Today was the opening of English classes. Today was also my busiest teaching day- 3- 90 minute classes. It doesn't sound hard, but when you consider that it was my first day of solo teaching ever, in a foreign country, with materials and concepts I've only glanced at, to students who only understand bits and pieces of what I'm saying- and that I have to make them understand- it was quite a day!
I ate lunch with Mike B., Chinatsu, and about 7 other misc. girls. It was fun, and all the girls at lunch came to my office after school, causing me to miss the train I wanted to take home, and causing photo blindness from the over abundance of picture taking with the "gaijin" that they did. Mr. I. drove by and gave me a ride home, so it worked out okay.
NOT the actual train I wanted to take...
I got 3 of my boxes today- so they, and I for that matter, are all here now...a scary feeling...now I can start worrying about how to get it all home!!
I put up the E.S.S. poster today, and think I'll have a fairly good turn out for the introductory meeting Thursday.
