Three things:

(zero) Agreed with Jon L to give a level four student level up to level three. She was quite happy and passed the test rather well. The level 3 test is rather difficult, according to Steve.

(ichi) Had a great 7C student to close out the day. Her name is Kazue, and she's a computer engineer of some variety. Part of the reason I liked her is she remindes me of someone else, but I can't remember who. She was quite yammerful, not like a normal 7C, all meek and waiting for prompts before speaking.

(ni) Talked with Karen, my dad's wife about 20 minutes. I talked to her longer than I've talked to her ever before. I'm not sure what that means, but it's probably a combination of missing home and not having experienced her anger anytime recently.

(san) Talked a long time with janette. All was cool until I came out with not really wanting to know her past because some of the parts I know sorta creep me out like she has smoked and I'm like eeee gross and her reaction, understandably, was "hey man that's all part of me" and she was careful to not get defensive, but it did make her a little sad. Sigh.

(shi) At the very end as we were hanging up, she goes, "I hope that your experience there will help you know what types of things you want to have close to you in your life," and I was just CONKED in the emotional head with it like BAM *sadness*. But I didn't want to extend the conversation longer; it's 1am and I've got to be at work in 8.5 hours.

(5) I did 1 - 4 above instead of studying Japanese. I trust it's all for the best, but sometimes it's hard to see what's best. and sometimes I realize there is no best; there just is what is.
