I just dodged a bullet. A bullet of pure boredom, awkwardness and boiling spicy organs (probably). Adi called to ask if I was free this afternoon and, it being my birthday and all, I said maybe. I would have been free for being crowned King of Town and getting many and sundry presents. I was not free to judge a high school speech contest (which was what she was asking me to do). Thankfully, she didn’t care.
Last week the aggravating Leon phoned a couple of times for me to go out to dinner with her. Each time I lied and lied about how I was doing things with students (playing video games with Scott doesn’t have quite the same responsibility vibe). I think she minded a bit. She spreads rumours among her students that I am unable to talk to girls. When in actuality it’s just that I really don’t like her at all. Supposedly she’s a good Chinese tutor though.
Oral English this week has been surprisingly easy. I’ve just given them time to talk amongst themselves, interrupting every once in a while to add more questions. It’s hardly been painful at all. Hooray for minimal work on my part!
