It's Christmas eve.... I made brownies and bought imported gingersnap cookies to bring to the JHS. In addition, I handsewed some felt ornaments and brought other small gifts for a few select teachers. I also received a couple more gifts myself, which I am saving to open tomorrow. Yay!
Today is the last school day, though there are no classes. Instead, everyone dressed in uniform for the closing ceremony. The Japanese are quite fond of their ceremonies. I watched as the vice principle and principal walked onto the stage. They bowed as they came up on the stage, bowed as they approached the microphone, bowed as they backed away from the microphone, and bowed as they left the stage. If there happen to be other people on the stage, they stopped and bowed to them as well. I hid a smile.
Later we are all going out to lunch, for there is no school lunch today. I am hoping maybe I will be allowed to go home early after lunch without taking time off, since there is nothing to do today. Crossing my fingers!
More updates later,
