The Useless Room
Well, it's spring break now, so Keith, Nathanial and I are spending our time in the BOE. This gives us a chance to do a lot of talking as well as prepare for the coming school year.
We also make lots of jokes. Today, Nathanial was talking about the 多目的室 (multi-purpose room) in Ariake Elementary. He said that it's virtually empty, except for a blackboard and a few chairs stacked against the back wall. Since the room doesn't seem to be so "multi-purpose," I proposed that they replace the "多" ("many") with "無" ("nothing; none"). I was just trying to make a joke, but when I looked it up, I discovered that "無目的" is indeed a word! I was both amused and pleasantly surprised.
This Wednesday (March 28th), I'll take my first trip since visiting home last summer! I'm going to go to Fukui and visit Akari and Yuki. I think I need a bit of a break, and I'm looking forward to meeting two of my exchange student friends.
Today's Kagoshima word:
ノンカタ(nonkata)-->飲み会(nomikai)-->Drinking party
