So, we just had Christmas. What did I do to celebrate Christmas? Of course, I was at work all day. Because so many classes had been cancelled due to the typhoon in the summer, and the 3 weeks of influenza vacation, they added a bunch of extra classes in winter "vacation." Apparently if they didn't add the classes, the kids wouldn't have enough class time to graduate.

But I didn't even have any classes to teach. On the 25th, my guitar club also put on a Christmas concert, together with the brass band and the baton club. So I had to organize all the games and stuff, make the programs, set up the mixing board and all that stuff, as well as practice my parts for the 4 songs I was in this time. So I was completely busy all the time up to the 25th.

As for the concert itself. I'd say it mostly went okay. I actually had to sing a song this time, Evergreen, in Japanese. I forgot some of the words but everyone seemed to think I was good. Nonetheless, I was horribly embarrassed and will probably never sing in front of people again. I mean, what are you supposed to do with your hands? I was just standing there swinging them around. I had to concentrate to remember the lyrics and sing in tune, so I didn't have enough mental power left over to get excited or move around, or even make eye contact with the crowd. Overall, a lot of people came and the room was full, and everyone had a good time apparently. Here's our set list.

Butterfly - Ellegarden
Evergreen - Straightener
After Dark - Asian Kung-Fu Generation
Love Addict - Vamps
Rolling Star - YUI
本日ハ晴天ナリ - Do As Infinity
有心論 - radwimps
Love Addict - Vamps
赤橙 - Acidman
君の知らない物語 - supercell
Don't say "lazy" - Cagayake! girls
少女S - Scandal

Those nerds or otaku among you will notice that most of these songs are from various recent anime. This is due to the fact that the members are mostly girls, and not even the cool punk kind so much. Some of them are like 17 years old and still listening to boy bands, Johnnies Entertainment and the like. I've tried my best but it seems that there's nothing I can do to cure them of it. But there's a few good songs in there anyway.
