So today when I got to school Nohmi sensei hands me a note written in Japanese and says that Kakio sensei (who I have ni nen sei class with on Thursdays) won’t be at school today. So I was unhappy because I really like those classes and assumed that she would eventually tell me they were cancelled. As it turns out the note was instructions about what I was supposed to do for the class, alone. Well, technically I wasn’t alone the whole time, because the homeroom teachers from each of those classes showed up at the beginning and end to unlock and relock the classroom door, and copy the note onto the board so the students could read it. The classes went fine though, mostly because we just worked on pen pal letters which gave them something to do but also let them get up and talk to each other. Anyway, I read a lot of first drafts, and here are some of the funnier revisions I made (there’s is in black, mine is in red):
I want the letter to you receiving.
- I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
I am a cheer character. What are you character?
- I am a cheerful person. What are you like?
Please don’t spend your body all at one time.
- I hope you stay healthy.
How many minutes are you making? I make thirty minutes.
- Please show this to Kakio sensei (I only said this to him, but he wrote it down at the end of his letter anyway)

I got stuck in a ditch tonight in my car. It sucked.
I really did get stuck in a ditch and had to wait for the tow truck. My presentation was over when I arrived. It did suck
Ok those letters are funny.

Ryan…you need help. The next thing you’ll be doing is asking if the trees in Japan lose their leaves in the Fall.
