Locked Out

This evening I had four classes, so it was one of my busier nights. One of the highlights was my junior high school class. A student from one of the other nights was absent, so she asked if it was OK to come to tonight’s class.

Her normal class is pretty quiet because nobody nows each other very well. Tonight’s class is really tight and they joke around and are really comfortable trying to speak English. I thought it was a good chance for her to see what other classes were like and realize that being a little less shy might help.

Between classes I got a message from Kuniko – she had locked herself out of the house by leaving her keys inside when she left in the morning. She had gotten out early today but she ended up having to kill five hours until I got off work. She went and saw “300” in the theater, and graded her student’s exams in Starbucks until it was time to come pick me up. Bad luck!
