Wednesday is always busy, and today was no exception. I encouraged my second year students in Matsubara sensei’s class to work hard on their presentation. I practiced for the STEP test with the third years, and then I had two really good classes. The first was with Maeda sensei’s class. They are alwasy into whatever I do, and they listen carefully and are eager to react to what I do. It’s one of the few classes where I can look at all of the students and see them all looking back at me, instead of sleeping or chatting with a neighbor. In high school, that’s pretty rare.
After my classes I practiced for the speech contest with a couple of my students. I studied for just a little while, and then it was time to go home. I guess the nice thing about having lots of classes is that time just flies by.
Kuniko got home relatively early (for her) and cooked up a vegetable stir fry that was delicious. She put in carrots, bean sprouts, eggplant, onions, garlic, and green peppers. Then at the last minute she added tofu and sizzled it all up with some Chinese sauce. It was so good – we thought we’d have leftovers but in the end we ate the whole thing.
The Hanshin Tigers were playing baseball on TV, and I watched just a bit of that. They are almost ready to clinch the division. Komori sensei promised that he’d host a sushi party the night after they clinch – it could be as soon as this week. That is something to look forward to – it’s been a long time since we’ve met up with Mr. Komori.
It’s not even nine o’clock and I’m already thinking about heading towards the bedroom. Tomorrow should be a comparatively easier day. Only two classes!
