Extra Life
With visions of little green and white mushrooms floating around in my head, I applied for a teaching position at OneUp English school a few weeks ago. My first day was this week. So far, its been pretty good. It's one-to-one teaching, and no kids, so its not as crazy and trying to control a room full of 8 year olds.
From what I've been able to gather so far, my co-workers are a colourful cast of characters, which keeps the work interesting. The students are pretty varied as well, so that seems like it will keep things pretty fresh too.
Taking the train home at 10:00 at night 3 days a week isn't exactly my idea of fun, especially when that train in in Tokyo, where dreams of a seat are seldom realized, but all in all, so far, so good.
I just need to keep my eyes open for Bowser.
