Yesterday afternoon I had a good meeting with my immediate supervisor about our plans for the next term, and the rest of 2014. I got some valuable information about what I can expect, and that will help me plan this year.
One thing that is decided is that we are a go for our trip this summer to Europe. In the next couple of days we’ll buy some plane tickets that I’ve had my eyes on. Once the tickets are purchased, then the fun of planning what we’ll do begins.
These days the weather keeps threatening to warm up, but unfortunately it hasn’t made any big changes yet. It is hard to believe that we’ll have cherry blossoms in about a month. It seems like it has been dark and cold for a long time.
Next month should be interesting. I’ll have fewer classes as things wind down for my group lessons, Kuniko will have a little more free time on the weekends, and we’ve got a couple of events planned. We’ll be hosting the Yamaji and the Fukumi families for a dinner, and we’ll have the youngest attendee ever. Also we’ll have the chance to visit Kuniko’s folks and help start growing shiitake mushrooms at the farm. Can’t wait!
