Wed July 18

Standard

Today was a very fun day! In school we had A math test, Health, World History, and English (in which we got our Vocabulary Test back we had taken last week — I got an 85 which is a drastic improvement from my other Vocab Tests and I think it’s pretty good, given most of the points I missed were related to specific English-Japanese translations I didn’t have the vocabulary to answer.)

Anyway, after that we had two periods of Computer, but since the teacher wasn’t there (there are no substitute teachers here) we had some in-class homework which no one really did. After that, we had Japanese and then cleaning.

Anyway, after that, I went to my old Host Family’s house, where I learnt how to make both veggie Tenpura and Sweet Tenpura Desert (it is honestly so easy to make! Amma, when I come back get ready for some frying! (Although I heard from my actual Host Family that it is not the making that is hard, but the cleanup afterwards, which I did not get to participate in Today. Anyway, I also made them Pulyodre, which they loved (though I feel the powder is much tastier than the paste.). Anyway, then I taught the grandchildren English and then went with one of my Host Sister’s family to eat ice cream — this time I tried Okinawan Salt Cookies, which was very good (it was sweet not salty.). Then I came back and now I should really go to sleep. I had really wanted to learn crocheting from Okaasan (actually a slightly different form of knitting, not crocheting) and play Go! with Otousan (he suggested it today, but we did not have time. However, their board is huge — 19×19, whereas I have only played on 13×13 or 9×9. Oh well, anyway I will probably go back on Sunday for all those things.

Okay, it is late, so goodnight!
