Employed.

Apparently I'm a teacher.

I'm so not qualified for this.

All in all the first day went pretty well. I taught 3 classes on my own today, and after the first I was about thisclose to a mental breakdown. I pretty much messed up you could possibly mess up, and then some. Thankfully the other 2 classes went much better, and I'm not terrified to go back tomorrow.

Of particular note from today was my kid, who when asked where the light comes from, responded loudly with "SEAN PAUL teacher!" For the record, the answer I was looking for was sun, and I was talking about sunlight, not a joint. Great. Day 1 and I've already got 8 year olds talking about pot.

Aside from an apparent drug problem, and one little girl who can't keep her hands out of her pants, it seems that I have some pretty good classes. Teaching ESL is much harder than you'd expect at first. Try explaining the concept of "but" or what the word "ago" means to someone who has no idea what you're talking about. Or how about "to" and "too". Yah, definitely not as self-explanatory as you'd think. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it, but it's very hard to step it back to their level considering I never learned english the way they did.

It was a fun, funny, and good day!
