Retrying the daily update thing. Lol.
I just got back home and it's 7.25 now. This time it's not late because I had to practice with students but because I had to finish making the finals. One for Wednesday and one for Thursday - first and second years. Staying late to finish my work wasn't so bad actually because it's more productive than me taking me work home (though I don't know if I'll want to stay late that often). All that's left is grading all the late homework they gave me (and good grief there's A LOT @_@) before they do their exams and I have to mark those too. Lol. I still have to record the listening part of the test but I'll do that tomorrow and I'll use Sam for it (sorry Sam! Hope you don't mind!).
Today wasn't all that interesting because not much happened. Everyone's in test mode. The highlight of the day was getting to hear the second half of the speeches. I practiced with Sakkusu-chan in the morning and towards the end of lunch to help. I love her dedication to it!
The speeches were fun to hear though some didn't do as well as I'd hoped and some did better than we'd expected. Basket-sensei and I talked about the students a little afterwards which was fun because I got to know a little more about them. Raion-kun did super well, Usagi-kun not as good as I'd hoped (because he got nervous!!) and Pride-kun really would be awesome at it if he put time and effort into it but we know he's not interested. *sigh* CA-chan did awesomely too course. ^^
Oh, in 14HR today, five girls handed in 3 pieces of homework all at the same time and ALL EXACTLY THE SAME. I think they all hate me now because I made them rewrite it all. It's ridiculous though if I let them get away with that.
Genkii-chan mailed me at the end of the day to tell me they have a practice hockey game soon so I really want to go to that!! That should be fun! <3
I think that's about it for today. Sorry it's not as exciting, haha. But be happy it's short. ... shorter. Lol.
I told myself I'd reward myself with chocolate for all my hard work today and started eating it when I started writing this but am on my last piece now so I'd best end this. Gonna go find something else to snack on after a shower.
Oh and finally, I got my receipt for sending money through GoLloyds which I did on the 19th of Feb. It arrived on the same day too so that's awesome. The charges were flat as they said. It's a pretty good deal I think! Gonna go save up some to send more home again. It took ages to do it on the 19th because even my supervisor didn't know how to use it lol. But we got it sorted in the end. Pretty useful for balloing for tickets now that I know how to do it... though I might do it through the post office because of the furikomi... we'll see.
ANYWAY zomg this is getting longer so I should stop ranting! Okay, I'm off! BAIII!
