....um, yeah I wish! Just busy studying for the JLPT which is approaching way too quickly. Wish me luck! Not too much new here. Went to an anniversary party for Okuno and his wife on Saturday. On Sunday I helped a couple of French artists who were visiting Mikame for the day. Every year we have a few people come to visit and teach the students various techniques. I spent most of the day interpreting (or some approximation of) for Armelle and Claude as they gave advice to the students. Afterwards, all the paintings were collected and prizes were awarded. Too bad I got the science/math gene from my dad, rather than the artsy one from mom. :) The weather was beautiful and there were some really great submissions. It was difficult to choose a winner!
Taiko continues to be a complete rush and school is busy as ever. This weekend is the school cultural festival. This year's theme is volunteer work, charity and recycling. The kids are busy at work every day after school with preparations. The class that I'm helping is busy making candles to sell to raise money for the Nigata earthquake victims. They are really excited! One of the kids was making an 'onigiri' candle - I asked her to hold it for me! Kawaii!
Pottery class is almost over with tomorrow being the second to last class. I'll post a pic of my less than stellar works soon. So far, the first thing I ever made was my favourite - a funky dish. Beginners luck.
Here's a cheesy quote that I really like that I got in an email from Megan. Enjoy:

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WOO HOO what a ride!
