Yesterday was officially my last class with the last of my students, and it was (as always) a little sad to say goodbye and send them out there to (hopefully) continue their studies on their own. Actually I am available for them as a resource, and each day I have a little time at the end of the day – call them ‘office hours’ – for them to drop by and ask questions or just practice speaking. So it isn’t a permanent goodbye, anyway.
So thus begins a couple of days of rest for me. Today and Thursday I have off completely, and Wednesday I have most of the afternoon off. I plan on spending most of the time working through a huge to-do list that has built up. I’ll just take it line by line and see how much I can get done today.
We’re planning on hosting Mr. Tojo and his wife this Saturday. The original plan was to go and make a Costco run in the morning, and since we’re there we’ll pick up something yummy to grill for dinner if the weather is good. We wanted to welcome them to the neighborhood – they just moved in and maybe they are a little unsure of everything right now.
OK, off to work on the to-do list. It starts with lugging three garbage bags out to the curb this morning. Ugh.
