Today was exhausting. I had to meet a new coworker (the replacement for someone who I really, really disliked and who was generally a rude, racist, sexist asshole, so I was glad that he was being replaced, but also nervous that his replacement might be equally awful) and teach the class of kids who have intense behavioral issues, and then also ( Read more... )

Between working on fannish projects, helping my students learn their speeches for the speech contest, and helping the new ALTs, it's not as relaxing as I was hoping. But I'm getting stuff done! That's what matters. Still, I ( Read more... )

Today has turned out to be a much better day than yesterday. ♥ I did personal productive things like go through my photos on my phone, and I feel like all of my classes went well today at work, too. For a postcard project for their Japanese class, one student even wanted to send a postcard to me in the summer! I'm really happy that she chose me out ( Read more... )

I started to write a Crea writeup, but work was too busy today, and I had a ton of over-work, so I ended up not being able to finish. I'll try to get it done tomorrow ( Read more... )
