School of Lock
So today we had this really awesome event at school where I got to see four different bands composed of a mixture of my students play. The first group even played the Fighting Dreamers song (The first Naruto opening that FLOW did), which was pretty cool. And I got to see the Kakashi fangirl sing--WTF I DID NOT KNOW SHE WAS IN A BAND AT ALL. She and I only ever talk about Naruto and Kakashi. XDD
Anyway after the kids finished, the band Flumpool came out and played. I had never heard of them beforehand but apparently they are somewhat popular here. My students were really excited and honestly? I was pretty psyched myself! I like music and this band wasn't all that bad. I am, however, suffering a headache now and that might have been from the REALLY LOUD music.
Apparently this will be on TV at some point. I am staying tuned for details.
This was such a GREAT experiance for the kids too. They were so happy and thrilled. It was super enjoyable. The last band of students played a song for us teachers and they dedicated it to the teacher who passed on--Ahh, I am not ashamed to admit that I shed a tear or two. It was sweet.
Ahhh, the rest of my day involved reading Out by Matsuo Kirino, which is a pretty fabulous book. I am over halfway through it, and holy CRAP. I think I've missed reading crime fiction. I am so excited to see what happens! I haven't been this excited about a book for awhile (this will CHANGE IN MAY. 8D NEW SOOKIE BOOK EEEEEE). Okay I haven't been this excited since last May haha. XD But still! I am just so interested in the characters, so vested . . . I might end up sending this book home to share with my mother, I think. It's really well written. Sometimes, Japanese authors are very, VERY good. Sometimes they are AWFUL but I think that can be said about authors in any country. It gets a little messy in parts, but you can skim them without missing anything. I will have to review it when I am finished.
I think that's about it. Maybe I'll get a shower soon, and head to bed. Graduation's on Wednesday! Weeeeeep, I will miss my third years when I am trapped with the hellions and no peace in sight.
