Bunkasai Day 2

I'm so exhausted right now. I'm into my 8th day of work in a row at the moment. And have been surprisingly productive despite the urge to giggle at everything.




But the weekend was fun.
Saturday ended with a wonderful performance by the dance club and also some of the finalists from the class dance contest. But most importantly, the workbook and journal for the second years was finished and copies were made! I had a big hand in making most of the second year materials, with input from others of course, but it was still a proud moment for me to see the finished copies.




On Saturday, I watched the guitar club's performance, met a bunch of former students who came back to visit, and went to the tea ceremony and flower arranging clubs. Several of my students are in the guitar club and one is in the tea ceremony club. She was able to explain the ceremony and what we were supposed to do in English. My advisor, the main English teacher, Kato-sensei, is in charge of the flower arranging club and asked us to come visit. They were very nice and showed me how to make a bookmark. Kato-sensei later brought me a small bouquet, which I added to my desk decorations.



We get tomorrow, Tuesday, off as a substitute day for working on the weekend. The other teachers get Wednesday off too, but Jeremy and I go to our visit schools on Wednesdays. Instead, we get to pick a different day, sometime this term, to take off.

I'm planning on sleeping a lot tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll get some cleaning done too, because my apartment needs it.
