So I was minding my own business in the staffroom today. Wednesday is our first all-hands meeting, and so I figured there’d be more teachers back working. Actually, there was hardly anyone there. I guess these last two days are the last chance for a vacation for quite a while, so people are taking advantage.
I’ve mentioned the guy two desks down that has a hobby of picking his nose. He’s a strange dude all around. He’s got a big dandruff problem, he speaks so quietly you can hardly hear him, and his desk is covered with books. He has only enough space to write on a piece of paper, and then the other areas are towering with books. Lots of privacy, I guess.
Anyway, I overheard him tell some teachers that he is getting married next month. I wasn’t the only surprised person there. I think the teachers were asking him to see a picture – out of curiosity or as proof – I’m not sure. Anyway, I couldn’t catch the whole conversation, but I’m sure we’ll hear more at the big meeting Wednesday. Can’t wait to see the pictures.
The vice principal came by my desk pretty early and told me I could split. I had finished up my lesson plan for the first years in the morning and I was busy reviewing vocabulary, so I didn’t take him up on it until around 2 o’clock.
When I got back home I found that Kuniko had done all the dirty dishes from last night and also a big load of laundry was hanging out on the patio. I think we need to eat some stuff out of the refrigerator just to make room – it is packed with food. Tomorrow is another exciting teacher-free day, and then things will settle into a normal schedule and hopefully by next week I’ll be able to teach some classes!
