Tired but happy

Sunday, May 31, 2009

So I got a new student today! He works for the number 1 company in the world that makes glass. I dunno how that goes but after he told me stuff about himself and what he wanted to learn, he asked me to name my price! NYAAAAAAA. In the website, I wrote that I charge 1,500 yen an hour. But then I remember Mae telling me that the normal rate is 3,000 yen. But then I didn’t know what to do. So I just made it 2,000 yen — the same rate as Tatsuya. I just feel guilty that I mostly just listen to them speak English. Correct their grammar here and there. And that’s it. 

I think I should’ve charged more XD Made it 2,500 or something! Oh well! 

And remember I charge only 500 yen for a trial lesson? Well, he paid me 3,000 yen for an hour and a half of just talking. Hee. I was telling him that it was all right — he only had to pay me 500 yen. But he told me that he earned a lot from his job and that it was nothing. EEP. 

Okay. I need to study now! Ta-ta!

Interview galore

Friday, May 29, 2009

I had my second interview for Gaba this afternoon! Gaba is this English school in Japan. English teacher wannabe. Hee. Anyway, the guy said that I did well on my first interview. So this time, he was asking me general questions about myself. And then he went on to give me possible scenarios with students — “What would you do if…” — that sort of thing.

We’re having our exam on Monday! Ganbarimasu!

Nyawr

Thursday, May 28, 2009

I’ve been late. Late for classes. Which is so like me. Meh. I missed almost half of yesterday’s class. The prof dismissed so early that I wasn’t there for half the discussion. If this continues, I’m going to start getting bad grades. Which is bad because I came here to study. 

Homework is starting to pile up too. Plus, the lessons are slowly becoming harder. Nyaaaaaawr. 

I’ve got a second interview for this job that I applied for. I do hope I get it.

Japanese Society class

Okay. So our professor invited this kid who studied for a year in Thailand or something to talk to us about how being a Japanese student is. So he was showing us charts and stuff of his expenditures. Like how much a part-time job usually pays, and what a student usually pays for in school and et cetera?

Pretty interesting. He looked like a nice guy. But it wasn’t a really lively discussion (for me) since he doesn’t really speak English well (well, the class is supposed to be in Japanese anyway. Lol).

The prof actually thought that I was really sleepy. 

I should update my blog more often, huh! 

P.S. I wasn’t listening to my culture class AT ALL today.

Not feeling it

Wednesday, May 20, 2009

We’re going on a field trip tomorrow. It’s an overnight thing. It’s at Mie Prefecture. We’re gonna be hitting a Ninja school first and then a lot of different places. Nyawr. I wanna curl up in bed and finish reading all the books I brought with me. That, or start studying Biology — just because I want to. I have 10 units of Bio left when I go back. Hmm.
