So.....

Yesterday's post I said I was going in for my final interview, which, I got the job. Yay for that! However, I also have to teach English at a really basic level, and I am not really sure if I can completely do that. Well, I also want to be perfect the first time, which I know isn't going to happen and it will take some time to get used to things. I start in August, once Brian steps down from teaching.

The strange thing is during my mock interview is that I feel that I made too many mistakes, and if it weren't for the fact that I was 1) a foreign native-speaker of English and 2) she had no one else to ask/give it to, that she overlooked the mistakes and gave me the job. If I would have done the same in America, I probably would have been not offered the job. I don't know, I really think it's a cultural difference in the fact that if I "try my best" things will be good.

Other than that, that is the only update worth mentioning right now. I have several things to get done before the end of the school semester, so I am working on them now (also on working on getting the blog up to date). But, first, I have to go and help Hiro (a Japanese friend of mine) write an English report (in English) for a presentation. If it is anything like last night, Hiro, Rin, and I will be up until 3AM working on and off the report (i.e. 10 mintues studying, 30 minutes ADHDing on random things) with me being really sleep deprived (I'm good as drunk when I am really sleepy, but can't sleep). But, I did get free dinner out of it. Yay, conbini (convenience store) food!

Dunno, why I am using this photo for this post, but....this really doesn't have a picture that suits it.
