5 things I am thankful for - 270209

I read in another blog about this gratitude journal of sorts which sounds like a good and quick way to reflect about the day. Here it is, for today:

- today, kyoto-sensei asked me to try a mochi that is wrapped in a sakura/cherry blossom leaf. it tastes strangely salty
- today, HROK-sensei talked at length with me about some English material we were both reading
- today, everyone in the staff room got this corporate gift from the PTA except me. KSMR-sensei gave me hers, saying, "Oh it is the same as the one we got last year." She's always so kind to me
- today, snow (or rather ice pellets) once again descended in my town. I first heard of it from HROK-sensei during noon, to which I exclaimed, "So what are we waiting for? Let's go home and enjoy!"
- today, my only class (with 2-1) was an absolute breeze as they were active and attentive

There was such a strong rain yesterday that my new umbrella was blown to bits and just 10 minutes ago I experienced earthquake #3! The magnitude was 3.
