Recitation Contest

Today is a big day for the 7th graders. It was their first performance in English for the school and for them. There was a lot of pressure on them since they are a higher level grade than the previous years. They performed really well today too.

I was tired because I had slept late and gotten up late too. I slept on the train and did manage to finish up a chapter of the book I’m reading about teamwork.

After the contest, I had lunch with another teacher that I find very cute. She’s married and has two kids though, which is a shame. But I think she’s really beautiful. We had lunch at an Unagi restaurant that was very good. Then we went to a dessert store and she wanted me to try a few desserts that were particularly special for the store and for the area.

I went back to school to play tennis with the students. I was really tired, but did it anyways. We played for a few hours. I gave them the souvenir I bought for them and they devoured it.

I left school around 7:30pm again and was really really tired. I wasn’t able to walk straight even. It was pretty bad. I was sleeping while standing on the first train that I had taken. I was a bit hot and sweating at this point though since it started to mist and become humid. When I switched trains, I was able to get a seat and slept the whole way till my station. I had trouble walking home because I was tired and sleepy.

When I got home, I made dinner, which was the last of the curry that I had made and then I watched the Soccer game on TV. I also ate the nice cantaloupe that I bought the other day. It was damn delicious and it only cost me 500 yen too. I think that was a super deal since it normally goes for 4000 yen. I watched the World Cup match between England and Paraguay. I was very surprised that David Beckham scored in the first 4 minutes. I thought Paraguay was going to get smoked, but they are both strong teams. So it was pretty interesting. This lasted till midnight though and watched it even though I was sleepy.
