After Party and Slumber Party

Looking back on things I should not have gone to the Mid-Year Seminar after party. My stomach was feeling strange, my head was hurting, and I made one too many trips to the toilet. But I figured I was feeling weird from sitting all day and listening to the presentations. And it is not uncommon for me to have digestion problems. So I ignored my feelings of strangeness and went. I enjoyed talking to some folks I haven't talked to in awhile or ever, including Yamane and the other kencho guy that was there. Both of them seemed very intersted in our thoughts about Japan and our experiences within the schools.

Following the party, several of us had a slumber party at Becky I's apartment. Futons were sparce and the temps weren't too bad but still a bit chilly. With some improvisation, things worked out just fine and we were warm as we slept. Thanks for always being such a great host, Becky!
