You know you are becoming...

a Japanese teacher when...

1) You no longer look up to loud shreiks of "EHHH!!"

2) You glance up at the clock, it's 6pm and you wonder where your time went...

3) Your first impulse, when a kid almost strangles another with a jump rope, is to scream "Abunai!!" (that's dangerous)

4) All you can think about all day long is going home, eating and getting in the bath

5) You bow while talking on the phone

6) You complain about how cold it is, but only to have something to talk about

7) You finish your lunch faster than all the kids stuffing their mouths and nearly choking

8) Energy keeps flowing and bouncing out of you but you have no idea where it is coming from because inside you are SO tired...
9) Your coffee cup is never empty (perhaps this relates to No. 8?)

10) This face never fails to make you smile...(but I suppose this face could make anyone smile...)
