Once again, I have been a victim of both stupidity and theft. Stupidity was my own doing as I left my teaching stuff unattended for less than 10 minutes. After my 12:30 class this morning, I hurried to my office to mark essays. A few minutes into my task, I realized I left my pencil case and my electronic dictionary in the classroom. I rushed back in to find that someone had walked off with my dictionary.
I still can’t believe it. This is the second time I was ripped off at Wilshire. I am so shocked that a student would actually still my dictionary. Especially one of my students since they are elementary school students…so young but I guess not young enough to know what is of value.
I didn’t get much sympathy from Jake and the other Koreans. Caroll told me I just have to be more careful. I understand that but my office is right beside the damn classroom. I can’t believe that one of those brats (if it was one of my students) would be so bold when I am in the very next room.
Uggh! And I was having a good week. But today I cheated on my diet. I had ice cream (low fat) and I didn’t do any exercise. And to tell the truth, yesterday I skipped my work out and I had a beer at Obs. I’m falling apart. I look like a whale and I just got my period. Oh the agony of it all.
I am posting a pic of my dictionary so if anyone sees it please send it to me right away.
