PHEEeewww what a week and there's more yet to come.
Whaoh, this has been a busy week, and the yet to come shall be as well. (I mean busy for me, not in comparison to eveyone else, because that would mean my week was dull and boring)
I bought a bunch of Halloween goodies and made up little goody bags for E-clubs and my elective OC class as well as teachers.
I made or organized three games for our Halloween party on Friday. We are going to play 'Pin the tail on the cat'. Which I cut out of felt and made tails for the students to tag onto the cats rear. Also we are going to have a contest who can wrap their friend up like a mummy with TP the fastest. The JTE will be the judge of who looks most mummy-like. Also we are going to play bobbing for persimmons (considering like apples they will float...we'll see).
I made a big poster board presentation about Halloween. It's three posterboards. The first talks about the origins of the holiday, the second, about traditions and superstitions, the third, about games, costumes and such.
I got to use in twice today, I thought it went pretty well. I'd leave the posters in the front of the class before class started so naturally all the students would come up before class to loook at it. YAY!
Tomorrow I'll pass out goodies and carve pumpkins with the Sanjo High kids, Thursday I'll do another presentation and play some games and hand out the goodies and Friday I will do more games with the kids as well as treats of course and probably the presentation again. And since Sanjo Higashi High has it's own "English" room, I can just leave the presentation in there. ^____^
Wednesday is a long day with Eikaiwa, but it should roll smoother than last week. ^______^
Whoooooooo plus on Thursday after schoool my friend Nogima will pick me up and I'll go to a Halloween presentation/party her and her students are putting on (they are little kids learning English). Very cute.
Then of Friday I'll swing in to Natasha's to drop off the movies I borrowed and say hi, then ride home, pack and ride to Yahagi. Hang out for the night at Hashi T's ,(Bridget's) We are making Thai curry and watching scary movies. Then Saturday we'll ride to Yahiko to visit the park(I need reference for new mini comic), shrine and Chrysanthemum Matsuri.
Sunday, I'll rock n' roll at church.
MONDAY IS A HOLIDAY!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOoooooo, it's Culture DAY! I'm hoping to plan to go to the History Museum in Nagaoka, but we'll see, I might just work on some projects and such.
Everything is going good.
Also today I sketched out another mini comic of thumbies. It's called "Aki" (Autumn), using two cat characters that I recently created that live in Japan under the house of a foreigner. It's 13 pages this time. My last one was 7, so I thought I'd step it up. These are nothing big but progess non the less and are really fun.
Peace out homeslices! That's what's shakin' in the hood.
