The Wormlips Scrapbook

It’s been a hard week, this last of the semester, with a persistent plagiarizer, a near mutiny about my final being unfairly difficult, and pleading students emitting buckets of tears because of not passing the class. I’m too soft-hearted not be be bothered, but too serious to succumb to pressure.

I asked my students to complete a survey about my classes. Here is a sampling of their comments:

• I can learn very good ,important,common,grammar.I must get English very will.
• I don’t like writhing because Im not good for writing.
• The textbook and workbook are too heavy to bring everyday.
• The papers of homework that I’ve done are my treasure.
• I do not like my textbook,it always made me feel boring.
• I hope Ginna can experience something clear.
• I liked to do homework. Because I could review my class and feel teacher’ effort(love).
• You are the great teacher. You always tried to teach more excitingly
• I think your granddaughter is so cute!

I work three days next week, and have three days off after that. Then, while the other teachers take a three-week break, I will begin my new job. My title will be Assistant Program Manager/Instructor, which is actually quite impressive, if you ask me. Some of the work may not be earth-shatteringly exciting, but I expect to learn a great deal about the field of international education. And some of it should be inspiring. I think I’ll get to collaborate on cool stuff like curriculum development and assessment. I’m lucky to have such a great opportunity.

Tra la la. So there the end love Ginna.

How To Go on a Date by M. Zhang

If you want to have a good date, these idea might help you. First, call her to ask a date with you. You should call her and ask, “Do you have time this week?” and wait for her answer. Second, choose a fancy restaurant. For example, if the girl is Korean, you should search a Korean restaurant. Maybe the girl think you are nice guy. Then, go to the restaurant then order the food that she likes it. A nice guy should give her a chance to choose food what she wants. While you are eating, talk about interesting topic. You need to make her happy by talking about lots of topic what most girls like. For example, you can talk about bags and shoes. After the dinner, go to a movie. To choose a comedy movie, such as “we bought a zoo,” so it can make her fun. Finally, bring her to go her home early, like 9 p.m. Don’t let her parents worry. She may wants to have next day with you. Follow these steps, I think you can get a good date.

I sound like an idiot when I talk to Emmy. How big is the BAYbeee! Bora bora bora — boooo. Where’s EMber? THERE she is! I fear for her future:

I asked my 12 kids to write about the one profession they would least like. A third chose doctors, down there with butcher and Walmart greeter. Here’s why:

• I like free time job. Also, it’s too boring. Check and cure people every day. I think it’s difficult for me to do the same thing every day. I don’t like biology. And I think organ is really horrible. I don’t have courage to touch. I am really afraid of the knife and organs. —Elaine
• I don’t like the smiling about [smell of?] medicine. I am afraid of blood. Some wounds can scared me. It is a very big responsibility. Sometimes a very small mistake will kill someone. If I’m a doctor I need to accustomed to see some people lose their life and the hole family cry. That will make me to think about my grandpa who was dead. —Danly
• My dad is a doctor. When I was three years old, my whole family lived in a hospital apartment for worker who has worked in hospital. I saw a lot of people died or got health. I never forget the smell from this hospital. If you live in the hospital, you will see people cry, people yell, people happy, people nervos, etc. I think that hospital is a hell when I was a child. Because people have a lot of pain, that is why they came to hospital. Some people died. They maybe went to the heaven or the hell. So that is why I don’t want to do it. —Daisy

And why not Walmart?

• A Walmart greeter works from morning to evening. Their work is to say something to the customers. When they see the customers then they have to say hello, good buy and have a good weekend. —Ripon
