ECC

So apperantly none of the students remembered. I remined the teachers to tell the students but that kina failed. As a result bombarding them 5 seconds before it happened kinda did not work. In the end though like 12 students did come, but not for the reasons I thought. 4 came to give me chocolate..well one of them wanted to give me chocolate and 3 of her friends came with her. That resulted in some conversation, thought initially they were like NO ENGLISH, just chocolate, and I was like wait what?

Some girls from the class next door to this empty classroom who always go to that room were there and I talked to them and gave them chocolate. Thankfully with one of them, I have a good relationship (shes an awful students whos been really friendly ever since I told her she looks slim when she commented she was on a diet) So that was good I talked to them for a good 20 minutes before some other students showed up.

Then another girl came to give me some hand made chocolates, she was so cute. It was really like oh your here for english practice.........., and then she gave me the chocolate haha. And then I ran into more students who had made 7 stamps and wanted their prizes..that resulted in NO english talking. Though one of them was with spacey girl who I gave guitar tabs to on her birthday and I talked to her about that. So it wasnt a complete lose.

A BUNCH of lessons learned, 1 students need to be reminded DAILY of these things. They easily forget what I tell them...granted i admit I told them 2 weeks in advance so I can see how they forgot even with my posters. Cuz hell even I ignore those things. Also reminding teachers to tell them FAILS, they either didnt say anything or the students arnt listening. Also students wont come at lunch untill after they eat, which leaves like maybe 15 minutes to talk before they have class. So many lessons learned, I will persevere. But this time I'm going to make the club the WEEK after I have lessons AND I'm going to personally remind the students a few days before hand AND I'm going to make it afterschool.

In the end I think it went.....eh. Couldve been MUCH worse, with NO ONE showing up. I'm also happy I got candy, though BOO to all the students I expected candy from who didn't give me any! In the end 4 girls got LOTS of english practice, 2 got some, 5 got a little/and one basicly got none. 8 students got candy and I got 6 pieces (though two were from teachers...thus kinda not counting..)

So in the end though really most of the students just came to give me candy, I count them HAHA. So I count 5 students coming for the sake of English, cuz seeking me out = English practice. I'm also jazzed the four girls who happened to just be there when, I said I spoke a little Japanese from living there for 6 months and they STILL spoke to me in English. Yays, granted it could be just because they were used to it, by that point I had been speaking to them for 10 minutes. Also music so works, two girls (one of them a fav) said they LOVE American music, so I talked to them about it. I'll talk to this girl more often from now on. After school I'm thinking of harassing my favorite students like, WHY DIDNT YOU COME! In reality alot of them just didn't know so I wont fault them.

My predecessors, predecessors, predecessor is in Town and I'm wondering if i should go to his welcome party. I do have Japanese class, but that's not that fun. But the after part always is, its like hang out with my friends or show face at work... I think I'll go show face at work it makes me wonder how was this guy SOO well liked. His lessons seemed hard and he seemed strict with the students. But the teachers were different, the teachers he is close to are all third year teachers I don't teach with. And he even mentioned the first year teacher (the other two who hes never met) is kinda...iffy. And he seems to be rather distant from the second year teachers...so maybe that's it? Nah, its totally this internet/ PC damn you technology I don't talk to teachers because I am on here! Oh well. I think ill go...
