Work

So whats new in my life... I just got a job last month and have been working like crazy ever since. Now I have 12 classes a day. My first class is at 8 am. This means I wake up at 7 to shower, brush my teeth and then I start walking for work. Thankfully my first student is a HUGE bundle of energy. Hes this 40 something spanish guy who is very excited about learning english. It really helps. I have class with him until 9:40 then get a 20 min break and have my group at 10:00. My group consists of 5 friends who work for the same company. They are all about 30 something and know english about as well as any other Macedonian I know. Class with these students are basically me having conversation with them and trying to teach them a bit about business. Its hard when business culture here is so vastly different from back home. I like the forwardness and straight to business approach that Macedonians had and I loved the responses that I got from them when I had to explain the "niceties" of asking how the family is our about the sports teams before business. Another thing with the culture is the idea that people who are excited to tackle a job here are considered morons and ass kissers, while back home if you dont show excitement you wont get the job. Needless to say these conversations can lead to some pretty interesting things being said. They are all good friends so talking shit on the other people is not out of the question for them, especially when we had 6 chapters on negotiations. Sometimes it gets difficult to control but for the most part it is a blast. 

So I have this group until 1:40 and have another 20min break until 2 when I have my last student of the day. She is one of the coworkers of my previous group who is just a little lower level than they are. I feel bad for her because she has to be stuck with me until 5:40. I am pretty tired by this part of the day but I usually drink enough coffee to keep me wired. As some of you know when I have a lot of sugar I can get pretty annoying. Like I said, I feel sorry for her. 

Once I am done at 5:40 I take the 30 min walk home and then eat. Look at the stuff I have to teach for the next day. Check facebook and then sleep. 

I have gotten to be pretty boring here.
