Been super, super, super busy lately. Getting off around 7pm ish. Usually I roll in lazily around 835, so that equates to just under 11 hours a day at work. Bummer, I don't want stay at work that long, but just been trying to be a good teacher and get all the classes ready for the Friday test. Sometimes it doesn't feel like work, then again I don't like to be trapped in a cement building all day, I want to go out and play. Oh well its for the kids! Even stayed after a bit today to help out the 2-4 class. They were surprised that they have to write sentences now. So I worked with the four youngins that were still hanging out, Misa, Yuki, Ta, and Jimi. Jimi is a great kid, but damn his English sucks, its the most random stuff you will ever hear, but I give him an "A" for heart and effort. He wants to learn, but just doesn't know a good method for him. Usually Mr Miyamoto always takes care of Jimi, but he isn't around anymore, so I thought I would help out. With some paper and my jumbled Japanese I got Jimi to amazingly put together some sentences. Going with the drill work and having him think of "easy" English he could amazingly do it after some work. He was putting together sentence after sentence just as if a miracle happened. This is the kid who had the lowest score on the previous test. I hope Jimi can buck that negative trend on tomorrows test!
