The wind and rain were pretty heavy today, but through some miracle I was able to get to work and back without getting wet. My day went pretty well at work – the kids were in a pretty good mood today. <\/p>\n
My “student of the day” was Yuki, a girl in my third class. She sits next to her friend who I predict will grow up to be a gossip-rap columnist. Yuki herself is a sweet girl that is afraid to speak out loud for fear of making a mistake. She does a great job, and she’s showing signs of coming out of her shell. Today she came in early, and she tried to talk to me a little bit when there were no other students around. I think she is a student that would benefit from one-on-one tutoring, but that tends to be expensive. Anyway, today she tried hard and I was proud of her. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Yusuke sat across from her and made burping noises most of the class. <\/p>\n
I got home before Kuniko tonight, so I made up a simple\/healthy dinner of rice and pickled vegetables (from Kyoto). My favorite was the pickled daikon radish marinated with a basil leaves. Kuniko and I washed it down with a beer and watched the Hanshin Tigers lose a close one to the Hiroshima Carp. <\/p>\n
Tomorrow I’m going to meet up with Komori sensei after work. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him last, so I’m looking forward to having a beer or two and catching up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
