Another hot day in Hat Yai, i am in charge of teaching over 1000 students a week english, quite the daunting task, but what can i do, this is how it is here, a proverb i have always enjoyed from the I-Ching,
"eat, drink, and be merry, fate comes when it will."
In other words dont worry about what you cant change, and dont worry about what you can change, "just do it", in classes of almost 50, i wonder how many will actually learn anything, will just listening be enough, because i dont have enough time in one week for 1000 students, a month would be far more beneficial, but i do what i can, i dont think about what i would like to be doing tomorrow, i just try to help today, this is all i can do, an aid, i wish i could spend a bit more time with each student but that is just not possible, but if they can have fun at my expense then i dont mind just as long as it is in english, then everybody is happy, because i remember when i was a student, i wasnt the best behaved either, so how can i expect student of 12 to 15 to be any better behaved, i just hope they can learn more than what i did, and theyre like i can not read there language either otherwise those notes they pass around could be a lot more embarrassing then just having to answer a question on the board, but i will persist, and i have no choice but to learn and adapt, otherwise evrybody will suffer because i lack the ability to grow, this is not an option
