So, I have really had alot of downtime over the time I have been in China. You see, when I came here I was supposed to work at two public schools. Subsequently, one public school is no longer with my agency, so I only taught there twice. I know it was nothing I said, apparently it was an issue between my company and the school.
The public school, where I live and eat in the cafeteria, has only asked me to give two lectures. Thats right, two hour long lectures, since I moved in here last November 4th.
The work I have been doing has almost entirely consisted of work at a private school run and owned by the senior english teacher here at the school where I live. My home/school is a language oriented school, and a good one at that.
Anyway, for the past month I have been told to wait while preparations are made for me to conduct a twice weekly language club lecture. I finally was told I needed to prepare an assessment to administer to the students, so we could select the higher fluency students for the club.
I completed the assessment in a day. That was three weeks ago. It has taken until today for them to administer the test, which is being given to the entire school.
This has allowed me alot of time to sleep, watch youtube videos about reptilian aliens who rule the world, and to sleep. Did I mention I sleep alot?
My work primarily consists of me going to the private school and working on Saturday and Sunday for 18 hours. Since my employment contract says I only work a maximum of 20 hours I week, I am inclined to think that when I finally do start teaching the club, that I will get overtime...
To be fair, I had been going to the office of my agency several times a week to work on various things,
I am going to make it my new years resolution to venture around the town more. I have largely stayed in my room and watched internet videos. I need to get back to working on my Chinese.
Since coming to China, I have seen a few sites around Wuhan, have been to Hong Kong for three days, and went to the Wudangshan. Next week is winter break, and I hope I can take a train to Shanghai.
