hyaku nin isshu tai kai and bo nen kai

Today will be an annual competition between all the classes in the school. It's based on a poem from another era, but made into a game by having the lines of the poem broken down into small cards. The point of the game is to pick up the card when it is called. So the teacher will read the poem and the students will pick them up then they hear it, and it sounds simple enough, but it's a long poem and there are many of them. It's made up of 100 peoples' poem. Most people memorize it, and some of the students were able to do that. I wouldn't have been able to since that would be lot of work. But I was thinking that this is a good game since it encourages students to study in order to win. That's a teacher's dream right there. It was pretty fun. I was following 10^th grade Kiku from the first round. They did pretty well since they beat out 11^th grade ran and 12^th grade kiku. It was sad that none of the 12^th graders made it to the semi-finals which was a big contest in the gym. The 10^th graders were good, but they lost to the 11^th grade yuri class.

After the event and clean-up, I stayed around school to help with other stuff. I had an assignment for winter vacation, but I didn't want to have work over winter vacation so I started working on it at the computer at school. It was for the speech contest in March and all I had to do was resort all the speeches in the order that they would have to go on stage. They wouldn't be going in order of class or even alphabetically, but by height. So I had to figure out the order and then rearrange them. It took a little longer than I thought it would, but I still got it finished at school and didn't need to bring it home.

There were still things that needed to be cleaned up that the male teachers needed to do. It was involving taking down the picture of the Yakumo-chan and some of the main lights before the snow came.
