Bad, bad teacher
It's hard to believe, but school starts tomorrow! In 10 hours, I will be standing in front of my first second grade class of the semester. And in about 14 hours I will be standing in front of my first high school class ever. I will be teaching English novels to the very first grade ten class of Fuhsing (this is the first year they've opened the high school). I was super nervous, but thankfully I am teaching with a more experienced (and laid back) Taiwanese English teacher. We had a meeting this afternoon and realized both have us have read... get this.. none of the novel we are supposed to introduce tomorrow. And I have prepared... get this... none of the worksheet that I have to give them. I think everyone would agree that this is quite uncharacteristic of me, but thankfully I am ready for my grade one, grade two, grade five travel, and grade 6, 7, 8 & 9 Advanced English classes!Nobody's perfect.

That should at least give you the appearance of preparation!
Good luck - I'm jealous!
