I’m Back

Almost a week of head-scratching and I think I’ve finally got the website back up and running. It was down longer than I expected, and my e-mail was toasted for a while, but I think it’s back to normal. It wasn’t without some losses, though. I lost all the captions for the pictures in the gallery. At least I still have the pictures.

Not much to report for this week. At work we have mostly wrapped up the regular schedule of classes. We had Miyake sensei over for dinner on Wednesday night. We ate lots of tacos and talked for a long time. She was very happy to visit with us and break from her regular routine – we enjoyed talking to her.

Today was a weird day at school. The had no students, and for the teachers you could either take today off or March 17th off for free, to compensate for this Sunday, when we have to go in to work. I’m not sure why the weird schedule, but I decided to go ahead and go in today. The vice principal left at 10 o’clock in the morning, and told me that I could leave in the afternoon. I took him very literally and left at five minutes past noon.

This afternoon I did laundry and finally got things set up on the website the way I like them. Tonight Kuniko will be getting home late because she has an English teacher’s meeting to find out who will be teaching what classes. Yesterday she found out that she will be teaching high school first year students next year, as opposed to teaching third year junior high students like she is now. There was a chance that she would be teaching first year junior high students, but it didn’t happen. Kuniko was happy about the level of the students she will teach, but that teacher group is entirely men, and about half of them are single. She won’t have a female to hang out with in her group, so she’s thinking it might not be so much fun.

More updates this weekend!
