A day at the BOE

Today, I was at the BOE. When I’m there, I sit in a conference room with no internet. So I always have to remember to bring enough to do for the day. Today I brought along my Japanese books, a book for practicing kanji and The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. I was finished with my flashcards (Anki flashcard app), textbook and kanji practice in just a couple of hours. The remainder of my day was spent reading in Japanese. It was great fun. I almost finished two and a half chapters!

今日教育委員会にいた。教育委員会の日に会議室はインターネットがないから、たくさんすること持って来る。今日日本語の教科書と漢字の練習の本とライオンと魔女の小説が持って来た。二時間にフラッシュカードの練習(Ankiと言うのアプリ)と教科書と漢字練習が終わった。その後もう5時間があった!日本語で読んだ。楽しかった。2章半ぐらいができた!

The best thing about BOE days is that I have an hour lunch break that is truly free (not eating school lunch). So, today I made plans with a friend to eat lunch together. We went out to a cute café in town.

教育委員会の日に一番楽しいことは昼休みはひま。今日友達と昼食を食べた。カフェへ行った。

Here we are. I’m not so good at self-portraits. This picture is the third try.
