hello everyone! today i stood in 3 english classes, said a few words, cleaned the school for 1.5 hours with the students, studied japanese and went home. i know, it sounds great doesn't it? it was ok. afterwards i met up with jon and we went for supper at our favorite okonomiyaki restuarant with our friend rachel. delicious! immediately after supper we went for a run and then dashed to taiko lessons. that's right folks...taiko practice is now on tuesdays from 6:30 until 10:00 and thursdays from 7:30 until 9:00. hopefully by the time jan. 18 comes we will be completely ready for our concert.

speaking of music, jon's coworker kunisawa-san gave us a great xmas mixed cd. the cover of the cd and the cd case has a picture of jon and i from his jazz concert.

well, i am off to watch some ally mcbeal and then to bed.

mata ne (see you again/later)!
