Turns out that I wont be visiting each class nine times. Ill be visiting them three times. First class is a self-intro, the second an actual class and the last – not too sure yet. Not really economical for my 6 week visit, but what can you do?
Heres a shot of the second year students preparing for a camping trip. It was a good opportunity for me to burn stuff – one of my favorite outdoor activities alongside blowing up stuff and shooting stuff. Most of the girls seemed to cook their rice well enough, but the guys mostly burnt theirs. Note to self – No matter what someone says, burnt rice will never taste good.
Not much in the way of news, but Summer Vacation is coming up. Next week ill rent that prirus again, and drive to Izu for a overnight stay in a hotel, the week following that bbq/drinking party with some mates, and the week after that the vacation starts. Next month is going to be busy.I would also like to rant about a certain teacher that did something – shall we say, uneducated – but ill leave it for another day, or until I’ve left this school.
I will probably be going to see the sports festival at Hanamigawa Daini tomorrow, but I wanted to stick up a picture of them practicing their human towers. This is a group of the second years, but the third years will be making a four layered tower – if they don’t kill each other.
Had a good sleep last night, but for some reason my phone alarm has not been working recently. Because of this I woke up late, and skipped breakfast. Got on the bus (The right one this time) and fell asleep. When I woke up, I heard the name of my stop, and before looking outside, jumped off the bus. This wasn’t a good idea.
I had gotten off at the wrong stop (The names are almost the same, my stop is kaizuka chugakkou iriguchi, and I got off at kaizuka) I then somehow managed to find my way walking to school, and was only five minutes late.
I’M HUNGRY!
Take today at the school music festival. We had English speech’s, band performances and singing – took the whole day. Still all cellphone quality video, but its good enough.

Few things have changed since the last update, changing to a new school is the major one. I now take a train and a bus to get to Kaizuka Junior High which is about a 40 minute trip each way. With about 600 students, the school is six times bigger than my first. The students are a lot more “active”, my first day at school a student had punched though a window pane, and destroyed a metal bucket. It’s also quite common to see students bullying each other and fighting in the school.
There is a benefit of being in such a school and that is I have yet to be bored. There are also many different clubs that I can attend. I also managed to commandeer an empty classroom to use for English lessons which makes things a bit easier.
The school is known as one of the main “bad” schools in Chiba, but its really not that terrible, apart from having one quarter of the class talking, another quarter sleeping and the other half semi listening to lessons. But its not up to me to make them learn, I’m just there for those who want to learn.
Had a school musical thing the other day where a orchestra came to play, It was my first time to see one live, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Few more activities coming up, ill see if I can snap some photos.
