The teachers explained how the schedule for tomorrow's speech contest is going to work out. We're basically going to do the usual kanji review for the first hour or two, then go to the auditorium in the next building over for the speeches. The speeches are tentatively scheduled to end before lunch but instead of coming back to school for the last two hours of the day we're just going to call it quits and go home. I can definitely see how the teachers would be excited about this but I happen to think it's pretty lame. Considering that the school is already closed for almost half the year for various holidays, sporting events, hiking trips and so on it only makes sense to use every hour we have for class.
I tried to get a little assist from my contact at the school but she didn't come through for me. All I was asking for was some simple explanations of what is expected for the interview portion of the placement exams. She instead referred me back to the Japanese teacher that proctored the last interview portion. That blows for two reasons. Mainly because the explanation would be rendered useless by the fact that it will be in Japanese, but also because I have no idea who proctored the exam last time. I guess I'll try and get the information from the old lady sensei tomorrow before the speech contest kicks off. The sooner the better, because as it stands I can't even begin to prepare for the next exam's interview portion.
