Being in Japan, and taking beginning Japanese courses made me start feeling like I wasn't growing professionally or academically. So, I reached out to Daimon-san and asked if I could come over to work on his farm. He said "sure" and so I got my work clothes together, left them in my professor Tokuoka's room, and grabbed them after class before biking over.
I changed at his house, and we pulled weeds for an hour. He wanted to take me out for dinner, but because I had English Club, I had to leave. I could tell that he felt bad, as he tried to give me tons of snacks, but honestly it was okay. Despite me planning to go every week, I only went once or twice due to Summer heat and my busy schedule.
