I want to go to Canada! - said the little kid.

Today was a blast!!

Josai international University sometimes does public events and has the student body and faculty members volunteer out in the community.
I was asked with 5 other international students to prepare about 1 hours of material for a class of elementary kids.











< Insert Pretty Picture of Me, Jack and James , sorry guys... I did take pictures of you!!>



Anyways...The topic... About Canada, where I live and if I can... teach some English.

Woo hahahah I said.... ( In my head .... Or maybe it was out loud... I can't remember ...)

*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)'･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*


I had some materials laying around from when I was teaching in Victoria and some past ideas from when I was working at Straight Talk in Morioka
< Hi Dave !! >

I had three goals.

- Have them say at least one full sentences in English.
- Interest them in Canada.
- Have a blast!!!

And that's exactly what we did!!

I have them all shouting and chatting.


I want to go to Canada!
I want to go to .

I tried to get to the food portion of the lesson but ... sadly ran out of time..

I separate then in to 3 groups and had each group choose a different Province.
All man, I was tired!! It's been a while since I've had the chance to teach so many kids!!

Anyways, In return, some of the kids performed a traditional Funabashi Dance!!







What a blast!!

Stressful time at school

It's the last day for handing in reports and the tension is high.
Both students and staff are feeling it..  I was sitting.. well I am still sitting in the library today when one of the students cracked and started shouting at one of the staff members.

Something to do with resetting his password on is computer account or something but he was just going at it.  He was shouting as the staff just apologized for nothing.  It was his fault but the staff were apologizing..
This went on for a good 5 mins.  The younger people in the Kanto area can be soo rude!!!
I wanted to punch him this kid after he called the nice lady helping him a "stupid granny" 「お前 アホウ？ババ！」

Anyways.. We all need to vent sometimes but we should all find less destructive ways of doing it.  I talked with the lady after he left and she just apologized for the noise.  I said I wanted to punch the kid for being so rude she look surprised but then said "if it was her kid she would do the same".

Ok... I'm done venting..  Back to writting.. My last report is due in 2 hours.
