Japanese Class

(I'm going backwards. This is fifth period, math is 6th.. wait, so it's in the right order, because newest entries go to the top.. huh..)

In Japanese class today, the first thing that was said to me is "Girls on the right, boys on the left". Tashibu sensei, since her strong annoyance with the guys yesterday, has been plotting, it seems. So, she's finding a new way to make the guys stop talking and making scenes during class.

"Anywhere?" She says yes. I get all happy, because I get to sit near Mayre. I sit in the front desk, the second from the door, and Mayre sits to my right. Tashibu sensei was lecturing us all yesterday. Yes, she is a bit sexist. I noticed. But it is true, that most of the guys are talking all the time and the girls are mostly smart ones... So she was venting about how the guys are immature and that they need to get their act together. So today she changed the seating.

She had it so we were basically two teams. There are a lot more guys than girls, but whatever. The girls take up two rows, the guys take up three. There are about six seats per row. I'm fine with it this way, I don't like any of the guys. Well, I don't like any guys.. at all. Not one. So I guess I can't say anything.

She said that if she had to say Lee's name three times, all the boys lose a point. Unfair, I know. But it made Lee shut up, a little. I dislike the competition between two groups, it makes me more stressed and unwilling to volunteer to answer a question. Because she's taking points, now. I'm not sure if she actually records points in any way, because I swear that she erases them and forgets, from the whiteboard. But maybe she keeps in mind how each 'team' did.

Japanese cheers me up, somehow. I guess language classes keep me awake, unlike the rest.
