Dear Suzyxx in Palestine

9:13am JST Friday 5 January 2007 (day 13435)

I've just added to my blog Suzyxx email from Palestine, and changed the permalink structure (for nicer URLs; thank you WordPress!), and then posted Lt Watada justly refuses an unjust war, which is far bigger, but no less important than Suzy xx's entry.

I tried staying genki (and awake) during all of the lessons, though a couple of times it was trying. I've determined what I mostly don't like is students pretending to understand, cause when I tell a story, I don't want to waste my breath. They fake comprehension so I can't help them learn anything new, and it's just a waste. Rarely do I say, "you don't understand, do you?" cause they usually won't understand that either.

Carl was asked by a student what sperm was (their topic was surogate mothers). He didn't know how to say it in Japanese, so after the lesson he asked Madoka. She spent a lot of energy claiming not to know. How silly! Finally I got her to write it down: seishi
