Candyyyyy<3! And kids, ugh. ><;
Summer has definitely dipped below average after June ended. Landed a job. Pro: making cash for my spending habits. Con: hate the place, the bosses, the hours, the pay.
My kids are a little well-behaved. Well, half of them anyway. There are a few that are especially out there on the behavior scale. I yell at those a lot. It wouldn’t be too bad teaching during the summer if it wasn’t for my bosses. While the kids are excessive in acting out at times, overall they aren’t absolutely horrifying. They’re not too bad one-on-one.
The bosses, however… well they are a special category of douchebaggery. All they care about is money, money, money. I know a lot of people can be like that but seriously, I have never in my 20 years met anyone like them before this summer. They pay a crappy amount to the teachers in an extremely shady fashion, overcharge the parents by double the amount, and are disgustingly strict with the hours they give to the teachers and volunteers. Not to mention they are extremely condescending and patronizing. I can say without a doubt that I hate hate hate working for them. So has every other employee who has had the terrifying experience of working for them.
Anyway, this summer (other than work) has kind of been a bit bland. We haven’t really done much. And the thing that’s disappointed me the most so far is the weather. It’s been way too rainy and cold as far as the summer goes. And I’ve only had the chance to go to the beach once so far. DIS-A-PPOINT-ING. Hopefully it’ll be much much better before school starts
Cross your fingers dears!
I have to finish grading tests now so time to cut this short. :[ Toodles!

My dad hates those private summer school places cause they just want your money…they use volunteers so they don’t have to pay as many people, and the pay is crap for the teachers ;( He got angry one summer when I went to volunteer for one. But I guess for the sake of earning some cash for the summer, you’ll have to suck it up for a few more weeks…don’t worry, you can do it! Hang in thereeeee!! <333
