Cloudy, then rainy and finally snowy. Bah!
I got up at a reasonable time this morning because my phone was ringing. One of my students phoned to tell me she got my email. She could have just emailed me back.
I had a busy but quiet morning after that. Not busy in the housework type of thing, just busy on my computer. Hey, it counts! I showered early, got some things ready for work, and at 1:00 started to cook my brunch.
When I rode off to work it was a bit grey outside, but not raining. I made good time to my school and I parked and went in. I did a few cleaning things. The dust bunnies seem to multiply over the weekend. I changed and got ready for my class.
Our class was good, but we didn't quite finish what I hoped. Still, I think we did enough. After class we chatted a bit on why Japanese Junior High School students don't like English. I have a few ideas about that, but was nice to my student!
I had a 3 hour break in between my classes today. I thought about just staying put, but decided to go out. Not a great idea. When I went out I discovered that it was now raining. I bicycled off to a drugstore that I never go to. While I was there I got a few things for me, including some non caffeine tea. I was happy to see that. When I came back to the school it was starting to snow.
I dried my clothes on the heater rack and read my newspaper and drank my tea. It was nice to be inside again.
My last class went well. We talked about all kinds of things and I think the student learned a few new usages of words and phrases. I hope so anyway!
After class I finished up early and called Fumihiko. He came to pick me up and I was surprised to see that there was quite a bit of snow outside. It wasn't really staying on the ground, but there was quite a bit on the car.
We came home and I immediately started making dinner. I had a lot of veggies to prepare, but did them as fast as I could. I got Fumihiko to drain the tofu for me, but I could tell he was going to get in my way, so I scooted him off to the couch for a bit. Finally, I was ready to start cooking. My stirfry turned out rather nicely. It's the first time in a long time that I prepped all the veggies myself. I didn't use any prepackaged veggies, except for bean sprouts. They came in a bag, so what could I do? The stirfry was good and got a thumbs up from Fumihiko. He even had seconds, so yay.
Fumihiko washed the dishes and we continued watching the Ugly Betty marathon that was on. After 11, NHK ran a Eurythmics special which I watched. They are one of my favourite groups, maybe my favourite non-Canadian group, so it was fun to watch. However, most of the songs were ones that I didn't know.
Anyway, that's about it for me. I do have a class tomorrow, and it's earlier than most of my classes so I should get some sleep. I just hope that it doesn't snow tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed, eh? Night.
