Another sunny day, and hot.
08:30 Watch CM in first period English.
09:20 Matsuo-sensei gives me two o-chawan.
09:20 Nagai-sensei gives me hiragana shodo paper and shodo supplies including a menso fude and a copy book. Tsutsumi-sensei discusses giving me tea ceremony supplies, maybe when we meet in Austin. He studies tea ceremony.
10:30 I don't have to team teach with Murakami-sensei so Rachel and I escape. Watch the video I took in Oita last Saturday and the kindergarten kids yesterday.
12:07 Rachel and I go to Hori Bung and each buy a washi portfolio.
12:37 Buy lunch at Toyomi. Return to my house and eat lunch and watch the Lost Boys.
14:00 Return to school. Cleaning going on. So we sit and talk about Catholism, sex and boys until she has to leave to catch the school bus.
17:15 Tutor Yoshiko and Miho for the last time. Emiko comes to say goodbye, although she talks mostly about finding a new teacher. Miho gives me a gift of washi, and Yoshiko gives me a blue furoshiki.
18:00 Tape Tonari no Totoro for Rachel and practice my writing in the kanji copy book that Nagai-sensei gave me.
21:00 Repack some boxes.
23:45 Take bath in apartment onsen.
