Gloomy Golden Week and Habitats

We can only hope the weather turns around.  It is freezing. It's raining and I haven't seen the sun for days.  I am wrapping up work early today and going home for a nap.  I don't know if it's the weather, my mood, or I really do have a cold.  But as there are no lessons today, I'm going to rest up a little.

I did go and see Kai walk the runway at the Sapporo Collection Saturday night.  It's not my habitat at all, but that's not the point.  He wore three different outfits and since it is still the animal topic this month here is the question.

What animal hat did he wear?
hint: It is black and white, looks like a small horse, and lives in Africa. It's habitat is the Savanna.



The answer next time...

Habitatily,

Pat

Spring

Spring has rolled around finally.  The new school year has seen many changes to the classes that were together last year.  I'm hoping the classes will gel quickly and we can start learning at an optimal pace as soon as possible.

Golden Week is coming up! I hope the weather holds and we are able to enjoy some cherry blossom viewing.  I will be going to Hakodate.  Whatever the weather, I'll post some pictures of Goryokaku Park.  I'll also be going to the Sapporo Collection Fashion Show.  I can't say that I am looking forward to it.  I am far too nervous watching my son walk to enjoy anything.  I keep thinking he is going to trip and fall.  It's funny, but that expression was my 8:00 lesson 'target structure' last night.

I was too __________ to do something.

I was too tired to brush my teeth.  Or...  I was too angry to be polite.

Nervously,

Pat

Happy New Year

Lessons start up after Coming of Age Day on the 15th.  I am really looking forward to getting things rolling this year.  Anyone with Eiken aspirations, Good Luck at the end of the month.  I hope you all do well.  If you need an extra lesson or some advice, tell me and I will make a Saturday lesson.  Friday might be OK too.

Let's have a wonderful 2013!

Halloween Week

Halloween is next week Wednesday. Celebrating Halloween at Eikaiwa class has always been popular and even more so lately.  Today was the second day of Halloween Week.  The kids really took to the costumes.  I was a little surprised at just how much.  One boy asked if he could take it home!  When I refused, he asked again, "How about just the hat?"  I was tempted to give it to him...   BUT there are four more days of Halloween ahead!!!

Hallowedly,

Bohemian Rhapsody

Ok, Ok THIS is the last one... I promise!

OK.  Here it is; the real last video.  Who are these characters?   I do know Doraemon...

Finally,

Pat

Yet Another

This may be the last video of this series. These guys are just too good to be true.  They did all the filming and prep.   I just chopped the video together.

 I love my job.

Lovingly,

Patrick
