We didn’t have school this past Tuesday, but in exchange we had school yesterday for another open house for the junior high schoolers. And today, Sunday, I also worked. I was a judge at the Rising Cup debate contest in Isesaki. I judged three out of five rounds and was already exhausted. All the active listening takes it out of you. Our girls did their best and I was quite proud. The winning team was really amazing. They had one girl who could really attack the other side with her questions.

We were there all day. My teacher dropped me off at Takasaki station and I grabbed some conbini dinner while waiting for my train. So tired. And school is tomorrow. Wednesday is Gunma Day so at least there’s no classes. Most teachers will take nenkyuu (PTO), but I don’t want to waste it.
