A short, but long day

I only have two classes today, but I still ended up staying at school very late. I still haven’t figured out the timing to get to school, but I had to carry my umbrella since I brought it home yesterday and it didn’t end up raining. So that was a bit of a hassle. It was nice today though, which was a nice change of pace. I wanted to play some tennis today too.

The first class 5th period was with 10th Yuri and they had their speeches today. I thought that they were pretty good and we held them to a higher standard, than I thought of the other classes. They are the highest level, but I think that they are just being lazy and it was weird with the scoring too. But it was all ok.

The last class today was with 8th grade fuji and they were working on the next chapter about questions. They are actually on this chapter, so we didn’t skip anything like we did yesterday. They are all caught up and they were a bit louder than usual, which reflected how they behaved last year. It was ok and acceptable though. They have to bring souvenirs for next week’s class.

After school, I was working non-stop to get all the new things for the next section ready and for me to pass off all my materials to the next teacher too. It took a lot longer than I thought it would take. I thought I could get it all finished in about 30 minutes, but it ended up taking close to 3.5 hours and I ended up leaving school at 7:30pm. There was a schedule change, so I had to accommodate for that and plan what I would want to do.

I also talked to the new teachers about their classes and helped them out and offered my advice to them. But I think that overall, I must have scared them. They don’t seem fit to be teachers and are always worrying, in the bad way, about their classes. They haven’t gotten good feed back from the students and they are doing everything they can, or it seems sometimes, to improve it. But then it could be their personalities too. They aren’t the happening people in the world either and they are overworked with the other responsibilities of the school.

I ate dinner at Yoshinoya and watched Bari Bari Value, which is a show that I’ve grown accustomed to watching on Wednesdays.
