This morning Kuniko slept in a bit on her birthday, and I made lunches for us today. We made it on time to the train, despite being pretty tired from the weekend.
At school I was surprised to find that Matsunaga sensei had filled a standing order from Costco, and I had a big case of refried beans, a big block of cheddar cheese, a package of sausages, and sixteen bagels waiting for me at my desk. Score!
I had more good news, too. All of the students that I had coached to pass their high school entrance interviews had passed. They were really excited, and each and every one of them made a point to come thank me personally. I thought that was a nice touch. One of them even gave me some late Valentine’s chocolates that she made. Score!
Almost all of my classes nowadays are the last classes for each group of students. I say goodbye and good luck to them after the class, and I’m touched by their reactions. Mostly they don’t want me to go, and to tell the truth I don’t really want to go either. I know I’m going to miss these students a lot.
At the end of the day I dragged all my loot from Costco home, and then did a serious Wii workout while waiting for Kuniko to get home. We had some leftovers for dinner and some Reese’s sticks for dessert to celebrate her birthday. I was still pretty bummed about last night’s dinner fiasco, but Kuniko is completely over it. I guess that is what is important.
