Hello Real World aka "I love boots!"

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So today was my first day of real work ever!!! It was nervwrekingly exciting. I team taught the whole day and then had an extensive lesson planning/scheduling session after my 20min lunch break (10 mins of which was spent in commute to and from my house) O_o.

I absolutely love all of my students! The are all very enthusiastic about having me as a teacher even if they don't speak a lick of English. I even gave a little speech in Mongolian to all of my classes that basically equated to "I know a little Mongolian, but I always to speak Mongolian. We to speak English must always to do. If to speak not correct, it is okay. Always speak then one year later you can speak well maybe." I think it encouraged them to hear my horrifically broken Mongolian and see that I really care about them learning.

I will be working 30+ hrs a week. Much of it will be tutoring and lesson planning with the 3 other English teachers. I will also be in charge of English Club where I get to do whatever I want so long as it relates to English!!!!!!!! Feel free to shoot me any ideas you have regarding that!

As a reward for doing such a good job on my first day I was given 1/2 a kilo of green peppers!

Then on my way to the MobiCom (my phone store) to buy more phone units I found this awesome shoe store ... It was wall to wall boots!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need to get my calves slimmed up a bit and then save up for a few weeks and I am so going to buy me a gorgeous pair of real leather Mongolian boots!!!!!!!!!!

Also I am giving my students "English" names. I wrote two names from each letter of the alphabet (one male one female) and they will get to choose. No repeats in a class. Here are the names:
Boy -- Girl
Albert -- Alena
Bart -- Barbie
Chuck -- Cher
Desmond -- Dwan
Eugene -- Eileen
Finn -- Francine

Paul -- Penny
Quinn -- Queenie
Ringo -- Rita
Seymour -- Sadie
Teddy -- Tori
Ulric -- Ulga
