Back to school and get busy again

Today is the second day of this new semester. Yeah I didn’t have enough energy for blogging last night. *chuckles* Now then you know a teacher is also good at finding excuses huh. :P So I am still the homeroom teacher; the only difference is my students are in the 8th grade—too bad they don’t look much taller, and maybe that’s because I am very tall comparing to most Taiwanese. That’s all right…I’ll keep on encouraging them to eat well and exercise more. Well, the only thing that makes me sad is I cannot make as much money as last semester. L Since we teachers get fixed pay, but if we teach extra hours, we can get some extra pay. School doesn’t give me extra hours to teach, and I will lose around 3000 NT a month from now on. *sobbing…*

Anyway, life goes on. But not my favorite series on TV—the Peak of the Forbidden City had its last play last Sunday. The girl Shadow, who couldn’t forget about the guy Scorpio although she misunderstood him, finally left Sunny, the guy who always had a liking for Shadow since long ago, and went for Scorpio. The most touching scene was when Shadow was looking at Scorpio’s picture and missing him badly, Sunny came and consoled her that everything would be fine with his always warm smile. Shadow then cheered up after Sunny told her he’d take her to find Scorpio the next day. Then…Sunny turned and walked away, his facial expression looked so lonely…so sad, for he was the one left out. I am not to sound sentimental, you know. My motto is ‘never give up’, but it’s not to be applied for the romantic field! Just let go, and move on. :D Always something fun and surprising along the way—but I don’t want the ‘pay cut off’ surprise at all!!! :O
