Tennis and Star Wars: Episode 3
Today started pretty early. Like every Saturday, class starts early. I left later than usual and arrived at school later than usual too. But I ran into a group of teachers that came about the same time. I think this time it was weird because I ran into so many teachers. I think it was about 4 at the same time. It was really really hot walking to work too. I swear that I was about to pass out walking to work; it was that hot.
My first class started off weird because the room that I normally use was being occupied by other students that normally use that class. I usually check to see if the room is ok, but today I didn’t. I guess that was my mistake, so my first class actually started a bit late. I didn’t really cover what I wanted to. In fact, it was more of a review session with her. I wanted to make sure that she remembers what she’s learned and to learn how to be able to use it in the future. Right now, she’s just remembered the bits and pieces, but it’s not forming a picture in her mind. I’ve got to work harder at putting it together better so she could see it better.
After that I just chilled at my desk for another 4 hours. I studied Japanese for a little bit, but that got tiring and boring really quick. The teacher’s office was really hot like usual, so it made me drowsy. I had to take frequent breaks and get up and walk around so I wouldn’t fall asleep at my desk.
The movie was good, nothing too great though, so I was a bit disappointed after seeing the movie. When the movie ended, EK and I ran to Kawasaki station to catch our last trains. I was able to catch the last train on the Tokaido line, which is a faster train. So I was extremely lucky to get home.
Star wars has an unparalleled view of the real world and how the society of the U.S. is going. I feel that some people are taking their power and instead of hearing what everyone else has to say, they just do what they want. That’s not a democracy and hiding behind the word terrorism isn’t and calling others separatists for having a different view is just plain wrong. The country was founded on debate, that’s what we were intended to do…debate. No one person has all the answers, but it seems like once they get into power, they feel they can do all that they want at the expense of others. Remember, we call them public servants because they are intended to serve the public, but I haven’t seen that in a long while. I only see people as those who only serve themselves. Much like the movie depicts of the empire and how it is formed. It’s not too far off from the truth and that’s kinda scary. The beginning of the movie was good, but I didn’t like the way that it ended; although I know why they had to do that in order to tie up all movies together. It made sense as to how everything fell into place and it’s a tragic story. There could have been improvements, but since I’ll see it a few times in the theater, I shouldn’t complain too much this time.
