It was cloudy all day today with a lot of moisture in the air. Sometimes this makes doing laundry tough – towels can take all day long to dry out on the rack. Today was one of those days. Bleah.
At school today I had three classes, and everything went pretty smoothly. In my last class it has three boys and three girls, and they are always competitive with each other. I did a lesson that exploited that into a kind of like a game show atmosphere, and asked lots of questions. They did really well, and after almost 40 minutes of asking them non-stop questions in English we played a game of cards at the end. These students really enjoy card games, and it provides a welcome break from bingo (for me, too).
Kuniko was working overtime tonight, so I went ahead and ate before she got home, and then had her dinner ready when she arrived. She had requested a healthy dinner of nato, shiso leaves, and tofu with green onions. I ate grocery store yakitori. That’s a big swing in calories.
I received a mail from my grad school saying that I am officially signed up for the two courses that I wanted, and that means that I need to buy textbooks. It’s been a while since I bought textbooks – I forgot how expensive they are. Rather than buying from the school bookstore in Australian dollars I used Amazon textbooks and found things much cheaper. They will soon by on their way to Japan, and I should be ready to go when the term starts at the end of the month.
