so i'm pretty definate about not going anywhere far for winter break. i only have weeks, and i'd like to get ahead with my work so i can stop staying in so late all the time. kinda sad though...i was really hoping to go to japan...or australia...or hawaii....

if only i could put up with the cold..maybe a whistler trip wouldn't be out of the question...oh well...for now even the bay area is too cold for me

i felt really bad about missing my hs play. one of my students really wanted me to go watch. he's been spending a lot of time doing rehearsals for that. so much time that he hasn't been doing my hw. but he's a good kid. just lazy. i guess they're all like that...actually, i take that back...a lot aren't so "good".

it's funny how this school keeps these kids in line. it pretty much forces them or else they're out. so they have all these rules and regulations to follow, you'd wonder how these kids would behave if they didn't have such strict rules. like when they get out into the real world. i guess the school philosophy is that they'll learn how to behave here and then when they grow up, they'll act properly. but for a lot of them, i see them just resenting authority and such, and then they get crazier when they get out...
