When I walked passed the group piano class, I stopped with curiosity.
The piano teacher handed an eraser to a cute little girl and told her to erase the music notes on the margin of her worksheet. I think she wrote the wrong notes or something. Anyways, it was the main point.
The important point was the little girl's reply: "I don't know how to erase notes."
I was so shocked!
The teacher was shocked too. after a short silent pause, she said:" ....Alyssa, how old are you?"
Alyssa:" five."
teacher:"... I have students who are three years-old and they know how to erase notes."
Alyssa:...
teacher:" I teach you how." then she held the girl's hand with an erase and said:" just erase it harder ...and eventually it'll be gone..."
don't know how to describe it, but I felt that Alyssa is not really that stupid, she just didn't want to do it and was hoping/expecting the teacher would erase the marks for her.
Evidence?
here:
ten minutes later, I walked passed the classroom again and saw ...
teacher: " Alyssa, you haven't finish it. you only did four..."
alyssa:"..........(I forgot what her excuse was )
teacher:" but others did five, it's not fair that only you did four..."
conclusion: a lazy brat>o<
. . . may be there is nothing at all . . . . . .

I'm back!
Left for half year, I'm back now!
-----
Since spring semester started, I was busy adding classes and setting the class schedule. Today I finally got my schedule settled. Next Tuesday I'll meet with an EOPS counselor to get a book voucher, which is $275 and will pay off about 2/3 of my textbooks fee, and I'll have to cover the rest. This semester I'm taking English, Psychology of children and adolescence, Music Appreciation and Macroeconomic. Same as last semester, I couldn't get in chem40. All the chem40 classes were closed before my registration date arrived. On the first day when I was tried to add into the class, I found out there were 40 more students waiting to get into the class...the saddest thing is that their registration day was in mid November and mine is in December...T_T Teacher adds students according to their registration date, and it is not fair for people whose last name places very behind, like my last name, Zhong.
Z is the last alphabet. I really like Z though.
btw, I discover that people who aren't native English speaker pronounce my name more accurate than the native English speakers^^ For instance, Mr. Gueye, an African American teacher from Macroeconomic class who speaks English with somewhat strong accent, says my full name amazingly accurate! I was so impressive!!! And like today when my English teacher took attendance and called my name, at first I thought she was calling somebody else, but it sounded familiar, so I asked her to spell out the name, and it was my name=.= I don't blame her, because I know it's really hard for most Americans to pronounce my name which is a weird combination of z(3), h(3), u(2), i, o, n and g.
