Well, it’s been as wet as I’ve seen it in Japan and everyone says that it’s still a month before the rainy season starts. The strange thing about the weather lately is that one day it will be rainy and the next day full sunshine. It makes it a little harder to plan weekends.
Today was my easiest day of the week – Thursday. I have just three classes, and they are the first three periods, so I’m done by 11:30. I locked myself in my classroom after lunch and got in about two hours of studying. Afterwards I read Doraemon at my desk until the staff meeting.
All this studying seems to give me a little more insight into what people are saying around me. Now I am able to get the vague gist of a conversation, whereas before I might only catch a word or two every couple of minutes.
After school I came home and made up a big plate of nachos – I realized that I had all the fixin’s just laying around – so it came out to be a great meal. Spicy!
This evening I’m just doing a little more kanji studying, and cleaning up the house a bit. There’s a chance that Kuniko might be able to visit at some point this weekend, so I wanted to do a little caretaking around here.
Tomorrow is the teacher’s enkai after school. It should be interesting – a lot of the teachers are still a little uncomfortable with each other, and the new teachers are definitely uncomfortable with me. Then they will have to meet the old teachers… a lot of social variables in play tomorrow.
