Nothing particularly exciting happened this week, besides being super busy at school. It reminded me of some of my days back at EY in Perth - I was at school until 7pm on Monday! It was mainly busy because I'd had extra classes the week before, needed to write a test and had lots of marking to do. Not to mention the fact there is quite a bit going on with Hyogo AJET at the moment. It's all calmed down a bit though now, thankfully, as a few of my ni-nensei classes were cancelled in favour of the teacher running a revision class.

This was the case for my ichi-nensei OC classes too, so instead of writing a real lesson and having some classes ahead and some behind (which is a headache), Kurioka-sensei and I agreed to run a revision session. This proved to be ridiculously easy as I just busted out the 'soccer' game, which is awesome, and based it on questions from everything we'd studied. The kids seemed to love it, and were really genki. Although ironically, some parents were allowed to come to school and watch classes this week, and two showed up to the loudest class I have ever taken. I hope they don't think my classes are always like that :)

Thankfully though, my rather busy and boring week is giving way to what's shaping up to be one of the most awesome weekends since I arrived! Which is kind of ironic, seeing as it kicks off with the Hyogo AJET Sayonara party for all the Hyogo JETs who are leaving soon. We're heading out to the traditional Hyogo sayonara party spot, the big beer garden on top of the SOGO department store in Sannomiya - should be good! After that I want to head to Polo Dog but expect I'll get dragged kicking and screaming to karaoke instead, haha. Dan and Goran said it's cool for me to crash one of their places for the night, which is handy. I'm heading out on Saturday night with them too, so having to go back to Ako (at 10pm) would a) ruin my Friday night and b) suck in terms of travel time for the rest of the weekend :)

And speaking of Saturday night, we're heading to Club Pure, w00t! As Dan is leaving and we haven't done Pure for ages (and it was a super experience when we first arrived), we decided that we had to do it one last time before he goes. We're going to hang out in Myodani/Sanno/Osaka during the day and then Pure away at night. Then it's back to crash at Goran's again. I want to do some photography on Sunday to get back in practise for the San-in Beach Party the weekend after, so I might wander through Sanno and Osaka until my friend's Alcapella performance in the evening. I've booked a day of leave on Monday (hooray for exams) so I can recover and do some chores on Monday, hehe.
