Defeated

End of Kpop Tuesdays and Fridays with BDSS! I'm really glad there's no longer 745am classes because THOSE ARE THE ULTIMATE ZOMBIFIERS. I feel so lethargic the rest of the day.

It was a really fun experience, and I'm glad the students grew along with our guidance.

A setback though, was my lesson with APS. I feel so defeated. I thought I came up with the perfect solution for the group of students I was supposed to handle. They were supposed to come up with a showcase, but most of them don't dance NOR sing. So I had an idea that I thought would work. But nothing seems to be working. As an educator I told myself to keep my energy levels high, and just keep pushing. But how do you really push a wall? If they are unwilling to move, what am I supposed to do then? Knock them down?

I'm at my wits end. I really want to do my job well. I want to see them come out of their shells. But I'm having a bit of trouble with that.

I'm going to go on rainymood, play some ballads on 8tracks, and coop up in my room with the fairylights on.
