Yay!! It's Friday! Tonight we are off to Aki city to stay with our friend Anisette. A fellow Canadian. On Saturday, we are going to wake up really early to stand in line for tickets to the pre-season, Hanshin Tiger Baseball game. There are only 1000 tickets left and people love this team. It may be hard to get so wish us luck!

Then on Saturday night, it is off to see a DJ. The party starts at midnight and goes until 4 a.m. It will be a blast! Only 2 more minutes left of work. I have been counting down the time all day.

Today I had English class with three handicapped elementary students. One student was very boisterous, another couldn't talk and the third was a cute softspoken girl. It was a bit difficult. When I first entered the room, Hiro-kun saw me, yelled "Nanshi-san", jumped up and started running around the room screaming. After about 3 minutes of this he came and sat down only to say "Nanshi Kowai" which means Nancy is scarey. Off to a great start. I couldn't think of some really simple action songs that they would be to do. Tomo-kun kindof ran the show. He liked to be incharge and would periodically make everyone stop what they were doing even if it was in the middle of a song or an activity. Then we all had to listen to him scream, talk, or sing. "one, ni, san, ka, ki, ku, nnnaaaaaa" At which point we would all congratulate his performance. Sometimes he would allow us to continue, othertimes he would give us an encore. I think I did ok all factors considered.
