sushi for breakfast

This week we're wrapping up Internal Assessment with my English A1 class. We are slowly crawling to the finish line of the May exam session with the hurdle of mocks on the way. It's the time of the year that students are beginning to show signs of fatigue, ennui and a trail of angst follows them wherever they go. They become fuzzy around the edges and sometimes they stare vacantly at me, making me wonder if the time we have spent together has been just a dream.
So i was DE-very-lighted with the quality of their presentations, the insightful comments and their perspectives as students of literature. It was satisfying for all of us, in more than one respects, to be offered this morning sushi, miso soup and green tea for breakfast by the pair that chose to work on the topic of food and bonding in Banana Yoshimoto's Kitchen. The already sleep-deprived presenters got up at 5:30am to prepare the little feast that is shown in the picture. It is definitely a lot more than what i would have accomplished at such an ungodly hour (or at some non-ungodly hour, for that matter...).
40 days to go, guys. Keep calm and have some sushi.
