to work and I am nervous so today I go back to the junior high high school that I work at and I haven't seen the girls in about three months now and it's been a while since I taught in front of like so many students not doing all that confident and I got these mosquito bites Oh summers here is about 6:00 in the morning I woke up around 5:00 5:30 I'm ready for the gym so I'm going to wake up a little bit more and then I'm going to head off to the gym okay so I finished my job I finished my workout I'm getting ready now I Jim is really nice they have showers they have shampoo with air conditioner right now they're giving us pretty hydrogen water which I don't even know what it does but I'm a little about free so but seriously what I'm saying is you want to do if you guys know let me know because I don't know I guess I could look it up also all I'm wearing this new dress which I'll show you guys in a second but I'm wondering it's sheer but I have a new kind of slip dress and I'm using two underneath it and I'm still wondering if I'm gonna be perceived as being too sexy because and he's a little bit of skin I show the girls are always like a little sexy so like I was saying earlier it's my first time teaching anabolic well no not my first time teaching because I've been teaching at the Jupiter and I've been doing online lessons or did you do but it is my first time teaching at the high school in awhile I saw that we're not allowed to do any kind of group activities or partner activities which is kind of gonna be really a struggle for a conversational English class today's the first day back so I need a lot of stuff I have like weird seeds binders I need my laptop so I can like you know give the girls a class syllabus that I worked on I've been getting a lot of feedback from teachers that they want this class to be more academic whatever that means but my my main priority is to make it fun so they enjoyed learning English so they're not turned off from Italy so they don't freaking hate English in the end right I am gonna not be able to play as many games I like to play like I like to do like jeopardy or I played The Price is Right like I like to play like fun games where they're using English so you don't really feel like they're learning but they actually are so this is my friends see it's just a little bit sheer and I think I look borderline matronly okay so I cut back in the high school a while ago my day was pretty good the students seemed like happy in good spirits some of them greeted me as soon as they saw me it's so cute it's a so him that put me at ease a little bit because it's just so nerve-wracking going back after three months and you just it's just like speaking in front of so many students yeah I I can't describe it but it is nerve-racking every time no matter how many times you do it I'm not necessarily co-teaching but I am dividing the grade with another teacher so we have to work together and find a happy medium with both of our teaching styles which is something that I'm not accustomed to yet so I'm trying really hard I'm exhausted and I only had two classes tomorrow I have four classes and kind of want to go to the convenient okay so we were taking an evening stroll and we got lost you know Oh goddamn neighborhood finally we're going to mini stop we don't go to mini stop too often so we're gonna go to mini stop and oh okay let's get okay she put it I got strawberry great for children okay maybe I want these ones or these ones I can't decide or just keep Buffy look you live maybe I what did she [ __ ] you look do you want all I wanted soda so many some also has a healthy snack section that will tell you how many calories but they still don't have a little carb section till I could do enough she had that it's a liking - chica tell me why you would sit there Doh kawaii Kevin Annie was celebra he went on the chemo doctor good enough - that I could do its diet oh come on you guys so today's Thursday no guessing it was Thursday I'm sorry today's Friday yesterday I did not film a lot I apologize for that I was I was exhausted it was my first week back at the high school um it's my first time carrying a backpack that was really heavy in a long time so to give you a little perspective I walk about 15 minutes to my home station get on a train get on a bus well another 15 minutes to the school carrying about I don't know let's say 20 25 pound bag because I have my laptop and this week I had my camera because I was showing you guys a week in my life oh I also have like a bottle of water so it's really really heavy anyways that being said my back hurts so I may not be going to the gym today I think I have to give myself a little bit of a break because I kind of just went full-on work way back to my old schedule carrying a heavy bag doing the gym in the morning use easier good good morning babe morning now it's about 8:00 in the morning but I slept in quite a bit I'm doing some editing now I do have a private lesson on Skype this morning so I'll do some editing I'll transition to my private lesson I usually do news articles with my private lesson students so I have him choosing either between employees can work at home forever or black lives matter protests take place worldwide I'm hoping he takes the black lives matter won just because and it's a little bit more current and I'm sure we can have plenty of good conversations upon it so my work doesn't start today until around 4:30 so we can do some other stuff today before work let's do that dead after hit the cameras y'all good night on meeting once a night daddy chillin I'm missing me God get bone daddy only Sanders kidding me okay so I've been working out might come across video and I don't like it I'm not feeling it and it's hard for me to finish so now I need to eat we're gonna make salami great rolls by the way these are keto friendly lettuce we have salami salami and we have processed cheese to like it or not good money okay so I'm at my Saturday job I went to the gym this morning and I didn't really feel like him again hi Goody's music a yogi so yeah as I was saying I'm at my Saturday job now I worked out I didn't really feel the need to film that again for you guys and today's a very busy day right now it's about 9:30 in the morning and my first class is at 10:30 and I don't leave here until 9:30 at night so I work for about 12 hours today of course not including my lunch break today's the money day today is the exhausting day my first class is kindergarten and I finish with a higher level of English students higher level students I don't really need to do much prep work because my assistants do the prep work so it's really nice I've been doing this for now three years I'm pretty used to the routine of it and the flow of things you know I've been here for quite a bit now and the first couple years of being in Japan was really enjoyable I was having a lot of fun being here I didn't put too much stress on learning the language partly because my jobs required me to speak English and they frown upon not only found a pond like you can get in pretty like unless a serious trouble but a good amount of trouble at your job if you're using Japanese not even using like well spoken English they're using very simple English for the past couple years no Japanese point being is that I need to step up my Japanese game because it's becoming a little bit embarrassing about how much I'm unable to speak listening is quite good but speaking the output is not quite there so I want to focus more on studying Japanese and I think it's important for me to know Japanese since my husband is Japanese and I might be living here for a while knowing the language in Japan gives you a lot more power you feel a little bit more in control of your future you don't have to constantly ask people for help also I wanted to show you some of the stuff that I have here at this location at the school because I teach a lot of younger children on Saturn so I keep a lot of my materials games and whatnot here so I thought I could show you guys that so I have two boxes here all this stuff I brought them home because I live here two days out of the week it's kind of junky though sorry stickers that I give to the kids if they're doing well it's really junky Oh last week I did tanking with one of my students we painted a picture of our family that was fun I have this box of origami paper sometimes if we finished a lesson early the students are no the lesson pretty well they know the materials I you know have free time with them I could do things like whatever they want origami this I got at Flying Tiger by the way Flying Tiger is where you want to shop for games and materials for your lessons it's not as cheap as die so you could go to Daiso or any other 100 yen shop but Flying Tiger has a little bit more unique stuff and still very affordable I think I'm going to end the vlog here just because by the end of the day I'm gonna be so exhausted I know I'm gonna forget to fill and say goodbye to you guys so I want to say goodbye to you now this vlog is already probably pretty long but it's a very accurate depiction of my work week here in Japan as an English teacher I hope you guys enjoyed it if you did enjoy it and you want to see more
