Stupid Dog

I think I might have killed it. Or maybe it just has a broken leg...
I'll have to wait until next week to know for sure though.

I've been teaching a little 7 year old girl on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Every time I turn off the main road to go down the street where she lives, this little dog (white, but very dirty; possibly a shitzhu) tries to bite my feet. After a few run-ins with the annoying dog I started cocking my leg back so that I could kick him if he got to close. Never got to kick him, but he did almost run me into the ditch a few times.

So yesterday it was the same thing. On the way to the girls house the dog gave chase. On the way out I saw another motorbike getting ready to leave so I decided to wait and let them go first. Maybe they would get the dogs attention. Unfortunately (for the dog), that guy turned before reaching the dog's house.

By this time the sun had gone down and there were no other lights on the road but my own. I got to the dog's house and was expecting to hear the quick feet and the "huff, huff, huff" any time, but he didn't show. I figured I would get by free that time, but just as I got a little ways past his house I heard him running.

He dashed out of the bushes and ran straight at me. Normally he turns and runs alongside me while trying to bite, but this time he didn't turn...

Bump. Bump.

Falling Shoes

Yesterday morning during the student gathering I was standing next to the last group of students. While we were waiting for the anthem to play, a pair of shoes came falling to the ground. They landed with a loud 'thunk' and then sat their motionless, waiting for their owner to come claim them.

I found out later that one of the teachers had gone up to the third floor (with a stick) to make sure all the students were downstairs. (I should also say that this teacher never ever smiles.) When he found a group of students still loitering upstairs, he grabbed a pair of shoes from them and threw them over the railing. He then yelled at them (probably something about being responsible), hit them with his stick, and stormed off to find more students.
