Sure, I could have gone with the oft-neglected gimmick I was employing of naming entries after songs, but I don't particularly care much for Alice Cooper. And everyone always sings that damn song when school ends. It's annoying. Today was my final day of teaching at Koigakubo Junior High School #1. March is the end of the school year.

The tall kid in the middle, behind the group in the front, beat me in an armwrestling match at lunch. I stood no chance.

This kid was very nice. He tried hard, and asked lots of questions. I gave him a Canadian penny as a present, and told him not to tell anyone.

Some of these girls were in an earlier picture. They ran up to me in the hallway and asked for more pictures.

That big canister on the floor is full of Kerosine. They use it for the heaters.

The girl on the left has all kinds of Nightmare Before Christmas paraphernalia. Pens, paper, notebook things. Once she gave me an apple pie she made in cooking class. The girl on the right has a twin sister.

Second Year Students 2

The kid on the right loves Final Fantasy. His favourite is #6, which is the best one. He is smart.

Second Year Students 3

The kid on the ground is a troublemaker. He tried to jump on someone and got knocked down. Very blurry.

These girls asked me to be in the picture with them. I am wearing a tie, but it's hard to see. I am unable to tie a tie skillfully, so I got a friend to do three of them for me, and I haven't untied them in 4 months. Surprisingly, they are fine. Probably because they cost $4 each and are made of a simple fabric. The girl on the right is Emi, she has been very nice to me since the day I started. She has toys of R2D2 and Luke Skywalker on her pencil case.
