This weekend I was leaning towards catching Tomb Raider, but Miss Kageyama called and had to bail, as she found out that she had passed the first stage of a job interview in Osaka, and this weekend she is going in to interview in the next stage. Miss Kageyama is a part time teacher, and so that means that she doesn’t have a lot of job security.
She has been applying at different schools, without much success. This is the first time that she has gotten a bite, so she’s cautiously excited. The school is supposedly one of the top English schools in Osaka, which means a lot. I get the impression that Miss Kageyama is a big city type, so hopefully she will land that job. It seems like a good match for her.
Today I spent helping translate a speech for one of our students who plans on entering a speech contest. I had fun with the translation – if she doesn’t make round two, the contest must be rigged. I am hoping I’ll get a chance to watch her deliver it and cheer her on.
