This morning was another grey day in scenic Nisshin. My first class seemed to fly by and I was actually able to understand the majority of my sensei's directions. It has really helped to listen to Japanese so often already I can tell that my listening comprehension has improved. After lunch with Kim ( she is sick this week but I hope she will get better before the festival in Ozu this weekend), I went and volunteered with a neighboring university campus as an English tutor. The two boys that I got partnered with were a bit shy at first but they eventually warmed up. Shota didn't understand as much English as Fumi but they both tried their best to talk to me. I really enjoyed the time and hope to go back again soon. I had my afternoon class at 3 and after wards went to watch the softball team. Due to a slight miscommunication, we couldn't really use the field but I got to see the rugby team play for a little bit. Eventually after some compromise we got to play a little catch before we called it a night. I found out that apparently I throw better with my left arm than my right even though I'm right handed. It was fun to talk to some of the softball team and get a bit of exercise. We also got to see the rising harvest moon which was bright blood red. Tomorrow there is a kanji test, but I get to learn about Kabuki ( Japanese theater) and my sempai (older student/acquaintance) is taking me to Sakae for karaoke. I have never been to Karaoke so I'm really looking forward to it.
