New Kid

I am so excited! I am so excited! I am so excited! Ok, are you sick of the exclamation marks yet? SO, this kid from Korea came to my school. And, why should I be excited you ask? Well, he only speaks Korean and English. So I GET TO BE his translator. I get to use the Japanese I have been studying so hard for, for real. Whoo hoo! I escorted him to class, and I am in charge of him. I can't believe this....I am in charge of a child's every communication. And they want me to teach him Japanese as quickly as I learned it (not so quickly actually).  Of course, I do have my English classes and stuff that I do, but I am ecstatic to be in charge of making sure this kid goes through everything I went through over the past year starting with the 2 ABC's of Japanese, hiragana and katakana. Talk about deja vu, this is a great experience and reinforces everything I learned. I will test him by the end of the week, because I know what he should be capable of. He he he, and so it begins...I may be his worst nightmare, but he will be my greatest accomplishment.
