It’s about 9:30 in the evening and Kuniko is going to get here in the next 30 minutes or so – I’ve got some time to write an entry before getting dinner ready. Tonight at 10 p.m. there will be a World Cup game that I might watch a little of. Everybody at my school will be sure to be tired tomorrow because it is Japan playing, and people around here are really excited about it. <\/p>\n
Today I had just one class – the first period, so once that was done I had the whole day to do as I pleased. I worked on planning for the trip, did lots of studying, and spent a couple hours lesson planning. <\/p>\n
The head of the office came by and brought an interpreter along to explain to me that I was going to have to move out of my house soon. Luckily it didn’t come as a surprise to me, and I think he was glad to see that. He’s a skittish guy – he looked like he was afraid I was just going to say “no”. <\/p>\n
I’m suffering big time from sunburn today, but I think by tomorrow the worst will be over. The other teachers were amused to hear my rice planting story, and a little jealous that we eat rice for free all year because of it. <\/p>\n
I’ve got three different kinds of marinades working on chicken breasts, so I better go in there and get them cooking. Hopefully Kuniko will get home earlier tomorrow so she can rest up a bit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
