It was kind of scary. u_U  My office canceled the last lesson at work and told everyone to go home and batten down the hatches.  Under the circumstances, I decided that the best course of action would be to follow suit.  I kind of regret not going because my other teammates went, and I kind of look bad&#8230;.but it turns out the trains DID stop and everybody DID get stuck and got home super late or whatnot.  So at least I finished my chores and got a good night sleep so I could train hard the next morning.  *sigh* I still feel bad, though.  I had bought a 5,000 yen (60 dollar) ticket!  So I&#8217;m glad because I felt like at least I supported the fighters. -_-;<\/p>\n<p>Monday I had a fantastic training session.  I went to the middle\/end of pro practice because I just wanted to get one or two rounds of sparring in before the 10:30 class (which is probably bad form, of me&#8230;) but this fellow Harley had come from Australia to train.  We sparred a few times. (he&#8217;s only 19!) But he&#8217;s good and his Judo is pretty good.  Then pro class ended and Steve taught us stuff, and we did a lot of take downs off the wall drills.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/roxy-and-harley.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/roxy-and-harley.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"roxy and harley\" width=\"421\" height=\"366\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2597\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then went for my orthopedic appointment in Shibuya, did chores etc, and then went BACK to Yokohama to met Brittany and give her a Japanese lesson!<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/brittany-studying.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/brittany-studying.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"brittany studying\" width=\"290\" height=\"389\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2598\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nBusy day!
