Let It Snow

Today it is snowing. As I was driving through the mountain passages on my way to work, visibilty was low due to the snow that would continuously splatter on my windshield. People have been announcing this for about a week now, so I am glad it finally happened. Perhaps now, everyone can begin agreeing with me saying that it is cold rather than how warm the day is. If they tell any of you this, don't believe it. It is and will still be cold.

As for yesterday, I was a bit disappointed in myself that I could not run. My head was hurting. I cannot pinpoint the pain. It is more of a general pressure. It comes and goes and has been doing so for the last couple of days. However, today I will jump right back on the wagon. You should see Cristina. She is doing great. She is already doing around 6K.

As for yesterday, I went to my more distant, smaller elementary school, Kishira Shogakko, to rehearse the play we have to do rehearse in front of the big wigs on Friday and perform on Sunday. Let me tell you that the teachers are getting a real kick out of giving me many Japanese lines that I find really hard to remember. Then again, I really have not given it much effort. I will do my best and will probably shine when the time comes. (Don't I always?) Besides rehearsing at this school with 3rd - 6th grade (~10 students), I did a quick lesson with 1st and 2nd grade (~10 students) and played with them some dodgeball. It is getting really funny because I am teaching them little moves that are supposed to strike fear but usually only result in hilarity. My favorite is when they have just dodged a fast ball from the opponent and they have to get up, grab the ball, and then point to the opponent that threw the ball and glare at him or her and say, "Be careful." Anyway, I have to get going. I am still rehearsing my lines.
