Argh, school is back. >>;; Argh. It feels like I’ve been back for a long time. Most classes have jumped right into the thick of things. >>;; I have not been able to change my Higher Level math course back to Standard Level. It’s intensely frustrating. “IB 12’s: Hang in there.” T_T Argh. At this rate, I will be stuck in Higher Level math and fail and never, ever get my diploma >>;; EVER! It doesn’t help that my appointments are never met and that every time I make one it’s pushed back. ¬¬;

Kiss me
In the neighbouring barley field
Nightly, in the waving grass
Together, speading our wings 5I also don’t understand why “hane” (feathers, wings) are mentioned.
Let’s dress up and dance
Oh, kiss me
Lead me into the dark, fleeting night
Where the moon is waiting
Look, oh, look!
The wind has begun to sing and the stars 6ETA: Apparently the kanji have hotaru (‘fireflies’) but it’s definitely sung ‘hoshi’. have begun to dance
So, kiss me
Kiss me
At the secret castle
Swing me, on the tire boat 7No, I don’t understand what a “tire boat” is, either. The original song mentions a tire swing.
