One Foot Out the Door

Right, in good news today it was actually WARM!!!! I was getting sick of sitting in the apartment shivering uncontrollably. 

I had my first classes today. I've got 7classes all up. 6 of them are twice a week and one of them is three times a week. An hour and a half each class. I am so tired right now. I'd forgotten how tiring teaching was. I could just about literally fall asleep on my feet right now.

First up was the Pre-Ints (pre intermediate). they're a bunch of cheeky 14 year olds. I started out with the toilet paper ice-breaker. Get a roll of toilet paper and bang it down on the desk. Don't say anything except "Take some toilet paper". Once they've all taken some, and you can be guarenteed that at least one of them with take a HUGE amount, tell them that they are to say one thing about themselves for each peice of paper that they have. You should've seen the look on their faces when I pulled out the toilet paper.

Next class were the intermediates. They were pretty good. Nice and talkative.

My final class was a CPE class (Certificate of Proficiency in English. It's a Cambridge exam). Their English is so good it's scary! The fun thing is that I've got to turn around and do it all over again tomorrow.
