IMG_0525 * This is the staggeringly lovely arrangement of handmade chocolates that Kana gave to me on Valentine's Day. She messed with me by first giving me a really tacky, cheap store-bought present, then said just kidding! and pulled this one out. I was speechless. Inside, there were cookies made with different colored doughs, and chocolate tarts decorated with gold leaf. I had always wondered what kind of thing I might get if I ever managed to have a Japanese girlfriend on Valentine's Day, but this went way beyond my expectations. * 3264 x 2448 * (3.69MB)

IMG_0583 * Three of the college students who briefly interned at my school last year came over to my apartment for a nabe party. I only see these guys once every few months, but we always have a great time. * 3264 x 2448 * (3.74MB)

IMG_0612 * This is 1-7, the all-star first year class that I can't possibly say enough good things about. They're easily the best first year class I've ever had, and possibly the best class I've ever had, period. This was taken on our last class together. I'll see them all around next year of course, but I'll never have them together in the same class again, which is really an incredible shame. * 3264 x 2448 * (3.66MB)

IMG_0730 * One of the things I love about the view from my apartment is that I could live there for 10 years, and get a completely different view every single day. This was one of the more remarkable morning vistas I've seen so far. * 3264 x 2448 * (2.83MB)

IMG_0859 * Last week, all the junior high school students who had taken our school's entrance exam gathered at the school for the posting of the results. It was a mob of terribly nervous kids and parents. * 3264 x 2448 * (4.31MB)

IMG_0861 * At exactly 2:30 they brought out the board with the results posted on it. If your number was there, you made it. If it wasn't, it was one of the worst days of your life. * 3264 x 2448 * (3.68MB)

IMG_0866 * There was a lot of shouting, rejoicing, and crying. It was priceless to see the expressions on some of the students who made it. * 3264 x 2448 * (3.57MB)

IMG_0871 * Taking pictures as proof. * 3264 x 2448 * (3.7MB)
