Kids are an Adorable Pain in the Bum

Work doesn't seem fun anymore. It was exciting the first few days, but now my body is starting to feel the affect it has on me. I'm so tired lately :P!

There are some highlights/good things about the job though. The kids are just adorable!!(except for the few annoying ones). There's this one kid who reminds me of like a child monk xD. He's just so cute >w<. Lol I don't know why, but I have this fascination with monks :3. They're always so awesome in Chinese movies xD. ..sigh~ I watch too many movies :P. Anyways, back to subject. This kid though must have parents with good style taste because  for a first grader he has unusually stylish clothing that looks so cute x3. I love helping him too! He's one of the only kids there who actually tries to learn and do his work!! I also like how he's innocent and not snobby like some other kids.
I also like the part about my job where I get to walk these two children home. They live close by, so Boss-Lady has me walk them. One is a fourth grader boy, and the other is his first grader sister. They're both a hilarious duo xD. Always teaching me weird Chinese words LOL. Sigh~ but they're also kind of weird xD. The little girl today kept trying to smack my bum!! That's a real big no no zone! The boy likes to run around the place. So hard to keep up with him. Where do kids get all their energy?!

Today, I figured out that Kohai-chan has favoritism towards the kids ^ ^;;. Not that good because it makes a ton of them complain and whine. It can get really annoying. The kids all seem to like her though. I think they're warming up to me as well. Not many see me as an "authority figure." More of a ...very nice teacher lady(?). Thus, whenever I tell them to do something or say an order, they don't listen. ^ ^;; I'm too nice when it comes to children. I made one girl cry though! I felt so bad > <. She kept throwing puzzle pieces everywhere! I told her to nicely stop throwing them. She wouldn't listen. She actually had the nerve to ignore me! So I told her to stop it with a more enforcing tone, and stopped her hand from throwing the puzzle pieces. That crazy girl just wouldn't stop! So I grabbed onto them. She wouldn't let go. I started pulling onit, and started using my "scary, I'm going to blow up on you any second" authority voice. The girl is nuts though! My scary voice always works!! But it had no effect on her. She started screaming and crying, and I was just sick of it. The sound was killing me ears > <. The other kids were like "Just let her throw it. She's crying!" I was like "No way! She's not getting anything just because she cries." I really hate it when kids use the "if I don't get my way, I'm going to start crying" threat. Crying shouldn't have that kind of threatening power, so you won't get any sympathy from me just because you cry to get something (that's my belief anyways). Sigh~ so Kohai-chan came and was like, "What's going on?" Luckily, I didn't get in trouble for making a little girl cry ^ ^;;. Kohai-chan was smart enough to know that it was her throwing a tantrum. I was so shocked though because this little girl seems so nice, and she just randomly started throwing a fit. I didn't know what to do at the time Dx.

So the children can be a positive and a negative :P.

First Time on the Job ;D

I got my first job yesterday !! Yay~ ^ ^!! I'm very excited.
I was going to tell you all about it yesterday after it happened, but I didn't get finished with all my homework until 12, and I have to wake up at 6 am D': so I didn't get the time to blog. Forgive meh please OTL ! lol I'm gonna blog about it now, so I guess no worries x3.
It was all very shocking/surprising when it all happened. In truth, I didn't plan or ask for the job xD. Yesterday, when I came out of the school building after my after school activities, I saw my dad's car drive up to me. I was like "Yay! Now I don't need to walk home x3" However, the first thing he tells me is "I got a job for you." I think I watch too many movies because when he said that I was totally thinking about assassination jobs xD lolol I'm so weird because of course I'd never be hired for such a thing (or would I? x3). With the thought of assassination jobs, I looked at my dad as if he were crazy. Eventually though, reality hit meh and I asked the logical question of "W-what kind of job...?" xD. He then precedes to tell me about what I'm going to do. Except, what he said was super weird and confusing. My dad has the tendency to explain things in a rather long, boring, unnecessary way xD so a lot of the times, I have to take what he says and translate it into what I call "Emiko Language," meaning a language that I can understand (i do this for a lot of ppl i kno actually ^ ^;;). Anyways, *gets off topic too easily* basically I was hired to help a group of kids with their homework and somewhat babysit them. It's like one of those places that kids go to after school while their parents are at work. All I did yesterday was correct homework, and help around a bit. My hours are 3 to 6. Which is perfect because my after school activities don't end until 3 (meaning i'll be slightly late though which my "boss" said was okay. hmm...I think i'll nickname my boss, boss xD thats not what i call her though irl.). There's also two other people who work there. One of them were absent. I found out that one  of those two people happen to go to my school. She's a grade younger than me, so I'm going to name her Kohai-chan (underclassmen). Anyways, she's okay. Kohai-chan is a very impatient person because whenever the kids don't listen to her, she just yells "SHUT UP!" at them. Not the best way to handle kids ^ ^;; I would know since I have 3 younger siblings. The kids don't take Kohai-chan very seriously, and laugh at her attempts to calm everyone down. She's still really nice though; helpful and friendly. She laughs with the kids a lot. I wish to be close the kids like that as well. All the kids there are like 1st grade to 5th grade (basically elementary kids). Since these kids are so young, they're a total pain in me bum! I swear those kids were are crazy!! There was one kid who tried to escape out the door! Me and Kohai-chan had to run after him. I was freaking out! Like what kind of kid does this?!? When he first ran past me and too the door, I was like "wtf is happening?!" It took awhile to process everything through my brain. Kohai-chan ran after him, and the instinct to help her kicked in, so I ran out the door too. He fell down, and we held him. He actually started rolling on the floor to break free of our grasp. To get him back inside, we had to carry him by his hands and feet. I couldn't believe a kid would actually try and break free...then a few other kids tried the same thing >_>. Some even tried to get out by the windows. Of course it was all just a game to them. It's not like we torture them or anything...
With all this said, you can imagine how "excited" I am to go back again today!*sarcasm* haha okay seriously though, I kinda am. It's a good experience, and I get paid lol xD.

ps. wanted to post a bunch of pics i took of exia and a souvenir i got form Katrina-chan, but that'll make this entry too long, so i'll post it tomorrow.
