developed a love/hate/respect relationship with me (it used to be just respect/hate, so we made progress). The best part? I loved every second of it!

I can't wait to become a teacher and have that established respect, and no bratty kids telling me that 'you're just a senior, Miss!'. Also, I want to part the kids in the hallways like Moses and the Red Sea.

Isn't that Kureiji?
