Friday:
So I went to rugby practice for the first time in a very long time. I need to reconnect with the team and show that I want to be a part of it. It is interesting how the practice is structured, Nakamura sensei does not actually come out until a certain time, maybe like one hour into the practice. Practice is held from 16:00-18:30 PM. I helped the new players figure out how to deal with kicking and field strategy. I had to leave a little earlier because I had to be in Mutsu to teach the Tanabu SHS kids about essay composition. I was a little late to Skylark Gusto, but it was still a good time with those kids. They are super smart and motivated to want to learn English. I wish I could teach at an academic school, but I am sure that the teaching would be very different. I don't foresee these sessions to be very long because it is essay composition and I would read their essays the day before and just give them the comments.
Afterward, I met up with Mike at his apartment. He was supposed to have a dinner party, but people ended up canceling. It was me, Mike and Keiko. Mike made us all heaping plates of spaghetti and his version of garlic bread! It was very delicious. I was very grateful for that. I didn't even expect that!! ^^ My plan was to just drop stuff off at Mike's apartment and meet Alex for drinks at One Love. I called Alex and he said he would meet us there. All of us ended up going to One Love and just enjoying drinks with each other. Satoko came a little bit later and then Keiko's friend came as well for as little bit. Keiko ended up driving me back to Mike's and he stayed out more to drink. I was really tired and I needed to get some sleep!
Saturday:
I actually went back to Oma on Saturday morning because I had promised to meet Norie's husband and meet their dog, Dai. He was very excited and had a lot of genki! He was going to be nudered that day and I felt kind of bad for him. I assured Norie and her husband that they had nothing to worry about. It was kind of late though, he is about 3 years old. We had poker that night at Mike's! It was also the night of the Hachinohe Halloween party.
Sunday:
I went home and just watched movies! Nothing too exciting!
