Second Day, Second School

I'm teaching at two Junior Highs, one Elementary, not to mention a random assortment of preschools (on a very casual basis- approximately a day and a half every year). I just kinda got settled down after my second day. The kids at both junior highs are great. That being said, I have a feeling I'm gonna have way more fun teaching at this school than the other one. I actually got to use my lesson plan and it went over well, which was awesome, and the other teachers are really friendly which is amazing. I might even actually end up with friends. Shocking! Some of the older ladies were having quiet bets on my age- when I confirmed one teacher yelled "Bingo!"
I teach at this school three times this week, which is pretty awesome. I kinda wish it was my only school... that's how much fun I had. It was really cool- the students got crazy excited to see me and made a point of walking past (in some cases, several times in a row) in order to say Hello! How are you! I like ! Frankly, it's endearing and unbearably funny.
The second year volleyball club took it upon themselves to come over and say hi during break, which was awesome. They found it hilarious that I could only say a couple things in Japanese. It really makes me wonder how atrocious my accent is... We somehow managed to have a little mini-conversation despite it all.
The first school I taught at was fine, but definitely a much more formal, serious feeling place- with a couple notable exceptions. It's a very by the book lesson structure with little creative teaching on my part. This second school seems legitimately fun. I get to suggest games and help shape the lessons, which is awesome. I'm really looking forward to working there again tomorrow.


But right at this exact moment, I have to walk down a mountain in the rain to buy an apron because I need it to help with school lunch tomorrow afternoon. Goody.
