Thanks, addidasss and ribbons! If you choose to, you can both consider yourselves promoted to Teacher's Pet and can sit at the front of the class - but perhaps you prefer to be with the rebels in the back row

Kudo's to you Lisna. You have one of the hardest jobs on the planet if you ask me.

I'd probably be the smart ass know it all.

What subject do you teach, Lisna? You're doing what I wish I had gone into in retrospect.

With you as the teacher I wouldn't mind sitting up front for the first time in my life, Lisna - which is saying a lot, because I've always dreaded sitting up front.

Elph, congrats on your return to school and glad you're taking it well. My son started college in person and is hating every minute of it.

^ Thanks for the compliment, ribbons I'm sorry if your son isn't happy at college, but with luck that will change, after all it takes a few months to settle in and make any proper friends in a college.

^ Good for you, Elph! I wonder what you're studying - and also wonder how we'd be if you were in my class

I'm just teaching English Language to Spanish speakers, rubber soul; it's pretty easy because I don't need to master a whole bunch of esoteric facts. I just have to know the grammar of my own language, which of course we all have buried inside us from the age of about 11 onwards.
Yes, it's a very satisfying profession afaiac. A lot of human interaction, and as teacher you can physically move around in the room as much as you like, which I like. It can be a little stressful at times, but I find the time goes pretty quickly.
What kind of work you have done in your life, rs ?

Thanks for the kudos, Plankton, but it's not really deserved for what I do: I teach fairly small groups of well-disposed high-school and university students, so no serious discipline problems. No way I could survive in the school environment that Occult Hawk found himself in: large groups of disinterested/hostile students.

^ Good one, Batlord!! It absolutely stunned me to learn that kids just instinctively get this right without ever having been told about it.

And then when it got cold we went to my place and talked about life, the universe and all the rest until like 3am.

I have this big ass home cinema, and she was like "hey, let's watch a movie and discuss it as it progresses", and I played "The Yellow Submarine", and she said it was one of the funkiest **** she'd ever seen.

And we went to sleep at 6am, and woke up at 10am, and we spent the whole day together, just drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes and talking.

And we listened to a ****-ton of music and each time one of us played something, the other one reviewed it in a most sophisticated way.

And as it happens we share an absurd amount of emotions and thoughts about the world, including the - so called - hatred for humankind and this weird form of narcissism (where you're just being serious and "objective").

And at like 7pm we got up and went out, as she was supposed to go back home, and I had a band rehearsal (we have a concert tomorrow night), and as we parted we had this awkward moment of not knowing how to say "bye".

And, you know, we didn't make love or kiss this entire time, but pretty much at all times she'd lean her head on may shoulder, and it was just a magic feeling.


And well, I suppose I'm in love (and I do not use that word lightly)

These two days were one of the best I've had in my life (and I think I never said this...like never).



Long story short:

It was great





[Well, she's an ENTP and a zodiacal Lion, while I'm an INTJ and a zodiacal cancer, so I suppose it was to be expected]

And she's a smoker to boot? Sounds like a winner.
