Spring Vacation

Today is the last day before the two week spring vacation! Since tomorrow is also the first day of Spring, here is a simple English poem for you...

I Meant To Do My Work Today

by Richard Le Gallienne

I meant to do my work today,

But a brown bird sang in the apple tree,

And a butterfly flitted across the field,

And all the leaves were calling me.

And the wind went sighing over the land,

Tossing the grasses to and fro,

And a rainbow held out its shining hand--

So what could I do but laugh and go?

Graduation

Today is Graduation Day for the 3rd grade students at Hokusho Nishi High School!

Congratulations to all of them!

It is interesting to see the differences between American graduation and Japanese graduation. Many of the mothers were dressed in Kimonos, and the fathers wore suits. The ceremony was very formal and rigid.

In America, the ceremonies are definitely more relaxed, and a bit less formal.

It was very fun to take part in.
