Monday - Rumoi HS Exam Week Day 1

Rumoi High School 2/14/22

It's Monday once again. It's also Valentine's Day. It's perfect as I'm going to go to one of the schools that I love and that is Rumoi High School. For this week, the students will be taking day 1 of their exam. This means that there won't be regular classes for us.

Time to go home after a long day of work.

Hence, I used most of my free time to study Kanji, and then in the afternoon after the exams, I trained Mugi-chan and then Komai-sensei for their upcoming Eiken interview. 



At home, it's that time of the month again when I need to refill my heater with touyu. Well, that pretty much sums up my day. See you tomorrow!

Solo time in Rumoi High School's faculty

The faculty had a meeting that I was not part of so there was a time when I was alone in the faculty room. 

Rumoi English Chat Club - Topic: Valentine's Day

That night, we had our bi-weekly Rumoi English Chat Club. Our topic for the day was about Valentine's Day. When I got home, my wife and I discussed how the "Project Migration" plan was progressing. She said she's already looking at flights to Japan, hotels to stay, and quarantine.

Refilling my 灯油 canisters

In a way, I'm learning a lot of Kanji already. At this rate, I can probably take N5 at the end of the school year. In the afternoon, Mugi chan and I had our last Eiken Interview Exam training as I would be out of town going to my visit schools starting tomorrow and her Eiken will be on Friday.

    1. It's pro bono. I do get free drinks when I'm there. Regardless, it's a way for me to meet more locals in Rumoi.
