So, what started off as the worst day ever is actually turning out to be good! Yay. I was tired as hell this morning and just wanted to relax, but I had to fucking work my ass off during my free period in order to prepare stuff for classes. I already had a lot prepared, but I always forget how long it takes to make materials when it has to be multiplied by however many students or groups. Today is the start of the new schedule, so I now have all three grades every single day. I liked my old schedule ‘cause I didn’t have to worry about 1nensei prep until Tuesday, but it will be nice to have a mix of classes every day, too.
Anyway, I was really tired, and my first class went really freaking badly. The class was NOT in the mood to listen to anything and it was just a bad class. I yelled at my kids for the first time, and I think I scared the shit out of them, haha. I don’t really want to yell at them ever, but they were seriously out of control. Good ol’ Yabuchuu!
Second period was the exact same lesson plan for a different 1nensei class, and it amazes me how the same lesson can go so differently. It was a GREAT class and everyone was having fun and smiling and everything. Weird, but good! So, that made me happy.
My last class (I am at lunch now) was 3nensei, and that went really well, too. They worked their asses off on this activity I made for them, even though it was pretty difficult. I was proud of them!
So, yay for good students making Mondays less painful!
