Still A Rocky Adjustment

Yesterday I had a crazy class with Stephanie. Usually I get her with another child who really has no energy but it just happens that I had an individual with her. Stephanie and I get a long really well, but this time it just all fell apart. She wants to play with me more than she wants to learn. I think I put myself into a really rought position, getting too friendly with the children. I don't know why she paid so much attention in the past, listening so well and then all of a sudden changing in my individual class. I've been pretty stressed about finishing the science because there are so many of these wretched lesson plans to finish (and I really have a hard time with them) and also because of the stress I've had with the deadline for them. They've gotten a bit easier I must admit after having done basically 20 of them. But I actually finished them today and then Erine dropped by to question what I've done for the day! He was basically telling me off and I got to the point where I got so angry I told him I can't talk about it now, I need to take off at this point. I wasn't in a state of mind to discuss it rationally. So I went out to get other things done. I dropped by extravaganza to find Hatty. She managed to help me exchange the present (yes!) for something similar but a bit more expensive. I went out to eat with Ada at a Macau style restaurant and I got a call from Phoebe clearing up the mess with Erine. Apparently Erine had heard Phoebe wrong and assumed I was waiting around for him to give me information to work on the webpage. Not knowing I had taught 4 classes that day and finished the remaining worksheets inbetween. I mean there probably was a total of an hour I probably could have been more productive but I decided to start fresh working on the web development the next day when I can approach it fresh.

Today I started on the web development and did nothing after work. I called Ada up and looks like she is kind of sick so I ended up walking around Causeway Bay alone and then buying some BBQ Pork in North Point for dinner. I swear I bought at that same place before and the person told me before that I had to buy $15 HKD worth of pieces. This time he told me $20 HKD was the min. Well, I bought it and it didn't taste great so there's no repeat business going there. The attitudes to running a business here is so different. I need to study it more when I get a chance, but it really is hard to trust the vendors as they are more concerned about their bottom line then they are for doing good.

I gave my roommate a call as well, looks like she'll be coming back Saturday from the Hospital.
