I'm sitting here at work on my lunch break. Generally we use any planning time on the computers. I am so overwhelmed. I have no idea where these kids are at or what they are supposed to be doing. I was warned correctly, everything here changes at the last minute. I found out last night about a meeting we're having this afternoon. I just got a new schedule, different from the one i recieved yesterday.
i teach 9 classes a day, 30 to 40 minutes a piece. yesterday...there was a specific amount i was to get done with a class and there was no way to do it, having never seen the book before. they have to go through a book every 2 days so tomorrow i have to test them on material i haven't really gone over with them. One of my classes this morning, I gave them the wrong material. It was too over their heads...their Korean teacher asked me if i wanted them to bring their crayons and i said yes..only to give them the worksheet and them have no idea what it was. i need to stick specifically with the alphabet with them. ugh....we all feel the same way. there needs to be some kind of guidelines laid out for each class about what to do and expectations, and there are none. I don't want to complain, i do really like this place but i just feel like i'm in over my head.
I moved into my new apartment last night and it is totally bare. i need things to fill it up but those cost money! OH! this morning i almost burned the place down. i had my straightener plugged into the converter and was JUST about finished when the entire thing shot out of the wall, turned black and started smoking. it was pretty sweet. so i guess i need a new straightener..
okay, lunch break is almost over.
OH! and i don't have internet at my apartment, or a tv, or anything really. so i basically just sleep and watch movies on my lap top. laaaame.
