Out Drawing
I had a day off today, but I went in anyway. I do that a lot. It's because I really enjoy being at work. But I also dislike being in my house. So it works.
I attended tｗo 3rd year classes on today, their last day. We did a few fun activities, including a relay story creating game. I give them a starter sentence, and the students race up to the board to make a story, sentence by sentence. The starter sentence today was "Mr. Macho wants to go to a concert."
"Mr. Macho want's to go to a concert. He buys two tickets. He asks a girl out to the concert. The girl says yes. But the girl brings her other boyfriend instead. Macho stands alone with a sad smile."
"Macho wants to go to a concert. He enjoys the concert very much. He wants to get on stage. He climbs onto the stage. But people can't see the concert because his head is too shine." (students make fun of him for his balding head)
As I read them to the class after the activity to assess points, I'm cracking up, which makes the students laugh. It's overall such a positive environment...
Anyway, I left work early because I didn't really have to be there. I went to the gym to work out my abdominals and my shoulders. Then I rode my bike to the Nagara River and drew the bridge there for a couple of hours.
I'm very bad at drawing architecture, so I'm practicing.
Here's the actual picture.
Yuck, when they're posted side-by-side it looks terrible...oh well, failure breeds success.
Next month, I'm joining a badminton club at my gym, as well as attending a monthly cooking class. I can't stand being so lonely all the time, so hopefully I'll be able to meet some people there.
Maybe the reason I'm not meeting anyone is because I'm listening to the soundtrack for a 12 year old Game Boy Color game right now.
I think I'm going to play a little Star Craft before I buckle down and study for the night. See you.
