Monday: At school, Fukuda-sensei gave me a gingerbread man, which was very nice. Hitomi Teraoka came by and gave me this chicken/ginger/spring onion in a tofu sack with mustard on top and grilled onions dish, along with a delicious home made okonomiyaki, two mikan, and two bags of senbei.
Tuesday: I cooked sweet and sour pork and buri for the Teraokas, and gave two calligraphy [one normal, one gold] to them [I have been doing the same for the principal and each of the vice principals].
Tuesday was also the year end meeting with the principal and two vice principals; I got really great feedback from them, they loved what I did and told me to continue challenging the students and get more involved. I want to set up regular office hours at lunch in Kanzan, etc. Hope to go to badminton too.
Today, I forgot to cook lunch/was too lazy to because of the cooking last night, so I just brought a bag of mikan to eat. Fukuda-sensei gave me a bag of flavored pretzels from Muji q_q
Had ESC today; we read an abridged version of O. Henry's The Gift of the Magi, and then I talked about Christmas in the US. Mutsumi will be in Speech Communication next year! I'm so glad that at least one of my students in ESC will be in it :D
