Today was a pretty good morning actually. It's Saturday first off. I woke up at 6:30, met my ride at 7:30, and ended up at a junior high school in the mountains at 8. The teacher who normally teaches this class is doing plays (as is Teacher Josh) all day today, so i was subbing for him. The school was so cool. It's in the mountains, most of the classrooms are full of windows (and fans! no AC). The hallways are all outside (although under roofs) and there are plants and trees everywhere. It was foggy today so you couldn't see the town below. The back of the school faces a forest.
I taught two, two-hour classes of the same material. The material was sort of lame, but with adverbs of frequency you can make fun of anyone...like "you never wash your hands?!" and "How often does your mom brush your teeth." Anyway, the classes both went really well-just pick out the loud, obnoxious junior high school boys and make fun of them. Everyone is laughing and having a good time.
I'm sure it's not this easy on a normal day, but I was a substitute, and they are junior high school students, which means they are really curious about me. So there you have the foreigner card-there's a new white girl in front of us making fun of the popular boys. This is hilarious. So they were surprisingly energetic for a Saturday morning and it was overall a good time.
Back home for a minute before trying to find out where Josh's plays are. We'll hopefully meet for lunch soon, and then I'll go watch a grueling 2 hours of little kids putting on English plays...I'm pretty excited to see Josh's play in final form!
