Last lesson of 2004-05

It was raining when I walked to my car after school today. The weather feels warmer too so I'm thinking that the winter may be over. No more snowboarding. I'll have to wait til next November or December. I'm quite upset by that idea.

Still, at least my brothers are arriving so that might cheer me up. I was talking to Mark tonight about the last minute details in packing and stuff. I still can't believe that they're coming over. I spoke to Mum this morning and she said she's quite jealous of my brothers. I said she should come over in August for her birthday. She's not sure, but I'm hoping she changes her mind.

Had my last lesson of teh year today. It was the weather leasson with Kamayama-sensei's 1-7 class. It went a lot better than on Tuesday. I'm not sure if it was because we were more comfortable with the lesson or if the ability of this class was higher, but we managed to get through everything a lot quicker. This was good because the lessons today are ten minute shorter than normal to give the students for extra cleaning time at the end of school.

The students-cleaning-the-school thing still surprises me. It makes perfect sense, the students make teh mess so they have to tidy, but I guess the idea that cleaning is done by cleaners is so ingrained in me that it still seems strange.
