The second graders were all sent home for the second half of the day today. We've got a total of five kids who've come down with the swine flu. All the teachers are really paranoid now, because it's come out that it can cause aneurysm, especially in children under 15. Soooooo....yeeeeaaaah...
Alex's farfalle (below) was AWESOME. There was lots so I took the leftovers to school for lunch and ate them smugly while the other teachers drooled. I'm so lucky. <3
I went to elementary school by myself. There's a huge hill that I challenged myself to bike all the way up. It doesn't really LOOK that steep, but it's loooooooong. And winding. I made it about half way and DIED. I was walking the rest of the way up heaving. Something to work up to, I guess.
Elementary school kids really make me feel like I don't know any Japanese. Plus, I forgot my self-intro materials, and my dictionary, AND my school slippers, so I just felt like an all around loser.
But one of the kids ran up to me and we had a conversation that went like this -
Little boy: Natalie-sensei?
Me: Hm?
Little boy: DYNAMITE!!!!
