This was in reference to me whining about having to spend 3 days a week going to KoolBlueSkool - today it just became 4 days due to my uber enthusiastic (or desperate) korean student. I am disturbed by people who uncannily identify the obvious contradictions in my being.
I must admit going to KoolBlueSkool has lately been fun due to one particularly bad-ass, in your face student. The ones with attitude are the most exhilarating to teach because of the challenge. Last term it was Chatterbox the monkey face puller. This time, it's a 14 year old female, whose favourite phrases include
"What?! Are you 15 or something?" and
"I can't do this, dude!"
And the first thing she says everytime she walks through the door is,
"I'm going to play my way, ok, don't make me change anything."
Everything she does contradicts what she says - as much as she keeps saying everything is too hard, each week she whips out some complicated thing and ambitiously decides she is going to play it for the lesson, and then whines her way through it.
Today, she decided to make me play her complicated piece.
"No! I'm looking at this for the first time..."
"I don't care!"
"Ok fine. *played (and lost credibility)*
"...showoff...(mumbles)"
Whatever.
Anyway I figure no one will really believe she is totally evil because she looks the spitting image of Eileen Boylan.
They even talk the same way.
Maybe each one of us has our split halves; sometimes we find them, sometimes we don't, and even if we find them, we might not necessarily like what we find because coming face to face with your doppelganger is scarily self-revealing. Unless of course, you're a thoroughbred narcissist.
