covered for patrick 1 of 5

Worked at AK today for a 2 hour lesson. Pretty great because the students are all talkative and asked questions and such. Chatted a bit and then showed them an article I used with other class. This class had much higher comprehension of the article... which is good, but shows me just how too-high the article was for my other class.

After the lesson, Eiko walked me back nearly to the security gate, asking about PB a bit.

the fifth cheesecake

11:57 Monday 24 July 2017 JST

About once a week I eat lunch at Wired Cafe in Lazona. I always order the same thing (salad pizza, unsliced), sit in the same place (near an electrical outlet), and joke around with the manager when he is in.

One time I busted out my Japanese and ordered five (5) cheesecake sundaes. チーズケーキいつつお願いします。 and he was like five?? And I was like haha just joking.

But we carried the joke forward, and ever since then have been counting up/down the cheesecakes that I order. Today I ordered it again, and have decided it is my fifth since we started counting. So I was like 五つのご番目のちーずけーきお願いします、 and he was like ???, which is fine because it's a weird request, but is that a reasonable way to ask for the "fifth of five cheesecakes"?

tweaked kais presentation

Met Kai today at 1pm to edit her presentation which she translated from Japanese. It was pretty decent actually, with just a few wonky sentence structures and some punctuation typos. It was so easy that it did not take the 2 hours we had allocated, but boom done in an hour sitting at ("Fresh like a box of _______ ______") down near Azalea.

So tired, can barely stay awake enough to make sure I don't zonk out and miss the lesson which starts 1t 5:30pm. I actually considered getting a massage for an hour because then I could sleep and they would wake me up after the hour, but that would cost more cash than I have on me.

For some reason, I cannot connect to an EC2 instance, but I can connect to its sibling which was created with same OS, security group,and ssh key. hmmm.
