Uwah great news!  They finally made their selections for the interview candidates and I was chosen!  I am talking about the english teaching job in Japan, this large corporation that owns many schools throughout Japan. This is the first part of a three part interview process so I can't be too excited right now.  Crazy! They are requiring I create a ( Read more... )

Ohhh... now I've actually read the whole thing xD Good luck for that next part o.o Hmmmm is there a specified age group you know you'll be teaching or is it not confirmed yet?
I have noooo teaching experience either, but I guess from being a highschool student myself I can say an attribute that helps teachers bond with students easily is being the more casual bonding type? But that might be different for Japan, I dunno (like they may tend to be more professional in the classroom etcetc) Aaahhh at any rate- I hope you get in!

Yeah most of the students consist of younger kids so BLAH!! I'd rather teach adults and teenagers. But luckily I just spoke to my cousin and he'll write the lesson plan for me! haha He teaches 3rd grade, which are like 8 year olds I think. Wish me luck =/!!

Is it gonna be a presentation to an actual class of kids or is it just something you do towards the panel of interviewers? :0 It'd be so hard if it was for actual kids ... o.o

Congrats! Hopefully it'll go well~ ^_^

Oh gosh, the Super Live. I still haven't dl'ed it. It's so big, so many parts~ But I still want to watch it! It's tradition, but such a pain to dl, haha. But it's the one time I get to see a bunch of different artists perform, since I only follow JE performances normally. ^_^''

Thanks =)
LOL tradition to watch it, yeah that's why I had to dl the entire thing. You know I haven't watched MS in so long and what do I see? They replaced Tamiko or whatever her name is san, with some new young girl! I don't like her much, she doesn't know what she is saying, bakayaro.

You know, I thought it was a different girl, but I wasn't sure cuz I never really cared that much in the first place, haha. It seems like all the girl host ever says is "sou desu ne" and then introduces the songs. Kinda pointless even to be there, imo. ^_^''

woo so you're really considering this english teaching thing eh? =)
Do you know if the cigerettes there are stronger? mmm lol now i want to try them xD hehe when you're in Japan it's going to be hard to quit with everyone smoking mwahaha! Good luck with your lesson plan. You have experience doing demonstrations so i'm sure you'll be able to pull it off ;)

TY di2=)!!
They said I can request the cities they have on the list but it is not guarantee I will get it. It only depends on the availability. So far the most closest to TOkyo is Yokohama T_T. Then Shizuoka, and Niigata and some other city that starts with a U~ looks like it is down south of Tokyo. I don't want anywhere else but near Tokyo =/ Sapporo LOL!! I wouldn't go to Japan for Sapporo gomen xD

I am not a smoker!! Well I am on and off so don't worry I am not addicted^^;; I don't want wrinkles so of course I quit!!

Yokohama is great! it's just 30 to 40 minutes away from Tokyo:)
Shizuoka??? O_O??? EEE~ PLZ NO! it's a real countryside, i'm sorry i went there this summer for Kanjani8 concert & i was so shocked! PPL there are so black! i'm not kiddin' i've never seen such black Japanese in my entire life & i went to so many places in japan. I thought ppl in the South like Okinawa or Fukuoka, Ehime whatever should be darker then them..BUT NO! Shizuoka-ken has the most dark Japanese ppl in the country! (O_O)...
But Niigata is worse than Shizuoka hahaha:) i wonder what that city with U is o_O...

Really? Shizuoka is also country side?! BLEHHH!!! and lmao dark Japanese, like ganguro? What do you mean? xDxD Ok but if you had to choose one of them, which one would it be (Not Yokohama) Oh and the U city is Utsunomiya, I found it near Tokyo. What kind of place is it?! If the company gives me a crappy city, I cannot take it. I long to be near Tokyo!! After all, it's where I was at and fell in love with xD. But I think it should be ok if it's some other similar cities.
