Christeph: On the Lam

Spring here is an f’ing tease. The weather’s warmed slightly, but has refused to yield both a beautiful day and warmth at the same time. The cherry trees, early Spring bloomers which currently dictate all social engagements, are refusing to cooperate, and remain elusively free of flowers. My adult English class planned a flower viewing festival for tonight, but we’ve thrown in the towel due to rain.

Along with the start of the new school year, and the imminent cherry blossom season, I’d like to give a shout-out to my girl Momoko, a first year junior high student. Last week in class, all my students got their class folders, which they labeled with “English” in their favorite language. Momoko, already rearing to go with the English, thought she would go a step further and write “English File”, which, if you think about it, is a pretty awesome and motivated thing to do on the first day ever of language class. The spelling was a little haywire though, and with an accidental twist of irony, she ended up with “English Fail”. We got the spelling issue cleared up, and she’s now well on her way to greatness.
