CM#16 First Day Blues

Filed under: Podcast, China Living — Adeh at 1:33 pm on Tuesday, December 13, 2005

Coming home late Monday evening, I decided to put together another story podcast. This one tells the story of my first day teaching in China. The first class did not end up being a good indicator for the rest of my classes thoughout the year. I really enjoyed my time teaching and the students and classes, in general, were the best part of my first year in China. The little altercation regarding my first class was, however, a good indicator for my relationship with the administration. We can leave at this, communication was not their strong suit. Maybe some other day i can talk more about the politics and psycology of teaching in China, and why ultimately I couldn’t take it anymore, even though I truly did enjoy my time.
