It is a very happy Thursday here, as I have the next four days off. We’re celebrating the end of the Japanese fiscal year with a weekend in Taiwan. I can’t wait to eat my way through Taipei. We will depart on Saturday morning early, and come back to Japan on Monday afternoon.
But before the eating starts, we’ve got to wrap things up here in Japan. I am finishing up my paperwork on my students, and have just one more document to take care of before I can call the term officially “over”.
The next term is shaping up nicely, and I heard that they dug up six new students to join my classes, which will mean that I’ll have a full schedule once again. The nice part about the new schedule is that on every day but Wednesday I’ll have one hour for “office hours” after lunch. That means if no students come in for questions I can focus on planning for the week’s classes and stay ahead on paperwork. I think the schedule I had this time last year was just a solid wall of classes with no planning time. Progress!
Tomorrow I have the whole day off, and Kuniko has a party that night, so I’ll spend the time packing and cleaning house, and taking care of some odd jobs. As usual, if the weather is good I’ll try to go out and get some exercise. I’m also planning on letting my stomach get especially hungry… it is going to have a busy weekend.
