I just finished my incredibly long day of teaching three English classes (two hours per class) topped off with another two hours of Chinese lessons. My horror class behaved better today--not great, but significantly better than last week. I went in with an "oh no" attitude, but I was able to keep things fairly light, even when I was putting two students' computers away for them because they were playing WarCraft instead of reading or working on dialogues.
We have a new Chinese teacher, and the lesson was significantly harder than anything we had last semester. Hard, but good. I can't say that I learned a lot because it all seemed to be slipping through my brain, but I was awake and mentally engaged the whole class period. Chinese grammar is a bit bizarre.
