Boomerang

This morning I went running for the third time in a row, and I think I’ve found my limit. It was harder going this time, and I think I’ll take tomorrow off. Running three times a week seems like a reasonable goal to me.

At school I had just two classes, both in the afternoon, so my morning was free. I spent about half the time preparing for the two classes, since they are new lessons and I wanted them to go smoothly.

The history teacher made four visits in the morning to chat with me, and during one of the visits he told me about how he watched an Eddie Murphy movie last night called Boomerang. He was very excited because he was able to pick up some new moves on picking up women. He seemed eager to try them out. I didn’t have the heart to tell him that it was just a movie, and he was really pumped up. It was a scary thing.

My afternoon classes went really well, mainly thanks to my English teachers helping me. We worked together and the time flew by. The students are working on giving and receiving directions in English, and I think I’ve got them to the point where if you say go left they will go left with only the slightest hesitation.

After school I went over to Azusa’s for a lesson, and then after that went to try out a sushi restaurant near my house. Unfortunately, they were closed on Wednesdays. Instead I headed over to a new ramen restaurant, and it turned out that they were closed Wednesdays too. I ended up back at the yakitori, and the master was busy in there. We talked for just a bit, and he customized his regular yakisoba with some extra kimchee sauce. He knows that I like it spicy.

I’m back home now and getting ready to hit the sack. I’m looking forward to the weekend – I’m getting new glasses, and also going to a sake tasting on Sunday night.
