I haven't done this in a while so I thought you'd be interested. This is actually what a more "typical" day looks like for me.
11:45am: Arrive at the church building and get ready for my first English student.
12:00pm: Study with my first English student, a 14 year old girl who is here because her mother wants her to practice English while she's off school. Yeah, that makes for interesting times. It's a lot easier to study with people when they want to be here.
1:00pm: Alternately make noodles for lunch/eat them while calling my mom because I had news to share with her.
2:00pm: Another English student arrives. An older retired woman. She's very excited about English and though we are reading Luke, she enjoys talking about her life, travels and asking me questions. While she likes to talk, I'm not sure how interested in the Bible she is other than culturally.
3:00pm: My last student for the day arrives. A young businessman who has really good comprehension. This is my second meeting with him and we've started studying John. He tells me that it's interesting so far and he thinks everyone should read the Bible. I tell him that Christianity isn't just about going to church but about having a relationship with God.
4:00pm: I lay out clothes that people have donated to the church's "Second Hand" so that people can come look through them and take what they want.
5:00pm: I take care of some secretarial things. Writing blog entries, emails, Facebook communications
7:00pm: Choir rehearsal. This is the last rehearsal before our recording session on Saturday. We're making a CD to use for evangelism purposes. Once we're done with the recording, our summer break starts!
9:00pm: Head to McDonald's because I only had a quick lunch, no dinner and I'm starving!
10:00pm: Arrive home where I read, hang out, talk to friends in the states and relax.

Hello, Abigal! You need take care and not eat junk food. God gave you a good body so you must take care of it. Please!
As for your English classes do your pupils pay some money or they are absolutely free?
