Boom, Boom. That is all i heard this morning around 4am. It was the sounds of thunder and lightning passing by. Too tired i didnt think much of it, but today was the same day as my Sports festival at school. A wierd ritual done at every japanese school, passed on from generation to generation. Anyways it was to be held outside. The key word was "was", but to my dismay when i woke up this morning it was raining cats and dogs. Tried to call my teachers to see if it was still on, but to no avail. Of course they call everyone else to say if it is canceled or not, but not me. So i decided to crawl out of bed and make my 5 minute walk to school. At school, there were no bikes nor kids to be seen, but there was a nice sign in japanese which i barely understood. So i just rolled into school anyways. Darn, all the teachers were there, so i guess it was kinda a work day. The kids were told to watch the news for the typhoon warning. If the warning was to be lifted by 10am the kids were to report back to school. How dumb, all the kids arent gonna watch the tv just to come to school. Then what do you know, 10 minutes before 10am the warning was lifted. So the kids had to report. But of course only maybe like a 1/3 of them came. They stayed for a useless hour in homeroom and then were sent home at lunch. Oh my, couldnt really do club practice or sports day practice. No one was at school. So in the end, it was another short day. Noon time equals go home early! Yipee!
