Standard moments.

I feel as if I haven't painted a clear enough picture of what my classes are like. Usually I spend 20 minutes screaming for them to be quiet, 5 minutes teaching, and then the rest of the 2 hours reading. This is how 99.9999% of my conversations with students go:

Student: TEACHER! ฉันเป็นคนโง่งี่เง่า
Me: What?
Student: ฉันเป็นคนโง่งี่เง่า
Me: I never know what you're saying.
Student: ฉันเป็นคนโง่งี่เง่า
Me: Arai? [which means "what" in Thai]
Student: ฉันเป็นคนโง่งี่เง่า
Me: Arai Wa?
Student: TEACHERRRR ฉันเป็นคนโง่งี่เง่า!
Me: Okay.

This usually results in the student leaving the room.



In other news I had a taxi driver yesterday who spent the entire hour+ burping. Like just letting them rip. Man, I'm going to miss this place.
