Halloween Marathon

The internet was still broken this morning, which meant I didn't get to speak to Hannah. I really missed that. Kanashima-san even emailed us all to tell us it wasn't working in the university either. Then my alarm clock magically set itself forward 12 hours so my alarm didn't go off. It was fine one minute, then weird the next! I was dosing, at least, so I wasn't late.

Lesson was none inventful, as usual, then went back on the bus. The internet was working by now, so I sent a few emails.

I went downstairs early to try and sign up for the tea ceremony that Cambridge House is having on 1st November, however no-one was at reception and I got mobbed by a load of Chinese-speaking only Taiwanese students asking me questions. Thus I didn't stay long; luckily Noriko picked me up at about the same time for my lessons.

Today was their Halloween party. Well two of them, as she combined the four classes into two. It was a lot of hard work, though, even just playing games. The second time through was better, though, as I had figured out what I was meant to be doing. Plus the second class was all girls, which seems to be a lot easier. The boys seem to be a lot more disruptive and fidgity. Plus they don't listen as much, and don't even try to understand.

It was all good in the end though, and I had quite a good time. Doing it again on Friday, though only once more. Noriko's threatened to leave me for the whole time, whilst she sleeps in the car. I hope she was only teasing as I would just die.

I had a late dinner in the cantine, where I was joined by Drummond, and then by James. Akiko and Nozomi also came and sat around and talked random Japanese. It's quite fun having other English speakers there, as you don't feel so crowded and you can do joint mickey-taking!
