Today was pretty simple day. I got up at 7 or so like normal and ate some breakfast which was alittle tastier after my day and a half fast. I studied nihongo alittle and practiced my shakuhachi by the river. Today was really fall like. The wind was blustering and the leaves falling from the trees. Finally it is getting kinda cold here. I still didn't have to wear my jacket though, soon enough I think. I walked to near the giant boat in the hill and back around to home. I'm almost done with my TEFL class probably another week or so should be all the time I need to finish it. I have to finish my unit 19 here tomorrow I think. Mainly waiting for feedback on my term paper so I know how to fix it up and continue to make it a finished product. At about four I got together with Taka and we studied nihongo for a couple of hours. My goodness is she lovely. We went over the new words I'm learning and added some new ones. I'm going to start my nihongo journal again, but on paper so I can take it to her and she will correct it. We also went over the previous lessons main point of naninani ikemasu, or dekimasu, or whatever for I can do such and such. A very simple change of the u sound to e or the ru to re or suru to dekiru. We also went over naninani nai de kudasai, or please don't ---. For example please don't cry; nakanai de kudasai. I'd learned that before but was a good refresher. Up until this last week most of it has been just refreshing my memory and practice. Now I'm starting to learn some new grammar which is exciting. Of couse I'm always learning new words too. Jya mata ne,
