teaching englishhhhh

So a couple of my friends have been teaching english to small classes over at this business school, and I have been wanting to do it as well. Well, last night I was at an irish pub at the monday night trivia game when I got three missed calls in a row from the same number. I went outside, called back, and 3 minutes later I hung up the phone and had signed up to teach english to young adults 8 hours a week! Oh, and starting this afternoon. So I will be teaching Tuesdays and Fridays from 4-8 (ahhh! 4 hours of teaching in a row without a break...!).

The only material I have to work with right now is a book called "The Official Guide to the New TOEFL" (Test of English as a Foreign Language) that resembles the old SAT and AP test prep books I used back in high school. Eek!

So we'll see how it goes this afternoon! I really don't have time to make too much of a game plan, as I also have to finish writing an essay for my anthro of religion class today. Hopefully things will go smoothly enough and not too difficult the first day! I am excited for this opportunity to see what teaching english is like. I think I will learn a ton as well, as speaking english and teaching the ins ans outs of its grammar and such are two very different things, as I am about to find out! Also it will be nice to make some money, as I will earn 8 euros an hour. I am starting to feel pressed for money here as all I do is take out from my accounts all the time, so it will be great to put money into them as well.

Well here we go!
