Mandolin club today definitely revived my spirits. After practice, I stayed for 2 hours talking to 3 people in the club about Japanese characters and our favorite bands and American bathrooms and other various things. It made me happy. ALSO I may have written about this before but I'm really excited about a concert we're doing next July... it's on the national level, and in Osaka!
Point of concern: I feel that there is no way my school can get through the winter without catching on fire or hosting some terrible accident involving students getting burned. The school is heated by stoves that the students pour gallons of oil into every morning. The whole thing gets really hot and is right in the main walking path of the classroom. And of course, teenagers can't resist experimenting... Is this part hot? Ouch! Yes, that metal part directly over the flames is hot. Some hideous accident just seems inevitable. But they are nice because it makes a natural gathering point for everyone and I end up getting to get to know more people that way [and I'm not freezing all the time.]
That's all for now. I'm sleepy, and I have mandolin tomorrow morning.
