Yesterday preparations for the sports festival started, and although I wasn't doing anything I had to go in. I was in the staff room for most of the day finishing up the name tags. After work I went to Himeji to get some track pants to wear today. I headed to Uniqlo and stumbled upon some WICKED bargains. Other than the track pants that I went for, I bought a pair of linen pants for 500yen(just under $5) and khaki shorts, with suspenders included for a total of 390 yen! So needless, to say I was very happy. I got back home and instead of going into the shower and washing my hair like I intended, I spoke to Rashida, Erica(e-diddy) and Menai in Brooklyn on skype. After speaking with them, I packed my bag for the weekend...Khaleelah, Christina and I are going to see Frankie Paul in Nagoya. Showered and went to bed.
This morning woke up at 7:15, made breakfast, took my video camera and camera off their chargers, dressed, packed my lunch and headed out to get to school for 8am. The Futaba JHS Sports Festival started promptly at 8:30am. The students had a good time participating and having their families there cheering them on. I swear it was like a community event the way people came out to support. Just before lunch I was asked to run the 100m with the grade 1 teachers. I was up for it, so it was a go. During lunch it was decided I would run anchor. All I could think is "oh Lord, what are these people expecting from me! I am so tired!" Everything went smoothly though, I ran anchor and we won our race. Kyouto-sensei(vice principal) videotaped the race and another teacher took some pics. All in all it was a really fun day and a great experience.
Now I am sitting in front of the computer at Khaleelah's house. I got in about an hour ago and now must go get ready for the jam tonight. As usual, pictures will follow...just be patient! Okie byeeeeeee!!
Oh, by the way I have a 2 day work week. This is a long weekend and because we worked on the weekend we get the next 2 available work days off...I love Japan!!!
