Winter Camp Day 2

So today was the second day of the camp, it was not the best day, I have to say.  I should have known early on.  I had chosen to go in a little early in order get some prep done before classes, however once I arrived at school I realised I had left my sandals at home and I knew without them I could look forward to squashing my large feet into the rather small school sandals.  So I made the choice to dash home and pick them up.  I got them, however I returned to school in time to realise that I didn't have time to prep and another thing I realised was that I am a little out of shape.

With such a naff start to the day I was floundering throughout the day.  I did my best and one or two of the lessons did work out and unfortunately the only time that I was given a chance to do some prep, I was told that I would be given one of my lessons off because the schedule had changed.  So I was happy, my afternoon would not suck so bad...Oh but wait, 5 mins into the class I was told that was in fact expected to teach.  How fucking ridiculous, I was not just unprepared for the lesson, but now I was totally out of wack.

Once the morning was over it was off back to my school as usual.  No afternoon classes, so I took this time to do some prep for the lessons tomorrow.  I was not able to cover everything, because the bastards have me teaching the most, I have to do 27 classes over 2 weeks and the other teachers (including Americans) only have 11!  But hopefully what I have done will help, especially since I can recycle some of it because two of the classes are the same level.

But aside from classes and prep I got a chance to do some Kung-Fu in my lunch break, I know this doesn't seem like all that much, but I really like to do a bit fairly frequently if I get the chance.  Unfortuneately there is no room in my accommodation, so I must resort to using whatever school I'm at.  I had the teachers of my school gawping at me today.  I don't really notice any more, especially since if I want to do any I have to do it in an open public space due to the need to maneuver. Maybe I'll practise at the winter camp if I get in early enough, it would be good if I could do some before work, but I'm lazy in the morning, so we'll see.

On the way back I doscovered something today, when you've had a bit of a lousy day the scenery on the way back home is still breathtaking.  The mountains in the distance are pretty amazing.  I can see how on a warm night a few cool beers on the roof of my building just staring at the scenery could pretty perfect.

Night all.
