Weird. Have I only been here a week and a half? So much has happened!
I love my job. I teach an average of 4 classes a day. Besides the brutal math classes, I get to teach whatever I want. Today I taught my Overseas Junior 1 class (grade 7ish) the words to Linkin Parks "What I've Done" as per their request. Then I told them it was on the condition I taught them a song I liked the following class. OF COURSE it will be an Opening Axe song. I think we might just learn about music and songs for the rest of the semester. Look at the little buggers working so hard trying to figure out the lyrics before I give them the answers. Try to explain what 'alibi', 'clean slate' and 'uncertainty' are to people who barely understand when I say, "Write this down". I am becoming a good mime.
The other much more exciting thing is Jason made the purchase of the century yesterday. A friggin motor bike that cost less than 100RMB. It is a bit rough and the clutch it brutal but holy crap is it fun. I have always said I would be a Harley girl one day. So no one should be surprised that I am going to get my license here. (Way cheaper and easier than getting a moto license in Canada.) This was what we did this morning between classes...working hard prepping lesson plans! Really though, I had to go buy a chord to hook my computer up to the speakers in class, so I was working. Yes, for you perceptive little things in the audience. This is something you would get arrested for in Canada.
