Seniors

I woke up pretty early today so go buy my commuter pass and my bus pass. It went pretty smoothly.

Today was a pretty easy day because 3 of my 4 classes today were seniors. Their activity was just to plan a trip for their final presentation. So CP had a stack of brochures of locations to let them see and they were to choose a location and what to do when they got there. I really didn't have to do much.

The 5th period class, my last class today was the 7th graders, but they were well-behaved today. I think the reason why was the English Department chair was sitting in the back of the room observing. It was her home room class and she wanted to see how they were doing since they are usually out of control. So we did the activity today and it went pretty smooth even though they didn't understand that much. Even though we've been doing it for 3 weeks. I think they are getting better.

I learned that today at lunch, the English Department chair switch plans on me. She said that I would be teaching the 7th grade instead of the 8th grade on Saturdays. And that I wouldn't be teaching the Teachers English this weekend. She like my plan for the Teaching Teachers and thinks that it will be interesting. She didn't comment on the 8th grade plan, but I think it was because it wasn't in the right format. So as they were preparing for the festival after school, I punched up a new plan under the right format for the 7th grade and gave her my newly updated syllabus and lesson plan. She was surprised at how fast I did it. Of course she was busy, so I won't hear anything about it till much later. I'm sure after the festival.

I left school fairly early because I wanted to go to Shibuya Tower Records to listen to some music and buy a book. I went to the 7th floor to buy Dan Brown's Angels and Demons. I wanted a hard cover, but they only had paperback, so I bought it anyways. I was reading it on my way back to Yokohama station, it's pretty good so far. I bought the Da Vinci code yesterday, but my sister told me to read Angels and Demons first. I'm usually not much of a reader, but it's enjoyable.When I got to Yokohama station, I went to the 7th floor where their book store is and I was looking for the book in hard cover, but they also didn't have it. Also, I was looking for a poster hanger, but they don't seem to make them here. So I think I will ask my sister to mail me one from the States, when she sends the rest of my stuff. I read some more on the train going back home.
