I am sick of myself who can't control my emotion and mind. Who keeps struggling uneasily in silence. Who leads into unproductive days. I am really sick of it.

Today I plan to log out from some of the social media that really take my time. Well, they don't take it, I give it to them. As a person who can be distracted easily, I decided to close them, and left only some basic medias, like Whatsapp (because I have an important community there), BBM (my family always contact me through this), LINE (my student is here), and Messenger (since everyone here always use it). They are still a lot, I know. But at least, they won't distract me that much.

This milk tea really kept my eyes opened! Oh no! I have a morning class tomorrow. T_T
I won't drink it again 'till I really need to stay late. Maybe in the end of the semester.

Sometimes, we can't just believe what we see. People might look happy, energetic, enthusiastic. When you start to listen to their story, you will see their real 'face'. Today, a friend of mine told me that she's going to lose her job this upcoming June, and it hits her a lot. She also told me that she's considering to find another teacher to be her advisor, after working with a very well-known and gorgeous teacher for a while. Listening to her, I found that in some rate, my problem might not as hard as hers. And I am more grateful. Listening to people makes you understand, that through your eyes you only can see, but through your ears, you understand.

Today I bumped into two classmates in the brunch store. We had a short conversation since we are not that close each other. One of them is my best friend's ex, and our conversation was about her, my best friend. Actually, I don't really like his way of talking and I planned to tell this to my best friend. Yet, I didn't do that because I thought I must not bother her by this kinda unimportant thing. So I just let it go.
Accidentally, I met him again when I was walking to the class. And at this time, we had a conversation again but this time, it's more pleasant. I realized actually he is a good man, maybe with a different style. And I do tell myself, don't ever judge people anymore by only one-two words from them. Everyone have their own bright side, though.

Private teaching is not easy, especially when you only have one student, for online speaking class. The most challenging thing is that you have to come up with an interesting and familiar topic to have a one-hour conversation unless you will keep talking alone since your student has nothing to say.
In the end of this March, my friend introduced me to this private teaching job. I had to help a senior high student to prepare for an interview session as a part of university entrance exam. At that time, I struggled a lot because she didn't speak much. I tried my best to pick a topic, chose some articles, and even trained her to speak naturally in her introduction part. And it was only 2 weeks before the interview day! Three weeks after finished our private class, her dad contacted me again and he said that he wanted me to teach her daughter regularly. I accepted it because I think it also helps me to improve my speaking and teaching skill. So today was our first meeting. And she changed a lot! She began to speak more and sometimes she also picked up the topic. I think next time our class will be more interesting.
Oh yes! I forget to tell you. She was accepted at the university she wanted the most! She made it! I am so happy for that.

Do you know what the tough life is? It is when you have to eat something you really don't like, in order to survive. And do you know what the worst part of it? You gradually like it!
It is a tough life when it changes you, yet it will cherish you at the end. Because an easy one, will only cherish you but remain you as the same.
