A Letter
Dear L,
Thank you for the text message.
To be honest, I have indeed worried about my students when I knew they hadn't written their theses.
I felt sad and disappointed about their attitude. About one week of conversation (via MSN), I found I was exhausted.
They seemed to feel pressure from me. I can sense our relationship changed a little bit. (Perhaps it is because saying negative words or thinking negative things made me feel my disgusting.)
I even think if they keep doing so, I will ask for another semester sick-leave. It means the school has no choice but to change their home-room teacher. I even told the vice class leader to pass the words to my students.
I want to do so because I know if they do not change their attitude, I will feel unhappy. Such negative moods may bring them and me much pressure and a negative effect of learning and teaching. It is neither good for them nor for me. Well, as I said, I was very tired last week, so I need to force myself not to think about their attitude about theses.
As to the medical treatment, I have had six times of the radiation therapy and will keep doing it for another twenty times. The doctor told me the side-effect will come out one after another. Haha, what can I do? Well, what I can do is to shift the focus--reading my book and writing my book and forget my illness. Yeah, of course, I will be your VIP. I will go to admire the beauty of ancient Greek sculpture no matter what condition there will be in the future.
Thank you and take care!
Love,
Chris
