I just got a spam comment on my journal. How disconcerting is that? I really don't want to have to make this journal private, since there are so many people not on livejournal that I want to read it. It was about friggin' online poker. Poker? What the frick? It was also a post from like, April of last year.
Anyway, work has been awesome lately. The teacher change is a god send, and even though that horribly annoying woman who sat across from me is back, I have the tools to deal with her now. The principle noticed that I didn't have a little "in/out" magnet on the board, so she ordered one be made for me. I still think the Vice Principal doesn't like me and thinks I'm lazy. But I won't worry about it.
Mrs. Aoki and I want to start an English Circle for the students after school onbe day a week. God, I teach English a lot for someone who doesn't even really like it that much. I SO don't want to be doing this for the rest of my life. Especially beginner levels. Beginner students really need someone to make the material interesting and fun but not in a hard way. I can't do that. All the things I think of that are fun are pretty much hard and complicated because those are the sort of things I enjoy. Call me selfish.
Oh and I'll be eating lunch with the students starting next week. I guess my secret of speaking Japanese will be out now, because I'll want to talk with them, and they won't talk with me if I have an "English only" stance/
