I like it raw, but I like things refined.

That has so got to be my favorite own-quote. Today I had one of them rare experiences where you actually learn something from your students. They taught me the word 奥ゆかしい (okuyukashii), which means to be elegant and modest (or refined). They described this middle-aged lady who looked it and I guarantee you... she does look it. That's gonna be MY word for my lifelong aim of aging gracefully.

I am super glad the storytelling unit is DONE AND OVER WITH!!! You'd be surprised at how many of them I would nominate for the "World's Most Boring ZZZzzzZZZzzz Story." Day in, day out, I hear stories where NOTHING HAPPENS!!!

- I went to Disneyland. It was crowd. I don't like many people. I bought a Pooh-san pencil. It is so cute. I was happy. Finish.

I don't understand why they don't understand the whole concept of STORIES. Have their lives been extremely monotonous to the extent that they DO NOT HAVE ANY stories? Yawn...
