Japan - Hardest day thus far....

So I'm at a point where I'm second guessing whether or not I can do this... Not living in japan but teaching kids. 

I did my demo lesson yesterday and it went horribly. I resorted to over explaining and I'm still not 'energetic' enough. This was ok because it was just a role play but it got me questioning how I'd do it in an actual class. I was teaching the difference between see, look, and watch. It's so hard with this language barrier :S

Then there's my back to back classes today... Even worse! As if 2 classes are not stressful enough to prepare for. And I thought shiobara was bad... Yudai jumps off tables. Climbs vacuums. Sits on peoples heads. When I ask him to move, all I get is no! He's also obsessed with this phenomenon sweeping amongst little boys here... They make what looks like a gun with both their hands and shove it up other little boys' bums... I think it's called kunsai or something similar. We're supposed to not allow it to happen but good luck getting Yudai to listen to you :S poor bums. Eventually the class ended and I got through the majority of what I was supposed to get through. After thinking about it some more, Yudai is on the same level as shiobara... Not worse but not any better. 

The next class was ok. They were older but would not stop talking amongst themselves. Now I understand why teachers used to yell so much. Lol. It's annoying and makes teaching difficult. Guess I can't expect it to be easy, especially not this early on. I'm just thankful today is over. With the school being 2 hours away and 3 classes it's been a very long day. 

Tomorrow is my last teaching day while in training :S I only teach one class but my personal supervisor (PS) will be watching :S he seems nice enough... He's from Toronto as well. I got to speak to him the other day and I think we'll get along fine but at the end of the days he's still my boss. Ah well, I know I'm still new. Im bound to mess up a few times or get frustrated. Apparently this should all get easier and if it doesn't then maybe teaching isn't my cup of tea. And everyone knows how much I like tea! It's gonna take quite a bit to earn that title.

On the upside, I also get to check out downtown Nagoya tomorrow before work with Laura :) window shopping will be great stress relief!
