Today's class went by pretty quick like. I'm not sure how I did on the lesson test but I'm not really worried. Since this is a language school there is no such thing as good grades or bad grades. The only real measure of my success here will be how much Japanese I can master in two years. That being said, I really need to work out a better habit of studying when I get home. Mostly I just blow off steam with an hour or so of Scrubs and start reading my book. While it is written by a Japanese cat, I have the English version so it doesn't really count as studying.
Okumura sensei invited some of the junior classmates from the "Japanese teacher acadamy" (not the real name of the school) that is directly across from our school. Most of the girls who came over were really young. I mean, really really young. The one who grouped up with the front of the class, where I sit now, was only eighteen. She taught us some Osaka-ben and the slang that kids are using these days. We ended up staying an extra hour to talk to each of the junior teachers. Funny thing is, there class runs until 4:20 and the whole time they were chatting with us it was considered to be part of their curriculum.
Our softball team leaders received the instructions on how to play. For some reason they came out of the instruction period with the impression that the rules were completely different from baseball. Everything they said was exactly the same though, except for one incredibly gay rule. When you hit the ball you're not allowed to run until the ball touches the ground. It's not like that extra few seconds is going to do much other than make the difference between getting to the base or not. I guess it's basically to further handicap the people who can hit so that everyone just gets a chance to swing the bat around but no one really gets to score.
