American Falcon was round again this week helping me to teach the adult class, I think I got a tiny bit possessive over them and was perhaps not hugely great at the team teaching lark. I’m not used to being on the ‘experienced’ side of team teaching. Still it’s useful to have her come and … Read More

…and a wiseman climbs it but the once.’ Finding myself to be not nearly foolish enough I decided to climb the mountain again. I did it the way that is hugely popular with sunrise seekers, start off in the evening, climb through the night and arrive on top in time for sunrise. I am not … Read More

For anyone wondering my current artshow (Natural Bloom) is going … Read More

Several things have come to mind in the past few weeks. Last week I attempted to do something which was completely different at my elementary school…role-play! I gave them pictures of different scenarios and asked them to put words that they had learned to the scenarios. They were fairly simple things, two people shaking hands, … Read More

Ok so the title was meant to be in Japanese but whenever I try to do the Japanese c’est le Francaise instead. In anycase my show opened yesterday after last weekend’s putting it up. Yesterday I felt decidedly inexperienced and generally crap about it. My Japanese teacher’s stuff is fantastic, all leaves growing over a … Read More
