I had a pretty quiet day today. I cranked through several readings for school, and another chapter in the textbook before getting ready for work. Then it was a pretty mellow day in the classroom. The students were all pretty tired because of the heat, but they were still able to make a little bit of effort in the classroom.
Just as I was leaving I bumped into Nozaki sensei coming home. She was also away (near Tokyo!) for a sports camp and looked exhausted. She was nice enough to bring back some souvenirs for Kuniko and me, which was very thoughtful.
I did some shopping on the way home for dinner (cold udon noodles) and just as I was about to arrive home Kuniko sent me a message and asked me to meet her at the station when her train arrived to help carry some of her luggage. I had time to cook up the noodles and get them iced down before running to the station to meet her.
She looked just as exhausted as Nozaki sensei did. This overnight camp thing looks like a real painful experience. We walked home and feasted on noodles (and leftover butakimchee) and washed them down with cold beer (Premium Malts Black) which turned out to be really good.
It has been getting even warmer lately, so the air conditioning has become a critical part of our evening. Tonight we hung out in the bedroom and stayed cool. Hard to believe that the heat is really only just getting started.
