NO TGIF THIS WEEKEND

How was the weekend? Busy I tell ya. First of all whoever heard of school on Saturday? Well, come to Asia or Japan, cuz they got it. So no TGIF love here, since thats right there was school on Saturday. The clicher it was a makeup day for a Wednesday earlier in the month where everyone got the day off for the school's founder day. But of course you can't get away that easily, so I had to teach 3 classes on Saturday morning, arrgghh. Then print out a lovely 500 tests for the 1st graders test on Monday.

Continued the day by meeting up with Daniel, Kayo, and Madoka for dinner at Blue Plate. Nice food, haven't been there for awhile so I forgot how it was. Madoka is heading out to Vancouver for one year. How cool is that. Going in opposite directions, I am sure she will have fun there. Caught up with Mike and the frisbee gang for a bit too and finished off the night with 3 hours of karaoke in the new improved VIP blue light Shidax room.

Of course if things weren't busy enough I had to finish up the 3rd graders test for Monday as I worked into the wee hours of the night, finishing up around 330am. Before that took a mini break to meet up with Daniel and get his lovely autograph for the photobook, and then caught up with Masa to help him out with his upcoming interview. Masa great guy, big guy and smart, heck even got 940 out of 990 on his TOEIC. Um, can't get much higher than that, thats already good. Even native English speakers can't get that high of a score, ha ha ha .

Then rolled in Monday today. First period all 500 of the 1st graders had to take my test. I wasn't so much nervous, I just wanted everything to go smoothly and be prepared. Got to use the broadcast room to announce the listening part of the test. It was kinda fun and there was no hiccups. Also stopped by the small room to give the listening test to 4 students. One of them had a hearing problem, but I didnt know which one, so it was a bit funny signaling with the teacher on which student it was. Anyways first test is done, but now the bummer, correcting all 500 of them!!! Also gave the 3-4 class their test. The mid term test was a bit too easy as all of them scored pretty high. So as directed, I was told to make a more challenging test, and boy did I. Muhhhhhhaaaa. Poor kids.
