was visited by migo san and kinoshita. we talked for a bit in the office. they invited me out to eat, so we headed out to this one restaurant near my elementary school. had some good food and we talked about all kinds of stuff.

we had sports day practice today so there wasn't any classes. tho it was only practice, our team didn't do that great. there was this one event that they did that my last year's school didn't have. it's kinda like a scavenger hunt/race. it was funny to see the students looking for a garbage can or a wheelbarrel.
for vball practice, i taught the 8th graders how to hit a-quick sets. see, it would be so hard for me to be play as a setter in japan cuz the terminology of sets are totally different. risa was puttin' some hits down, as well mami and natsumi. kinda had to do a massive rehaul of their whole approach and arm swing, but after seein' better results from it, i think they actually understood and respected me more for it. cuz i can see how maybe they might be reluctant to learn a quick set from a guy who is shorter than them. heck, i would be a little reluctant.
after school, headed out to iidabashi to have dinner w/emi, akiko and ms. shii. i haven't seen ms. shii since my sister's wedding seven years ago. we went to this little italian restaurant that was pretty good. ms. shii displayed what she learned in grad school in cali about environmental policy. i learned some interestin' things. anyhow, akiko and i barely made the last train back to funabashi.

a lax day @ school. lunch was grubbin'. had katsu donhad 2 classes and at the end of the day, we all did setup for tomorrow's big day: rakin'/levelin' the track, puttin' chalk lines down, settin' up all the tents, and just overall cleanin' up of the school.
actually had a conversation with kocho sensei (principal). besides the fact that he thought my last name was tanaka, he's a really koo guy, when i can understand whatever he's sayin'.
after the teachers' meetin', was talkin' w/fujimori sensei about the other teachers' blood types. there were some that were easy to guess, but some were totally off on what i thought. couldn't believe fujimori sensei to be b. we have the same blood lines. her father is o (same as mine), her mother is ab (same) & her older sibling is b (same again).
when i came home, got online for a bit, but then decided to take a little power nap cuz this past week totally drained me. it turned out to be a good 3 hour nap!
wellz...i'm gonna call it a night, got a big day tomorrow! go team blue!!!
