This week has been a busy and stressful one for my students, which strangely makes it an easier week for me. At the end of this week we’re hosting some important customers, as well as a VIP (more on that later), so my students are concentrating on finishing up documents and paperwork and they are pretty tired by the time they arrive at my classroom.
Tomorrow I’ll meet up with Antoine for the first time in a long time, and we’re planning to continue the quest for good Mexican food in Kobe. I’ve just about given it up for dead, but Antoine says that he heard about a good Mexican place that he wants to try. My expectations will be high, especially after just coming back from California (and Mexico) so I hope it is a hit.
Kuniko is stuck working Saturday and Sunday, but she’ll have Monday off to relax and catch up. It is a strange schedule, but I think it is definitely better than the brutal and largely unpaid schedule that she had at her previous school.
The days are getting really cold, and each morning the walk to work is the coldest part of my day. Yesterday I walked to work in falling snow, so I guess winter is finally here.
