Today marked the beginning of my career as a Japanese middle school teacher. The middle school atmosphere is much more formal than the elementary school was, and the students are less (outwardly) friendly. After waffling my way along for a few classes, I'm starting to get a feel for things, and I think I will actually really enjoy working here once my new job anxiety and I-don't-know-what-the-heck-i'm-doing-ness wear off. Regrettably, today is Wednesday so there are no after-school clubs (something I very much wanted to do), so that will have to wait until tomorrow. I did get to play the Japanese variation of kickball during lunch recess, which was fun (although I still can't kick a ball to save my life...or save face with Japanese teenagers even), and I came back to the warm warm teacher's room still drenched in sweat, decked out in the long sleeves and tie that I had worn all day.
I'm exhausted right now, and need to look over some technical things. More posts to follow.
