Today was my last day at my school (the Global Village). I got a kind of certification which I think is not substance.
They held "the graduation party", preparing hundreds of pieces of pizza for all students.
I thought that it was ridiculous for us to pay for those snacks and pizza here!

Anyway, at my home, Jodi and her children had gone to another family's house for a week.
She will have to take care of their home and their children while parents have gone to England for a week,
in other words, she will be a live-in housekeeper for a week. She will send her children to school directly from
that place and stay here during the school hour and she will go back to that place after picking up children
and dropping Yoichi here. That's why I have to take Yoichi to school during next week, though Jodi can pick him up in the afternoon.
We will be able to have a quiet week but Yoichi will miss them.

After Jodi and children left here about 4 o'clock Emily and Amy started to watch a video with so much volume
that I couldn't hear my own TV in downstairs. Upstairs had been their own place until Dave came back here
around 9 o'clock after eating dinner with Jodi and children at their place. Finishing dinner and bath,
I went up to upstairs to watch the TV and found them talking on the phone, Emily was using the phone in the kitchen
and Amy was using her cellular phone in the Emily's room. Is there anybody who knows that the Korean are very loud
when they are talking their own language? Upstairs were totally a Korean world! It was terrible! I couldn't concentrate
my favorite program on TV at all. Especially when Amy started complaining of her pay phone card which had gone for a short time,
the way and the sound of their talk were very scary for me. Finally I gave up staying upstairs and retired downstairs.
Why did I have to get out of there?
