My last day of class for the fall semester - white day

Today I will have my final three classes of the semester. I guess that I should be relieved, but in a way I’m not really looking forward to it. I know that a lot more challenges will be ahead of me and since I’ll be working more and harder and that more responsibility will be put on me. I’ve really got to get my act together for this one. They went pretty smooth kinda. The first 7th grade class was good, and I was doing more teaching that I usually do partly because the other teacher was a bit sick. But I didn’t like the activity that we were doing so I really couldn’t get into it. I didn’t think the students got into it either, but they at least played along.

The 8th grade classes were good too. Since the speeches had already passed, we just did a few other things that were fun to end the school year. But at this point I think both teachers were about to die. In one of the classes we didn’t even have a Japanese teacher to help us since she was sick. We did a section about shopping, the same thing that we did with the 7th graders, but at a faster pace. Actually one of the 8th grade classes were talking too much that CP had to stop the class and wait for them to be quiet. I think it was a multi-purpose break because she had forgotten to take care of some minor details in the handout that she was about to pass out.

I had prepared some Sees Candies for the female teachers and gave them out to the teachers that had given it to me. I even gave some to the 3rd grade teachers, who didn’t give me anything. Just because I’m a nice guy and all. It wasn’t much of a big deal, just something that we did just to get it over with. Sounds like a nice Valentines equivalent eh? I mean all the men did the manly thing and just gave it to one lady to pass it out to the rest of the people in the group. I guess that’s the usual tradition that goes on at this school. It’s great though, since they are all incredibly bright, young and beautiful ladies, I’m probably the luckiest guy in the world. Most of these ladies of course are single too. But that’s just gotten trouble written all over it. Ok, I’m all finished with the whole love bit.

I had also pissed off another teacher today. I had offended her by doing something that I’m pretty good at and that’s being sarcastic. I had mocked her major of study even though I had been agreeing with what she was saying. I was being such an ass about it, but didn’t realize I was doing it. I wanted to make the topic playful, but she obviously didn’t like that. I felt bad because it was the last day that I would ever see her again. It was her last week of work at the school.
