I taught the expression TGIF to a student yesterday in preparation for today at work – he promised me that he would use it with some visiting Americans. For some reason today is feeling like the end of a long, tough week – but at least for me it has been a perfectly normal week.
A couple of weeks ago I made plans for meeting Antoine tonight in Sannomiya. It has been a long time since we met, so I’m looking forward to catching up with him, and hopefully Sannomiya will hold a little adventure for us. Somehow with Antoine we usually end up going to a “girl bar” at some point – not sure if it will happen again tonight.
Speaking of going out, I was invited to dinner by some of my students next week, so it should be fun to go out and get to know my new students in a social atmosphere. I hear we’re having yakiniku, so that is always something to look forward to. Unfortunately it is on a school night, so I’ll have to watch my garlic intake.
I finally nailed down the last hotel for our trip this summer, a small little place in the heart of Geneva, and that means I just need to take care of transportation and we’re done. We’ll be mainly using the train, so I’ll get a Eurail pass in the next few weeks to get us around. Half the fun of the trip is planning it – maybe I should have gotten into the travel industry.
