Thursday we had a typhoon warning, but it wasn’t such a bad one. It passed to the south of us, so the most we got Thursday night and Friday morning was strong gusts of wind.
Friday I had a relatively light study day at home. I stayed inside while the winds blew outside, occasionally watching people walk by struggling with their umbrellas. The Mazda people came and dropped off Kuniko’s car, and it looks as good as new. In the late afternoon I packed up my gear and went to work.
I tried a new strategy with my hyper Friday kids – I decided to make the lesson much more active. We played a lot of games involving moving around, but it just seemed to rev them up even more. I don’t know why, but the girls especially get all excited during class and feel the need to either hit me or attack me. This must be one of those areas where boys are more mature. Or I bring out a violent nature in women. Who knows?
Kuniko met me at Jusco after work, and we decided to make sandwiches in an effort to get rid of stuff in the fridge that won’t last during our trip. They turned out pretty good, and I washed them down with a couple of cold beers that helped beat the heat.
We did a short shopping trip to get a present for one of Kuniko’s coworkers, then we came back, turned on the air conditioning and went to bed. Kuniko had to come up with some lesson ideas for her next study camp – she’ll be out of town again for a couple of days. It might be my big chance to go see Transformers….
