Teaching is hard isn’t it?
Three days into teaching, sleep has become a distant memory, I’ve forgotten how to eat and have lost nearly ten pounds. A heightened sense of impending doom and nerves dominate my days. From class to class, I scramble, and I am still trying to recover from the disaster of my psychology class. You see, I had prepared for a writing class, and even managed to teach five whole minutes of writing…until the kids informed me that the subject was psychology. Oh…ok. One of the worst hours of my life. Horrible. Can barely type about it.
But, teaching is getting better. Most of my kids are great, especially in my English classes. I’ll have to keep this short though, because I’m (actually both cole and I) are still just keeping afloat with our work.
Also, the new blog will be at: http://denisgwong.blogspot.com/
so any further updates will be there (including all those japan photos and videos I still have to post, and a few from shanghai too!). The new blog is empty at the moment, but I hope to have some time next week maybe.
Ok, back to the lesson plans.
