Twice in a week? WHAT.

It's me again!

I had elementary school today. The whole morning, the whole day, I prayed. I was like, "please don't let this be a horrific disaster that ends in me feeling like I got hit by a truck."

It wasn't. Thank God.

One of the fifth grade classes has a new teacher. I'm not really sure of the details, but I think she started from winter break. About ten minutes into class I got that she had about the same feelings about the class as I did, so that made me relieved that it wasn't just me.

But again, they weren't so bad today. I ate lunch with the fifth grade class with the new teacher and sat with the kids while they played Pokemon shiritori. Shiritori is a game where you say a word and the next person has to come up with a word that starts with the last letter of the previous word. It's pretty easy unless you limit it to something. Like Pokemon.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I could contribute to the conversation...but. I knew just enough of the Pokemon names in Japanese (and enough of the ones in English that were the same both ways) that the kids were really kind of confused. It was cute.

I'm zonked, folks. I can't wait to wipe out this weekend.
