Today has just been the crappiest day ever.  I had 3 classes - 1st year and 3rd year were doing my lesson plans, the fifth time around for me so I was really hating them by that point.  And then I had to teach 2nd year solo.  Oh yes, alone.  Kaneko-sensei has been away since last week but no one has told me what happened.  Even if he's deathly ill he'll still come to school so I'm thinking it's an accident or family emergency.  Either way... I had to teach by myself.  I teach 4-5 or sometimes 6 classes of elementary kids every Friday who for the most part can't understand a thing I'm saying... but 2nd year of Jr High makes me nervous?  Well, fourteen year olds can talk back.  There was another Japanese teacher there for "support" but they are as useful as the elementary teachers.  I had Ohara-sensei with me today, and all the kids are scared of her so at least they weren't rowdy and fucking around during class.  But I have to do it 4 more times...

On top of that, there is a speech contest coming up so Nakamura-sensei asked me to look for some stories for the student doing it, and to do a lesson plan for the conversation elective on Monday, and I had to decide on something for grade 6 tomorrow... it was a busy and stressful day.

On top of that... BUGS.  I took a shower tonight and when I stepped out I saw this black thing on my kitchen floor and knew even without my glasses that it was a monster roach.  MONSTER.  Fucking like the size of my index and middle fingers together.  There was some screaming and flailing and crying involved but I managed to trap it and stun it with my laundry bucket and then throw it outside (along with my waste paper bin... I'll rescue that tomorrow).  I don't have anyone to do it for me....... so I have to suck it up and do it and then cry about it later. 

I hope that tomorrow goes without any stress or problems.  I get a bit of a break because one class is a week behind so I'll get to do two different lessons instead of five of all the same.  And it's the last week of term so I won't be back there until September.  Ahhh summer vacation starts next week!  I'm seeing Stephen at some point tomorrow... I'm not overly excited.  That's a sign.  Even as friends..... ahgdaf.  I just feel so trashy.  What. dfkjdfsadfjd.  And Himitsu wasn't on tonight for some reason.  And that just made me more depressed. 

I talked to Yuka and I am probably going to go visit her in Osaka during the first week of August! :3

Now since I can't write and don't want to watch Yamapi (though totally fuckable in scrubs) on TV without subs I will sleep.

*huggles* I'm sorry you're having a bad day. *squishes*

I feel your pain about the cockroaches. Usually I yell for my Dad to come running and kill it for me when I'm back home. Thank god in my apartment there aren't any.

The Stephen returns. Good luck.

WHAT. THE. HELL. I totally looked and it wasn't on. Unless they preempted it by an hour?
My TV guide says it was supposed to be on at 10, but it totally wasn't. BOO. Oh well, I was crabby and should have slept anyway.
And now I'm on LJ naked because its SO GOD DAMN HOT.

.....Then I hope you had your windows closed and didn't flash your neighbors. Otherwise you'll be giving them the idea that all white people walk naked around their apartment~

but 2nd year of Jr High makes me nervous?
But... but... 2-nensei are the best!! D: I adore them and always had the best luck with them. I think it was because they were more mature than the 1-nensei but they weren't all caught up in peer pressure and entrance exams, and therefore drama whores, like the 3-nensei. Good luck with the lessons!

Ahaha... at my school, 1-nensei are all genki and want to learn and their teacher has whipped them into shape from the word Go. 3-nensei have attitude but there are some smart kids who like English and most of them try when pushed and their teacher whipped them too. 2-nensei... its like a trip to the zoo each time because their teacher is a pushover and lets them get away with murder in-class. :/ But I wouldn't stand for that. Even though I'm not supposed to/allowed I would dish out some Canadian style dicipline. >3
