| Classes and Nosebleeds |
| 06.19.04 (3:42 am) [edit] |
Had a bit of an odd day today. Still at that (relatively) far away school, and I only had two classes.
One was just insane. There were 12 kids, which was the largest class I`ve ever taught (usually it`s around 6 or 7), 6 year olds, and all but one were boys. It was just...crazy. They were running around, fighting, chucking blocks at each other, climbing on the tables...ugh. Try teaching them a language when they`re acting like that. Dante couldn`t devise a rival type of torture.
Then I had 6 ten year olds. That was better, except for a small incident. We were playing this ball game, and I guess two kids collided...one of them runs up to me and says, `Sensai, asdlfkjasdlfkjasdlfkjasld jf...` and points to his nose. So being the bright person I am, I reply, `Huh? Something wrong with your nose?` and at that moment, whoosh...it was like that scene in `The Shining` when the elevator doors open and blood floods the hallway. It just came out and out and out, bleeding all over the place. So after my first panicky and rather ignoble mental reaction (I felt a little guilty and nervous, because my game was responsible...so my first thoughts were, `Chop him up in little pieces and hide them in the floorboards after the rest of the kids leave. No one needs to know what went on here today.`), I got him holding his head back with a tissue, and called head office to report it (they`re very sticky about any kind of injury, no matter how small; they always check up on it and call the parents, etc.). But everything was okay.
Tomorrow I`m meeting up with a few people in Tokyo, and gonna expore the Big City for the next day or two. Ten to one there`s going to be a blog posted here on Tuesday night that says I got lost.
