Forgot I Still Have to Work

Did I tell you I started teaching? Well, I did. I don't really know how, but I can always figure it out. So far, it's been a lot of me talking, and I'm not sure exactly what about. Basically, whatever random fact about America pops into my head. Then, I ask them to tell me about China. After several seconds of silence, I move on to something else.

The students are certainly better at learning than I am at teaching. They're an eager bunch, if a little shy. I'm doing my best to look like I know what I'm doing. Listening to my own voice is all well and good, but I kind of know how to speak already. They...not so much. I'm working on getting them to talk about sports and culture and not politics, which I gather is strange, since most classes are lecture-based. I gotta go try and plan some sort of lesson for the morning class. I guess tomorrow I'll write the "after" entry.

I'll try to post more pictures of classroom and campus. Here are a couple taken from inside our office in the English Building.
