Third-year Easter lessons

As soon as I got back to Tsushima, I went to lunch at Mos. Halfway into my shrimp burger, I got a phone call from Kurokawa-sensei. He apologized for calling me so soon after I got back, but wanted to let me know about a change to the schedule: the next day, Thursday, would use Monday's schedule, which meant we had our third-year class together. Because normal classes for seniors end in January, it also meant that would be our next-to-last class together.

I finished lunch and headed up to school. He and I talked it over, and decided to do an Easter lesson. Despite Easter being a full three months away, I wanted them to get to dye eggs.

I'll save for later all the details about the preparations, but we had the students make pairs, gave each pair a boiled egg, and let them decorate it with crayons and markers, and then dye it with food coloring.

Everybody hated the smell of the vinegar, and none of the students believed me when I swore the egg would taste fine. As I expected, the girls went nuts with decoration, covering their eggs in flowers, hearts, their friends' names, etc. The boys did a good job decorating, too. One of the boys drew boobies on his, and proudly showed it to everyone--girls included.
