the name of the flower

...is cosmos.

i think.

i didn't know what it was. and searched the web for it. and don't know how i found it, but i did. internet sleuthing can be fun and frustrating. i think the frustrating part comes from not knowing.

the kids at school are practicing for sports day. the 1st and 2nd graders are practicing a dance for the song Ninjare Bang Bang from Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. the 3rd and 4th graders are practicing for the Nameko song. i died from the cuteness. i'm very sad i won't be able to attend their sports day because i'm assigned to go to a different school that day. D: disappointment!
