One class Thursday

It's really nice to have a late class on Thursdays. I mean I get enough sleep so I'm refreshed to be able to teach a class. But then again, there are two other teachers there too so I really don't have much work to do. Then I get a chance to eat lunch before I head into work, which is nice because I'm often eating breakfast walking to school. In Japan that's a big no-no, you should not walk and eat at the same time, but I don't get much of a chance to sit and eat. So I often get something at a convenient store and eat it before I get to the school.

But today I got lunch at Yoshinoya since I was a little late. I didn't have that much time to get something else to eat. I also took the chance to take out some money from the bank. I'll be needing to do that more often soon since I've got some things to pay for.

Well it was a nice day, and the only thing we had planned for the class was the last rehearsal of Peter Pan before the big English festival on Saturday. The other teachers told me in class that they almost missed the class today because it was only 40 minutes. And they forgot about that. And for them, it was their only class as well. It went well, this is one of the better 7th grade classes so we didn't have much to worry about.

I stuck around school till pretty late because some teachers were asking me to check some of their English. For signs, and posters, and many other things. And since CP took off right after class, I stuck around. I didn't leave till around 7pm, but told the teachers that I would be leaving around 4pm. I was running low on things to do while I was there. I punched up a new plan to teach the 10th graders and gave it to the teacher that I needed to. She seems extremely stressed out lately. It's really sad to see, since she's one of the sweetest person I've ever met. But she's having problems with some students in her home room class. I wouldn't blame her, if I had that homeroom class, I'd be in the same situation. Probably.

I think I broke one of the printers at work too. I caused a paper jam, and then it never worked after that. The teachers say it's pretty common, but if it was so common, how come it's still broken? Well, anyways, I let the other teachers take care of that, since they seem to know what they are doing and I just watched.

It's starting to get hella cold. It was the first time that CP admitted it was cold and not just quite cool. I was going to comment that it wasn't cold, it was freezing, but I think that's still coming. Freezing will be a term for the coming months. I'm excited, yet, terrified.

On the way home, I decided to go exploring. I stopped at Kikuna station, a station I've never been to before, just passed by. Well I got off and took a look around. I saw the west side, which really didn't have much. I would have thought that this was a big station since there are two different lines, but it didn't appear that way. At least I think so, but I should have looked at the other side to get a better picture. But I wanted to save that for another day. I think that it would be better to start exploring since I'm getting bored easier. I went into a curry shop and ordered Katsu curry. It was pretty good. It was a hole in the wall shop, but looked good from the outside even though it was a hole in the wall. It was much better than the other places around it and it did taste good.
