3/18

Today was a pretty nice day, all things considered.

The main reason for this? Things are finally getting back to normal. The media is panicking because there's nothing to report so they keep repeating the same images and information from before. I tried to volunteer to help refugees but they were turning away tons of people because they already have too many volunteers. The same goes for ALL towns around me! The outreach is AMAZING.

The radiation levels are the same as yesterday [I would get more radiation from a plane ride than from standing outside for an hour]. Like I said, business as usual.

I had my favorite tiny elementary school, Kamisanmiya. I planned a party for the graduating 6th graders. I've had them since they were 3rd graders!




I made red velvet cupcakes for the kids [Thanks Mom!] with cream cheese frosting [Thanks Greg!]:



Since yesterday was St. Patrick's Day, I used the napkins and decorations my mom sent me:




I also got American style chips and drinks... well, not the tea but:




I showed the kids the duck face you can make with pringles:




And we played Pictionary, which they LOVED. It was pretty fun, even for me.

The teacher pulled "Michael Jackson" and started drawing. All the kids guessed "JANINE SENSEI!" uuuuugh!!!!





Pretty simple day but so fun.


Tonight was a pretty sunset:


and now me, danny, brian and our friend Darren [whose pics I posted last Saturday of the car falling off the cliff!] are about to sit down to some delicious Mexican food!
