Two 1-nensei classes today went just fine as they have all week. I've said it before, I'll say it again: 1-nensei are always fun to teach as they have amazing amounts of energy. Homeroom 1-2 at Tahara had to have the loudest group of students I have seen in recent memory. Everyone had a piece of paper, trying to find their matches.

"Are you Demi?"
"No I'm not."

"Are you Keiko?"
"Yes I am!"

Some classes have increased in their student capacity - at Tahara some of my 1-nensei classes have 50 kids in a class. It's really insane. And with everyone asking each other if they are so-and-so, the noise level jumped tenfold. Madness but Matsuo-sensei and I were quite happy that they were learning their newfound english.

Mrs. Shimomoto called me up at lunch. I've been invited to my homestay family's residence again, this time to attend a little party/gathering and to stay over the night if I'd like. Why not? It's fun hanging out with Hitomi, Shoji and their kids Miko and Kanta.
