Schools out

The monks are safely home now and I've finished at the school. To be honest I'm quite happy. Primary school teaching is an impossible job. And it wasn't helped by the fact that I didn't speak their language. But I've had a really good time there and I'm glad I did it. I also never lost my temper once. I shouted quite loud a couple of times but The kids never really got the better of me. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Maybe I should have cared a bit more. They all got really attached on the day I left which was quite sweet. It could have been because I just played games all day though.
A spin off is that they all come and visit me at the monastery. Imagine a swarm of human sized midges with voices like sirens. I'm surprised my phone and camera are still intact since all they seem to do is fight over them.
A little boy tried to steal my camera tripod the other day. After paying him to get out of my room the first time, he found his way back in picked it up and said
"Sir??"
"That's a tripod." I said hoping he'd lose interest.
"Sir I?"
"No you can't have it."
"What happen?"
"What do you mean what happen?"
"What happen?"
"I don't know get out of my room."
"What happen?"
I picked him up and lifted him out. Later on they both said goodbye. I searched his pockets and found my tripod up his sleeve.
"Sir, what happen?" He said.
"No. Not what happen." And sent him on his way after getting a refund of the rupee I had paid him to behave.

But I'm sure I'll give the school a visit from time to time.
