Summer Vacation Countdown: 5
Other than the fact that it rained like crazy today, the day went well. At school, found out who the 8th grade representive was for the English competition next month. The story we're using is a famous children's story called Daruma-chan to Tengu-chan (Little Daruma and Little Tengu). The whole premise of this story is that the word hana means both flower and nose. Anyhow Sawada's pronunciation is all that great. She was the only one who volunteered for the competition. I made her a tape of me reading the story two different ways. The first being really slow and the second, normal speed. I feel more confident with the 7th graders that we chose. But it should be a good experience nonetheless.
Takeuchi sensei and I talked bout this and afterwards he asked me what my summer schedule was like. He invited me to go with his family for a week back to his hometown in Tojigi Prefecture. It takes about 6-7 hours by car. It's a place where you can ski in the summertime! It just so happens that it slightly conflicts with my trip to Nasu with my friends. But we'll see...I'm gonna try work something out. I really don't think I'll have an opportunity to go to Tojigi ever again.
For all of you who don't know what Takahashi sensei looks like (which is probably everybody except my parents), I took this pic of him.
Well...I'm off to bed.
