today i went back to school for the first time since my last day. i went to watch a farewell festival for the graduating 3rd graders. i didn't quite know what to expect and was only told to be there at 8:30 am. i was thinking it would be an hour or two thing. well... 4 hours later the assembly ended. it was so l-o-n-g but it was interesting and a little entertaining. i was somewhat bored about midway though since i couldn't understand a thing. there were skits, lots of musical performances (solos, duets, choir and a few photo video montages with lyrics over the top that seemed kinda like a sing-a-long), a few dances, speeches, more skits, speeches from the teachers, and two videos (one thanking the 3rd graders and the 3rd yr teachers and one showing the 3rd graders during their 1st and 2nd years at school). everything was cute but it just seemed like so much fanfare considering this wasn't the graduation ceremony. (my 8th grade promotion sure wasn't as elaborate or as long, heck my high school graduation was way less of a deal!) next tuesday i am invited to the graduation. i'm going to go ahead and prepare for a full morning four hour event! i am glad i went, it was fun to see the students again and i did enjoy some of the performances, especially the dancing ones.
i didn't get home until about 2pm and got a lazy, late start on the cranes. but i finally got them done about 11pm. keep pushin' strong!
the decorated gym and all the students watching.
my lunch. giant uncut sushi roll filled with bbq meat and lettuce. super tasty!
day 7's 40 cranes... git 'er done!
total count: 382

Glad you went to the celebration. I'm sure the kids were happy to see you. I'm happy you're planning to go to the graduation too. It kinda seems like closure for you and them.
Keep up the work on the cranes. You'll get there, I'm sure.
