Me being sensei and other stuff

Today, was a pretty good day well no not really! I have the flu and oh jeeze it's awful so I have to wear this mask because it's japanese culture to wear it when you're sick so you won't spread any germs. Which is very conveninent I might add because when I cough I'm coughing into the mask and I'm not spreading any germs which is pretty nice. But when you wear the mask your breath gets sticky so of course I bought some gum! ;) But yea, the elementary school visit was fun there was this one gurl and her english was amazing! Like she didn't even have an accent like you would think that her native langauge was english. She went to an international kindergarden school. We taught at Kwansei Gakuin Elementary School and it was really nice esp. for an elementary school. The tuition for the school is $10,000 a year and if you go to the elementary, middle, and high school and pay every year you don't have to take the enterance exams basically you're in. So that's pretty nice esp. since you're set for life! Yeah, the school even had a church in it too. Yeah, my japanese has been improving but it's amazing to see the different levels of japanese my classmates are in and who's catching on quickly and who's not! Personally, I have the passion for japanese but I find myself struggling in it. I hate to admit it but academics has never been my strong points. I suck at academics. I always study but yet end up with some crappy grade compared to someone that never studies but yet gets a good grade! It sucks because I have the heart but not the talent compared to others. So yeah, I'm always speaking japanese and I try so hard but it sucks when the next person is like better and doesn't even have to try as much because it comes natural. Yeah, it sucks because I'm not the best like at my school you have people that have took japanese for 1 year and are taking regular courses at Kwansei Gakuin the same courses as the japanese students which is pretty good! But yeah, I just want to improve but I do plan on studying over winter break though like really really hard! Well, then again I always study hard bleh. Other than that, I need to rest up since I have the flu but later days!
