Thursday I&#8217;ll download the Lost finale, and then I&#8217;ll be free of TV for the summer.  <\/p>\n<p>At school today I had kind of a weird schedule because some students were on a field trip with their classmates.  I had the youngest students today, and we colored and learned shapes during our lesson.  We did a little bit of singing and dancing and played a few games, and then the class was over.

Next time if I see him I&#8217;ll stop and check it out&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Kuniko had gotten home early today.  Her schedule had allowed her to leave in the early afternoon.  She had done lots of cooking and when I got home I was able to enjoy a shabushabu salad, some spicy rice, and some manju and cookies for dessert.
