i love tuesdays.

i love tuesdays! i love tuesdays!

BECAUSE: i teach the craziest japanese people.

in the MORNING, i taught a drunk rich house wife. 

in the EVENING, i taught a beginner lesson that consisted of three adults all in their 50's (basically, i feel like i'm teaching my parents english). this class is always super duper amazing.

WHY YOU ASK?

1. one student is a woman who gives me presents every single week (since july). she's always gleefully prancing into my classroom with some elaborate piece of work that includes a lot of sugar or some exotic japanese treat. i love her!
2. another student is a male japanese lawyer, who was going to quit studying english, but after taking my classes he has decided to continue. yes!
3. the third is another male japanese dude, who every week is a complete RIOT! 

FOR EXAMPLE:

today's topic was "shopping" and the #3 japanese student was buying clothes at a store. he requested, "does this sweater come in any other colors?" 
japanese student #1, "yes, sir. what colors would you like?"
japanese student #3, "SHOCKING PINK OR RAINBOW."
japanese student #1, "i'm sorry, sir. those colors are only for women."
japanese student #3, "WHAT?! then i don't want this sweater!"
japanese student #1, "would you like another color?"
japanese student #2, "oh no. please don't ask him for another color."

i could not stop laughing the ENTIRE CLASS. oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!

while reading this, PLEASE keep in mind that these people are in their late 50's. 

wow, sometimes my job truly rules.
