Class Match

In Japan all students have to take entrance exams to get into their chosen High Schools. Its no different for my school, and then all the teachers have to grade them. That essentially takes 2 days, BUT instead of giving the student a bunch of days off they hold class match.

Classes in Japan are segregated highly, student don't move, teachers do. So they become really close to their class....or have basically no friends o.0

So alot of my favorites classes did well... So as a teacher I should be impartial. But I'm not really a teacher so I don't really stay impartial lol! I even decided not to cheer for teams so I wont show my favorites but lo and behold I was cheering on my favorite team in the end.... Oh well...

Sadly two of my favorite classes landed up going head to head and I landed up cheering my obvious love class. Felt a bit bad...my favorite class landed up losing. Their own fault...like alot of classes they made their two teams even. (The classes in Japan are HUGE so they can make 2 full teams for volleyball with subs, and boys can make 2 full soccer teams) I was going to cheer boys soccer, but it was POURING FREEZING rain all day, and the boys had to play in it. Felt bad for them...but not enough to warrent me to go out there o.0

In the end class 4 girls won, (the boys of class 4 also won their soccer matches so that class of rather quiet kids did super well. Who knew the class knows a "zombie", "dead", etc would win! ) they were smart they made their b team absolute crap. I mean so bad they got beaten something like 2-15, 5-15..ouch, and only played one game. (Though not as bad as class 3, their A and B team got eliminated in the ranking first day mtches and didn't even get to play the second day !!) But their A team raped, and I didn't want them to win somehow. I always like cheering the underdog even though I really like their class. Though for some reason I don't like the girl who is the classes defacto leader. Some classes have either one boy or one girl who is the bad ass leader and basically rules the class. In class4 most students are generally shy but this one girl is really not, shes smart too but I already know shes going to be a horror student next year...sadness. Too bad her listening comprehension probably beats some of my JTE's...

It was good over all I got to talk to some of my bad class 2 students, even the girl who is semi hopeless in English. At first she just answered all my questions with OH YES! Regardless if it was a yes or no question..but in time we were communicating...via noises and hand motions but she was jazzed and though shes actually horrible went...Woah I'm doing pretty good here! Also, I probably remember about 100 students names before this but I think I've LEVELED that UP to about 120~ w00t

Also funny, my favorite student is in class 2. Yes that horrible that I say it out so honestly "favorite student" but she is awesome. Shes also a kiss ass, though I hated those types of students in school now that I am a teacher, SHIT! it works.... So her class was doing well, and I was with her other A team class mates cheering them on (they made their teams so well they were basically equal, one over all very well rounded and one with a couple power hitters.) So they are playing a team with some power strikers and the girl in front isn't digging the ball properly and it just deflects off her arm at sharp angles...into my fav students face...three times. Its pretty ouch looking and its in the same spot her right eye area.

So at the third time I go ouch! That sucks! So one of her team mates (who is not a very good student but loves English) says " Ohhhhh.. (mock sympathy sounding) beautiful face....BAM beautiful face..NO beautiful face..hehehehehe." Ouch double harshness, she is rather good looking and even her friends will tease her about being so skinny and being cute etc.

In the second year my favorite class wins, though I don't really watch. It was pretty much a given that they'd win, and like I said before I don't like cheering for the winning team. Class 8 they are..not the brightest but super energetic, and are super sporty! Also the captain of the volleyball team is in there and though shes short has an insane spike! Amazingly the teams that made the top were class 1 (top science class..the class with the least amount of girls, and class 9 the top literature class) You'd think these intelligent students would just suck at sports but they did really well.


I also ran into Reika, a girl I feel somwhat sorry for. Shes in class 1, the class that made the finals and its the science class and most girls in there are...science looking girls. But this girl is really cute, and super shy but seems to generally enjoy English (I think...) So when she saw me she went "OH! OH!....hello..." She is also.....slow in the reaction department, so for Japan that magicaly inhances your cute charm +5. But I feel bad for her because in class she gets teased all the time, for being too cute o.0 Like oh your so cute! Too cute! Oh this is so cute...its like Reika! CUTE CUTE CUTE said in the way that little children like to tease the kid who is fat..as if cute were suddenly a negative o.0. It's weird! But I guess I don't really need to feel bad for her, shes good looking and obviously smart....shit! I can see why they have to bring her down a notch. LoL..strange Japan.

Overall it was really fun, and seeing some of the kids being just such awesome athletes made me want to get back in shape. I dont know why but some girls just didn't have that air of being awesome athletes and alot of them tell me they are awful at sports! Also volleyball is one of my weakest sports (also the sport I twisted my pinkie finger doing, never bothered splinting it either and thus I have a fucked up pinkie) so just knowing they could just destroy me at it makes me for some reason bitter. I want to get in shape and get better at volleyball....I am also silly. So I can see why Japan matches me.

Once again w00t Hawaii Des date in T-minus 9 days!
