Down on the 4th
...and how's the weather everyone?
It's rainy!
I'm starting to forget what the sun looks like. Maybe that's what's getting me down, or maybe it's the other way around. Not that this is any different from what I endured for 4 years attending school in the northwest, but I had a lot more to occupy my time and mind then. The only plus side of Monsoon season is it keeps the temperature at a tolerable level.
I was reminded the other day that today is Independence Day. But then that just made me think of the accident I got into last 4th of July. What an awful day. The year before that I spent the 4th on a beach in Japan, blowing up fireworks over the water and eating BBQ with the other students. It was raining that day too, but it didn't keep us from enjoying the party. Fun day. No plans this year seeing as any sound louder than a whistle will set the neighborhood mob after us.
My students are busy taking their final exams at present which is why I'm here updating. I've had very little desk time to myself past few months, believe it or not... I do work on the occasion :P After lunch I'm off to my mountain elementary school for their Tanabata Party. Tanabata is a big summer holiday in Japan, and even though it has nothing to do with English they all requested a party. So as it turns out I'll be celebrating a Japanese holiday for my English class today instead of Independence Day. Which is fine with me. I still get fireworks.
In any case, Happy 4th of July.
