Saturday Vietnamese School

Author: Jennii | Filed Under: Rant, General

Going to Vietnamese School on a Saturday is almost as pointless as me going to a Lara Fabian concert, because she’ll start singing in French, and anyone who knows anyone who knows me knows that I can’t understand French even if I try to. The only reason why I paid $25 for weekly torture of my idiotic, and mean Vietnamese teacher is just to get a spare in grade 12 where I can nap peacefully at home, wake up at 1PM and go to school, then come back at 2:45PM. But honestly, one more week of her throwing tantrums and I might just throw something at her - something the size of a brick.
The woman needs a planner of some sort, because she hops all over the place like a damn frog. She also need to learn timings. We cannot, especially if it’s a group of white-washed Vietnamese kids, read a short story in 4 minutes, like you do okay miss? Now to make matters worse, some kids in my class cheated on a test by writing out the answer on an eraser and pass it back and forth, it wouldn’t have been comical had the answer been CORRECT. That’s right ladies and gentlemen, they wrote the answer, and it was THE WRONG ANSWER.

 

Jeez. I didn’t see that one coming.

Other non-Vietnamese related news, I’ve conducted a book list, you can also find a "Jennii’s dream library" fund and also "Jennii’s mansion" fund tin somewhere in goobii… er around the corner.

Book List!

  1. Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov
  2. Life of Pi - Yann Martel
  3. A walk to remember - Nicholas Spark
  4. Lord of the Flies - William Golding
  5. Catcher Rye J - D Salinger

I also posted this on the handy dandy "post it" application on my mac desktop, so mom can see this wonderful list of "BOOKS I WANT TO READ!/WANT TO BUY BUT MY POCKET IS - HAH - A BIT EMPTY, DEAR DEAR" everytime she comes on to check her emails from my wonderful aunt from Vietnam who does funny noises with her jaw.

Feel free to recommend any of your favs.

    To Kill A Mockingbird? We’re reading that in school at the moment and I have loved every minute - it’s infinitely interesting!

    1984 is also a very good read but you start thinking cameras are watching you everywhere you go.
