Thursday was like Friday today, because we have a holiday on Friday this week. I enjoyed teaching a couple of classes, and we did some cleanup at the end of the day. After cleanup we had the members of ESS show up for a meeting, and I still can’t believe how many there are. We had a classfull of students, all excited about working on this year’s culture festival project. This year we’ve decided on an English newspaper to pass out to students and staff. It should be really cool – everyone is looking forward to writing something of interest to them.
After school I went into Akashi to meet up with Mr. Komori at Donkey. Mr. Komori is at a new school now, and so we talked about his experiences there. He’s in charge of the flower-arranging club, which only meets twice a month and is a very easy club to work with. We drank Guinness and talked and talked, and before we knew it Kuniko showed up on her way back from work.
It had been almost a year since they had seen each other, so we caught up and told stories, showed pictures from our trip to America. Our next stop was to the sushi bar, and we watched the end of the Tigers game there over some really good sushi. We had a sashimi platter, and then moved on to nigiri sushi – so good. The guy next to me offered his congratulations on our wedding by giving us a bottle of beer – nice guy.
Komori sensei took off from there after paying the bill for sushi, and so Kuniko and I decided to go hit the donut shop for a late night donut. From there I convinced her to stay over at my place, even though she had to work the next day.
