They like typhoons

A typhoon is now coming to central Japan. When you turn on TV, you can't watch it without being informed where the typhoon is located now. We are very afraid of typhoons, because they sometimes deprived some people of their lives.

However, students are happy about a typhoon coming. Why? Because there will be no school when there is a strong wind alert. Today my students asked me again and again, "Isn't there an alert yet?" "When do you think it will go out?"

In this afternoon there was an alert in my area. Teachers were summoned to the staff room through the loudspeakers. Then our students noticed that there came what they had expected, and they shouted happily. We went back to our classrooms and told them that they could go home because an alert was raised.

Do they really go home straight? I don't know!

It's over, and so is mine...

The track and field world championships in Osaka are over. I kept my mouth and eyes open in seeing how strong USA athletes are. Japan got only one medal. What a difference! Anyway, I enjoyed watching these world championships on TV every day, and I've found myself more and more fond of watching track and field. But at last they are over.

And so is my summer vacation. Today is the last day, and I have to start a new semester tomorrow. I'm even forgetting my students' names. And I've completely forgotten how to teach! Our second semester is too long: September, October, November and December! I can't wait for my winter vacation...
