Friday's Here!

Today i went to interview at a Christian cultural center for a part time job. I thnk i got it...well, i know i got it. I just have to call the guy back tomorrow, or monday about it to tell him i can. It's on Tuesdays and Thursdays for 2 hours of conversational english. It pays about $500 a month (maybe more if there are more students) which isn't bad for 16 hours of work huh?! Then i went to lunch with the women from the biblestudy/cultural center, and met brian at 1:00 to go with him to his class. He only had one today..he usually has 3. The drive to the place where he teaches is beautiful. I tried to take some pictures from the car but it didn't work out that well..there's one that was OK. Brian was a little unprepared for his class b/c his bosses told him a different class was coming than was the one that showed up...so he had a whole advanced lesson planned and the very beginner class showed up. He was "slightly" annoyed! But he made it through and i am very proud of him. The kids really like him. it was an hour and a half long class which surprised me b/c they are very young children. I dont' see how they expect kids to sit still that long..but Brian mixed it up by playing Go Fish and Yatzee with them between reviewing flashcards and rhymes.
The curriculum he has to use is RIDICULOUS!!! He's supposed to teach for example he says..."Short 'O' says ah in Omnipotent" and then they repeat it. What 5 year old can say that word. I have enough of a hard time with it sometimes!! It can be tricky!! ANYWAYS..i hope that job works out for me. It would be awesome to have extra spending money and something to do on those days!
Much love to all,
amanda
