Yeah, Yeah

So I've been a little lax on the updates, please forgive me. (Sorry Chris! (Since you mentioned it in the comments.)) A thousand apologies and all that. Since class started, I've found myself somewhat more drained at the end of the day, perhaps unsurprisingly.

Anyway, this isn't going to be much of an update either, since I'm going out pretty soon. It's Friday, and the other TEFL trainees are meeting up in Shibuya to hang out and go to pubs. If you know me much at all, you can probably guess that bars aren't really my favorite place in the world; but what the heck, it's better than staying at home wasting time on the internet all night. (Probably). Not better than staying home and doing assignments for this class, but the lesser of two evils and all that.

I will mention that we took our first stab at "teaching" today, though it was only a practice lesson with the other members of the class as our "students". I did... really poorly, honestly. I wasn't prepared enough, and I got very nervous, and things just generally went badly. Not a very pleasant experience, and it doesn't bode well for when I will actually need to be in front of real students. But more on that later.

Hmph. These rice crackers taste faintly of fish. I wonder if they were baked in (or... lightly fried in?) fish oil. I might be able to find out if I only I could READ ANY OF THE FREAKING PACKAGES around here. (My progress on reading Kanji is going slowly, I might add. I did look up some Kanji on the backs of things, however, and I have a loose idea of how "carbohydrates", "calories", and "protein" are written now.) Then again, maybe that's just the salt.
