Past few days I've been just trying to get back into the groove of teaching.    Summer break seemed so long.   Teaching last year seems like a distant memory almost.  But all in all it has been going smooth.   I feel a lot more comfortable than I have while living here though.  So comfortable infact that I it's so hard to get up in the morning.
     Last Friday I went to cut/harvest rice crop with the 4th and 5th grade classes at Kawaharago ES.  Good stuff.  I knew that it was going to happen at one point or another.  We only cleared out a small field.  So it wasn't too hard to do.    
  Otherwise most schools are getting ready for their undoukais.  I have been to a bunch in the past two years and am not really looking going to any this year, but it looks like I might be going to a few in the next few weeks.
