Sep. 12th, 2008 03:12 pmMy first day teaching alone went very well, I think. At the least the kids were enjoying themselves, and I was able to respond to class mood and class pace and change tacks accordingly. Praised by the principal (who was watching, and has evinced great interest in my lessons thus far) for getting a normally quiet 3rd-grader class up and running.
And hey, if enough people keep talking about how pretty I am - when half the time they don't expect me to understand it, even - I might but start believing it.
Oh and. Caught my skirt in my bike this morning, hauling it down & showing my underwear to three road workers and a shopkeeper - none of whom, I might add, were looking in my direction by the time I got myself unwound and straightened out. To their credit. Only discovered I'd actually given it a maybe two-foot rip... as I was headed to class. Yay fluttery skirts? The rip is totally invisible unless I point it out. But boo fluttery skirts in the bike gears, yes I am walking home today. Things I do not allow to ruin my day, part six.
... and after school I picked up lunch at the conbini and walked down to the pebble beach and ate onigiri by the Pacific all of 5min from my office.
My life is pretty okay.
