I spent a good chunk of the hour looking up the original Japanese. I think I found it. Here's both:
The falling flower I saw drift back to the branch Was a butterfly Rakka eda ni kaeru to mireba kochou kana It comes from a Buddhist proverb, "A fallen flower never returns to the branch", so it would sound something like, "When I thought the fallen flower would return to the branch, oh! it was a butterfly". Of course, the teacher doesn't know Japanese so it wouldn't have helped her. Anyway, I mean, studying translated poetry is fine, not ideal, but it's ok...as long as you remember that it's a translation. I think the class needs to practice trying to decide what the author really intended. To remember that authors are human and try to imagine the writing process. |

I wasn't expecting to be home tonight, but I ended up calling in because I really need to rest my voice for tomorrow. So I came home, practiced my singing for about an hour and a half, and now I'm resting and relaxing. It's nice

 BTW, is anyone else aware that everyone seems to have lost many posts from their account? I mean, I'm supposed to have 500+ posts, but when I look at the number next to my avvie, it says 367 (after this one).  What's this, or is it just me? <-< >-> O.o

 We just street-legaled our quads a few weeks ago, and it just came in very handy. Our car was in the shop, and was supposed to be ready this morning, and it wasn't, and I had to get a book to my son at school, so I just popped on the quad and drove to school! Very fun. I got a thumbs-up from one of those guys twirling signs on the corner

Rian, that does sound cool ^_^
From what I've seen on pictures those quads are rather small though. Isn't it uncomfortable? Hiya Sas! Been a while indeed! I just re-read a thread yesterday and I saw a post by you, so I had to think of you. What a coincidence Well, I'm off to bed now. Be good everyone!

I'm trying to find some straight up good tea. Is that possible at American supermarkets?

It usually is. I don't know how you grade tea (it could be to a higher standard than I do) but my family has often found a good selection of tea in the standard super market (I think it's in the coffee aisle but don't quote me on it)
