It was a student's last day today because she was quitting. I've seen lots of students go. In fact, my boss says I'm slowing killing this language school. However, this was the first time one actually cried when she left.
Oh, and I suck at coming up with excuses on the fly. A student asked me if I'd like to spend New Year's Day with her and her family and with all the other students and my boss just staring at me waiting for my answer, I just said "uuhhhhh sure" despite my mind screaming "Oh god no, think of some way to get out of it you bastard!" I'm not sure if I've mentioned this student before. She's been coming to this school for 8 years or more and can't speak English worth a shit. Now, granted, that's probably in large part because this school doesn't really advance English skills. It also doesn't help that she's fucking retarded. No, I'm quite serious. I think she's mentally handicapped. I get to spend a multitude of hours with a retard, her deathly sick mother, and her fish reeking father. Nice.
