The last couple of days before summer break have really been dragging out. They seem to last forever even though they're only fifty minutes a piece. Not surprisingly at this point the teachers aren't really preparing us for the next exam, it's just business as usual. For example, the same teacher who gave us the ghost story dictation yesterday handed out colored construction paper today for us to write rumors on. Cool, right? It's like being in kindergarten all over again except we don't get milk, cookies, or nap time.
The conversation class in the afternoon was a huge disappointment too. We made it through about half an exercise before she started rotating people again. That's a hassle in and of itself, but to make matters worse some of the students decided they were going to do their own musical chairs instead of a doing the orderly circle rotation. The funny thing is that the teacher didn't do anything except look in disbelief. She asked people to go to the correct seats but no one listened to her. I would feel sorry for her if it didn't put me at such a loss by wasting two hours that I could actually use to learn Japanese.
Friday is the last day before the vacation so I'm hoping it will go by smoothly. I still haven't gotten a clear explanation of the grading criteria for the interview portion of the exams yet. Hopefully I can work that out with old lady sensei tomorrow between classes. Anyway, it's kanji test routine again so I'm going to see how much sleep I can get tonight.
