'Tis the Season...

Yeah, 'tis the season for big bugs... fa la la la la, la la, la, la.... EW! There are dragon flies, HUGE spiders, praying mantises, and whatever the heck is in this picture all over the place. It's so nasty and I'm afraid the dragon flies are going to hit me! GROSS!


This picture will probably only make sense to Jessica. :) My student, Marina, drew it on my hand during the lesson~ I am glad she knows about Nerdfighting!!!!!


These are the cute tomatoes I was talking about!!!! They look like strawberries! Or hearts! Awwww!~


I went to Sendai today to extend my Visa (hope that goes through...!!!) and had some extra time before my train so, on my way to the station I saw this park and thought I'd venture on in. Check out my awesome picture taking ability! There was a bike AND a person in this picture, but I used the trees to hide them! Go me! :D


And I went further into the park and there was a fountain!! It's been awhile since I heard fountain water! It was really nice and relaxing, not to mention the weather was PERFECT.

So yeah! Pretty good day, oh! And I got off earlier today and had time to eat dinner at my favorite restaurant, Yuuki! I went alone cuz I couldn't find anyone to go with, but I think I might like it better that way. I wrote some bits of my book out while I waited for my favorite meal, and then had a marvelous dinner~ I should get pictures with the owners before I leave. They love me! :D

It's getting weirder as the days go by and I realize that I am teaching some of my last classes with my favorite students. :( I keep playing that song from The Sound of Music: I have confidence in me, and can't believe I was so nervous. I am going to miss my students ssooo much!!!

Great photos as always!!! Except I can't seem to see any bugs in the first photo; only what might be a squished bug, eh? :-)

Amazing tomatoes! Beautiful park! Beautiful portrait of my dottah! :-)

Yes, many mixed emotions as your time there comes to a close. The bottom line is - YOU DID IT!!! You were successful! It will be a good foundation for whatever you choose to do in the future. YAY!!!

Love,
