Nice second-to-last day at the high schoo; Rin and Hiro asked me to get a picture with them, so I guess I must have helped them a bit!

They drew some pics of ラーメンマン, a character from China with a long moustache and 中 written on his forhead, which is short for "China"

Then went to work on CB website, and made a couple of changes which Satomi needed to upload images (basically changed a hidden field to text so she could fill it without using javascript).

Got to play with a new toy at the toy store, basically a small jigsaw puzzle shaped like sections of keys on a keyboard. Kinda like pentominoes, but with varying number of tiles per piece and more pieces overall. Couldn't solve it in the time I had available.

Lesson with Mutsumi was great; he's using more expansive sentences than before, and more often uses correct English structure (SVO) instead of (OV)

Lesson with Mutsumi was also great; I helped her understand some phrases with the word "leave" and finished with "let's leave it at that," which she can almost certainly use at each of our lessons because I usually go late talking to her.

I haven't posted a maze on amazeaweek yet today; I can tell I've been losing steam recently (past few months), so a nice boost would be nice. I drew a maze on the chalkboard at the high school this morning and photographed it, so I can upload that when I get home from Mutsumi's lesson.

Then tomorrow wake up early (as usual, at 5am, do laundry, study Japanese vocab, hang laundry) and head to last day at the high school, then probably sleep somewhere, then wish I had worked on studying my student's names over the past two weeks after I met them two weeks ago dang.
