Day 125 (Osaka) : Summer vacation begins

This school is really laid back. A few of the students planned their flight home for the middle of the school day so they disappeared during the lunch break. I figure with the schedule being handed out months in advance that the students could get a flight after 3:00pm. It's not like our school is open late or that flights in the evening would be hard to come by. Speaking of flights I still have to make plans for my own trip back to the States in December. It's hard to figure out which end is up on the other side of the world though so making any steady plans has been pretty difficult.

The summer break is looking like it will go by pretty quick already. I have a stack of homework assignments that our homeroom teacher handed out and a "recommendation" to review every chapter and kanji we've covered since April for a comprehensive test after the break. That's a pretty tall order. Covering all the material we went over during the last four months in there weeks will keep me pretty busy. Oh, there is also a rumor that Obama might be visiting Hiroshima for the memorial service but I'm kind of doubting it. It would be hella interesting to meet the most powerful man in the world in some off chance that he does show up though.
