My team teacher had her (our) lesson observed by the principal and vice-principal on Friday. The students took more time than she expected, so she rushed to get through as much as she had written on the lesson plan she had submitted, which earned her some complaints from the students afterward. Yet another reason why I think detailed (minute-by-minute) lesson plans are silly.
On Saturday I attended the Minna no Salon, which was about Korean culture. In particular, they taught us how to make what in Japan is called chijimi, or Korean-style okonomiyaki. (It is commonly translated as "pancake," but that's in the same sense that a potato pancake is a "pancake.") Our instructor told us that the term chijimi is really a word from the southern dialect in Korea, and most people there call it puchimge instead, but that's harder for Japanese people to pronounce so it didn't catch on here.
( THIS would get me to eat my vegetables any day... )
My seniors only have 1 1/2 more days of classes before their exams start. Thus, for their last class on Tuesday, I promised I'd bring prizes for those who turned in notebooks to me. I will be bringing a mix of Michigan merchandise, crocheted items, and baked goods. That means, however, that I actually have to make the baked goods. I went crazy shopping on Saturday, and today I started by making about 2 1/2 dozen mini-size strawberry muffins and six tart-size pumpkin pies. I'm hoping to make angelfood cupcakes and banana bread tomorrow.
I also bought another five-gallon jug of kerosene as my backup supply, now that I have a chest to put it in. However, as I was carrying it up the steps to my apartment, I tilted it. Little did I know that the cap isn't watertight. Kerosene leaked out all over my jeans. X_X I'll have to air them out on the balcony, if it's sunny tomorrow.
