Friday, Monday

Today is Friday, and I’m headed to work for the third time this week. I’ll have a chance to meet my new students face to face today, and although I always enjoy the first lesson it is safe to say that my students rarely do. They have a stressful meeting with a person they’ve never met in a language that they rarely use, and on top of that there is an interview test that we record for reference. We’ll see how people do today.

The last three days have been great. I whittled down my to-do list to just one or two items left, cleaned the house, relaxed a lot, got a replacement netbook for the increasingly loud and tempermental one that we’ve been using for the last few years. I went into work just once on Wednesday to help with an orientation for the new students, and after that I was on my own again. Easy days.

Tonight we will receive some Jerry’s Pies via delivery from Kyoto. I originally had ordered them as an accent for Saturday’s party with Mr. Tojo, but last night Mr. Tojo was sent to New York for a while so the party is off. Hopefully Jerry’s Pies will freeze OK.

I’m off to work – today feels like a Monday for me, but actually it is the end of the work week for everyone. I guess I like the feeling.
