And still more trash

Yeah, so sorry again about all those "trash" posts. My Internet connection at home sucks, and it's only when I get to a coffee shop that I can post with any reliability. Hence, I needed to be efficient in my posting. And besides, I couldn't remember what else I did those days. But I do pick up trash each day regardless of what else I may do, so at least it's honest.

Today too. Trash all the way.

R's home sick-- cookies to the rescue!

My girlfriend R has come down with the flu. I started feeling early on that I should do something special to care for her. I remember a day in the past when I fell ill with a strange exhaustion--as soon as I got up, I would get completely exhausted and would have to lie down again--and the girl I was with stayed by my side all day. All day! I couldn't believe she did that, and I would never expect anyone to do it again. But she did it, and it made a lasting impression. So I wanted to do something special for R. I brought her medicine, soup, and TV shows to watch. And I baked her cookies.

Volunteer teaching at Anwatin, last day

I volunteered at Anwatin Middle School for the fourth and last time today. Each day was a new shocker--I really had never seen such hellions. But at least they were consistent.

On the other hand, the few advanced students I worked with in the Japanese class were outstanding. They wanted to learn, and brought enthusiasm and humor to the table. They even made me a goodbye card, which I was not expecting at all. I never thought I'd miss Anwatin, but I'm going to miss those Japanese students at least.

Class presentation with... that guy

We're doing presentations in pairs in the Japanese class I'm taking at the university. The day pairs were assigned, guess who didn't come to class-- that guy who never comes to class. And when he does come, he isn't prepared, and when the teacher asks him a question he just stares back with a worried look on his face.

So the guy shows up for class today and... oops! looks like he needs to join some pair as a third wheel. I have to admit I wasn't actually planning on inviting him to join our pair. My partner did. Now that he did though, I don't regret it. And it feels like a good deed after all.

ONE GOOD DEED: Let the guy who nobody wants to partner with join our group.
