JET Mid Year Conference
Hmm, it was just OK. I personally dislike being around a lot of negative energy where people like to complain and rant about their problems. I especially hate it when they seem to think comparing each other's problems and trying to see who is worse off is absolutely stupid and exhausting. I have to waste so much fake sympathetic energy that I come back so tired.
It was useful however because I got to see other team teaching styles and was introduced to new lesson plans. So now to just work on incorporating those.
I also got to meet one of the other Japanese sensei and she is a real sweety so I look forward to meeting her more in the future hopefully.
Today was a little strange and surreal coming back to school after not being around the last 2 days. I enjoyed it though. The students seemed to miss me and the teachers sort of did as well. It is nice knowing your presence is felt after all. :)
Tomorrow was supposed to be a day off but I guess it's really just for the students. Whatever, I am actually slightly bogged down in work lately.
