Tests. Tests, tests, and more tests. Not so heavy on the grading today, but there were a lot of test taking today. Actually, half a day of it, but that is still quite a bit when it's the second day in a row and not finals. Poor first years were nervous 'cause I talk to quickly, but, for the listening section of the test, I spoke as quickly as I was told to. It's not my fault this time. For real. It's not. First time it was 'cause I was nervous as heck, but this time it wasn't. But, I did help grade a section of the test. I'm glad that they trust me enough to grade things. I went and asked if there was anything else I could do. There was. I stayed until about 6.30, and would have stayed a little longer, but one of the head teachers persuaded me otherwise. He also gave me a lift. We talked. It was nice. I think that I am lucky 'cause all the teachers seem pretty cool. And the students are pretty darn good too.

My underwear keeps giving me a wedgie.

...it's true AND let's me start an entry without saying 'Today...'
well, anyway, today the kids had some tests, and they will tomorrow as well. So, for the first period or three I had nothing to do, so I studied me some Kanji. After that, I got to grade tests like there was no tomorrow. It was entertaining, but some of them made no sense. I do believe my favorite went something like this: I played with three dogs. I used a ball. It was pretty good. That kid is tops in my book. Tops.
Today was sunny...and hot. It was so sunny it actually hurt my eyes after so many days of rain and clouds. Most of the week seems like it's supposed to be pretty sunny, but we'll see how that goes.
