-My backyard.
I didn’t think it true at first, but indeed I am one month into my career as a spoken English teacher. The month did not pass by at a blurred pace. Between getting acquainted with my new life here in Huaihua, learning the ropes of being a English teacher to more than 750 students, and traveling every weekend my days have been full and filled with experience. I feel like I’ve been here half a year.
But I’ve only been here a month and as far as teaching not all that much has happened. I settled my teaching schedule and only added one tutoring gig for eight students every Tuesday night, all the while fighting to not get more teaching jobs. First my school liaison had a friend at another middle school who wanted me to teach 6 more lessons on Fridays then a teacher friend here at school tried to get me tied up with a 2.5 hour Saturday afternoon (what?!) spoken English class/English drama club. I’m helping out with the Saturday afternoon class on a every-now-and-then agreement.
