The first day of Summer clothes
But the thing is, I didn’t wear any summer clothes. I thought it would be better if I wore the $1000 plus suit that he had bought for me. I woke up later than I wanted and ended up at school, much later then I wanted too.
The first class I had today was with 9th grade yuri. They were working on taking the subway and they were spaced out and not really working, so CP left during the last few minutes of class.
The second class I had today during 3rd period was with 7th grade ran. I don’t normally teach this class and hence that was why I was a bit later this morning even though I took the faster route was because I was helping with this class. They practiced the recitation contest.
Then 4th period was with 7th grade ume and they practiced the recitation contest by going up to the front of the room and reciting it with other classmates that are doing the same script.
The 5th period class was with 11th grade yuri and we started a new topic today. I just got them started with the dialogue and gave them time to look up words for their vocabulary quiz next week. We finished class with a grammar explanation of the dialogue.
The 6th period class was with 11th grade fuji. They were very loud and talking a lot and my voice really started to hurt in this class because I had to be louder. We started dialogue and a new topic today. They had a lot of time to look up words in the dictionary, but most of the students had forgotten their dictionary so I had to punish them by making them do a speech in front of the class. They had to do it three times because of the other students didn’t find it acceptable. I love turning students against each other. Damn I’m so evil. They had more time to finish and then we did the grammar lesson. We didn’t get to ask them their practice sentences though.
Then after school, I met with the headmaster of the school. We were talking about his son and my advice about SDSU and where his son would be best suited for school after he transfers. It was a pretty interesting conversation because his son is majoring in international business. I shared my thoughts with him. Then he asked me when I would leave the school. I think that July would be a good month to leave since I will leave Japan in August. He said that he will throw me a farewell party with all the teachers for me, so that was a bit of a shock for me. I didn’t mean to make it such a big deal, but I guess they will do it anyways.
After school we had English club and most of the Senior students showed up to help out and plan for the cultural festival. They found out that I will be leaving the school and leaving the country today too. It was a bit sad, but some people just brushed it off. My students are like that too. Haha. I gave them souvenirs from Holland that I got from Amsterdam. They really didn’t care so much that I went, but that I brought them something to eat when they were hungry. We did progress a bit on the planning for the cultural festival though, which was a good thing. We have general ideas and most of which are pretty much easy enough to do without too many people to help out. We need to get more people though.
