Just some recent thoughts, in no particular order.
When making my students' final exams, I have all the power!
It's fun to know that I won't be taking it. Hah!
Fruit might as well be another variety of candy. It's so delicious!
I've been eating mikan, or mandarin oranges like crazy these days. About 24 per week.
Beauty is one thing, but many a plain face looks beautiful when there's a smile on the lips and life in the eyes.
Interview tests have given me plenty of time to reflect on my students' faces. I've always thought the energetic kids were extra cute (they are!), but there's nothing that different in their physical makeup. What really makes them stand out is the energy that bubbles out from within.
My bed is the bomb.
It's all winterized now, which means a fuzzy-wuzzy sheet on the bottom, thick fuzzy blanket as the top 'sheet', a down comforter, and another comforter on top of that. Every night I climb into bed with my rice bag and get smothered by the weight of warmth. I love it!
I'll be home for Christmas!!!!!!
If ever my thoughts wander these days, it's to this. Only two weeks away! "What do you miss most about America?" someone asked me, and it's definitely the people. Japan is very livable, but there is no substitute for the sweet faces of people I've known all my life. Until those reunions, though, I have a lot to finish up around here!
I agree, people are more important than places. We can't wait to see you.
