Chorus Practice
The sounds of song are filling the corridors of the Junior High school today. The students are practicing for a chorus concert next Wednesday. I’ll miss the concert, because I’m going to a conference for JETs in Fukui Prefecture, but I have (during fits of boredom) walked around and watched the different classes perform. They sound very nice, and it’s nice to hear them singing from the teacher’s room. Some classes, obviously, are better then others, but they are all trying very hard.
I’ve been working on lots of art lately, but I am desperate to find charcoal. I just can’t find it! I may have a chance when I go to Fukui city for the conference. I am doing a lot of art partly due to the possibility of having a show in the paper-making village of Imadate. I by chance met a Japanese person, Hana, (who speaks amazing English and is very nice) who is also and artist and is working with the village now. She said if I was an artist I may be able to have a show there. I went and visited and it is really beautiful. I got to see a lot of art made from the paper and a paper-making demonstration. Then Hana and I made our own paper. It was very fun! So, if I can propose an idea to them of how I’d like to use their paper I can have a show. I am working on drawings and paintings and hope they like them.
Ah! Thirty more minutes of school left! So close, but yet… so… far…
