Since I got a few emails and IMs where people were like, "Uhhhmmm..".
It wasn't anything serious, really.
Yesterday, on the way home, I took one of the quieter backstreets. The street is a really short distance away from school, and runs behind a convenience store (picture a gas station-y kind of store). Back behind that store, near the garbage bins, I saw one of my school's students talking with two guys. When I came closer to passing them, I noticed one of the guys looked like he was about to offer the student a cigarette. Bleck. I don't like it, but hell, I teach teenagers. I know there are more than a few out there who are going to smoke and drink.
However, seeing me coming, I heard the student telling the guys to stop. They asked who I was, and he said I was a teacher. At this point, I was just about to pass them. They had obviously seen me and were staring, so I nodded my head. They kept staring, and the student looked like he was extremely nervous, so I told him goodbye as I passed.
At that point, the guy lit up his cigarette next to the kid and started yelling, "SAYONARA" at me. Like, in a sarcastic "what are you gonna do about it" kind of way. When I just nodded my head and kept going, he kept yelling "sayonara" and "goodbye" after me.
I wanted so much to punch him in the face. ^_^ Punch him and make him cry like the little whiney whussy man that I'm sure he was. Seriously, what was the point of that? Prize winner for best f*ckup of a role model. > < I've dealt with the "let's talk to the foreigner like it's not human" crap before - it sucks, but whatever. But I'm sorry, doing that to make a show in front of one of my students? Gaaah. Then giving him the cigarette?
Punch to the face. Would have felt great.
In other news, had blood drawn today. My arm is tingly. :p Fun all around. It's the weekend! ...but that freaks me out more than it makes me happy. Time is flying!
