A long wait and good bye

I only had one class today second period. I woke up a little late since I haven’t been getting enough sleep lately. I got home late last night because I was over at KHma’s house with JGz and YFto. I probably didn’t get home till around 1:30am or something around there.

As soon as I got to school, I had to get ready for class. We had 8th grade yuri today and we did another word search. This time CP made her own version based on the speech contest. There, of course, were many mistakes on there. It was a bit hard for the students to get it because there were that many mistakes with misspellings, and some words missing. Most of the students were able to finish it though, so that was good.

After that class, I really didn’t do too much. I was cleaning up my desk a little bit because technically, I was on spring vacation already. I don’t have any more classes and I’m not required to come to school if I don’t have class. I have to wait till next year when they get the new schedule. CP still hasn’t decided if she will stay or not, which is terrible since I don’t know if I will have to take over for her or not. I have already started working on the preparations for Oral Class if she decides to leave. I kind of wish, she would just decide. She is dragging this decision for too long and it is unacceptable. It is very irresponsible of her to be doing it. I’m stuck in the middle of it too because I don’t know if I will have more classes or less and I don’t know if I have to make the plan to follow the syllabus for all the grades.

I did the scheduling and worked on part of the syllabus that I wanted to work out already. I decided that it would be in my best interest just to do it in case things didn’t turn out the way that I wanted it to. It is always better to be prepared for the worst, so I am ready if she decides to leave. I think that I’ll be able to put in a better program that will help them carry their knowledge from week to week. I really like where it is going.

After I did that for a few hours, I went over to the part-time teacher’s office and hung out there for the rest of the time. I was just talking to MKni the whole time. We are pretty good friends and she was studying a little for the TOEIC test and I was helping her out. We were talking about a lot of other things too. It was fun. We talked till around 4pm because that’s when we needed to leave to go to Jiyugaoka for our farewell party to those who will be leaving the school or getting married.

We had dinner at a place called ?? which means good chicken. It was really close to the station and we had a whole area to ourselves. I was sitting with mostly English teachers, and one Japanese language teacher was sitting next to me. I felt a bit sorry for her since she was very quiet with the table. But our table out ate every other. Every time the waitress brought food, we would all eat it all up. The table next to us couldn’t eat everything once they brought it out so they were running out of space on their table. We had a variety of dishes. They brought us Udon Nabe, chicken cartilage, chicken wings, appetizers, radish salad and a few other things. We had mochi ice cream which was good, but not as good as the ones we could get in San Diego. I was really stuffed after we had finished eating.

Then it was the after party. We decided to go Karaoke at Big Echo, which is just across the street from the restaurant that we were at. I decided to join them, so I could just hang out and get to know the teachers better. It was actually very great because I was sitting next to two hot teachers. The problem was that one is married and the other one is getting married next week. Also the one that is married is leaving the school to be a full-time housewife. She started when I started working at the school. It was fun to talk to them tonight. I really enjoyed the feeling of this group. It is a completely different feeling than that of the teachers in the full-time office. They have energy and they genuinely have fun. I sang a few songs, two of which were in English and two were in Japanese. Many of the teachers were surprised that I sang a Japanese song. They suspected I had a girlfriend because of the lyrics to the song. But it was actually one that I learned in College for my girlfriend at that time. I was happy to come along, it was good.

After that I went home, it was getting really cold at this time. It was around 12:30am when I got home. I was really dead tired too. I haven’t had enough sleep recently. Even though I’m on spring vacation, and JGz is here in Japan. I could hang out with friends and catch up with them, but I think that it would be better for me just to relax and not do anything tomorrow. I needed to get enough sleep because I was getting really tired and unable to do many things. I got a lot of emails today, which was great. I think that it will be fun next year, well I mean school year.
