Crazy

Today I had my lesson in the morning as usual. I gave Kanashima-san my JR Rail Pass and my passport to get them activated. We are leaving on the 27th March and the man from the travel agents has done us a schedule, complete with different overnight trains that we can take. That should save us money on staying places, which is cool, though there are still a few little bits that we need to sort out. Well, I say we, though it is more James that is doing all the hard work, and I am just tagging along. I feel a little bad about it and I hope that he does not mind. I am not going to get in his way, though. If he wants to go somewhere, then we will go there!

I taught Linden Hall in the afternoon with Brendan. It was quite a fun lesson, which went by quite quickly. We did describing things again, with us doing it in the first instance and then getting them to do it for the second part. We also punished them for speaking Japanese: taking points off them, nothing too drastic! At the end of the class we made them all line up quietly by the door before they were allowed to go to the gym. That was fun! I think it might be worrying how much I like the control. Oh, well.

I have not done anything much this evening. I sat with Big Bird (her name is Oh, really) at dinner as there was nobody else around, and I fancied practicing my Japanese. She is totally crazy and strange. The brilliant thing is that she says that she does not think she is strange. She is hard to talk to because of her weirdness. She asked “why?” when I said that I had never been to America. There is no reason I have not been, it is just a plain fact!
