It’s Monday and the start of kind of a weird work week for me. On Tuesday and Thursday I have training by the staffing company that I work for. Apparently it is only for about two hours each day, and I don’t have to go back to my school. Apparently. We’ll see how it works out, though. <\/p>\n
Friday is a national holiday, so I really only have today and Wednesday as work days. That’s nice!<\/p>\n
Today was a piece of cake – three classes in the morning. One of my classes was with Matsunaga sensei, and she seemed a little nervous today. She made several big mistakes in English. When I say big, I mean, all the students noticed the mistake and there was no question it was her. I try to smooth things over when my teachers make mistakes, but if it’s a big enough one I can’t really do anything to help. Today she made like three of these when normally I’m the one that is a little slow. She rebounded nicely, though, and I didn’t dwell on it. Other than recording it in my web diary for all eternity, I mean.<\/p>\n
Kuroda sensei came by my desk several times today, and I could tell she wanted to talk about something, but it took most of the day for her to spell it out for me. She said that she met a really nice guy, and she wanted to tell me all the details. Unfortunately we didn’t have time, so we’ll try and catch up later this week. I think that was a pretty short time being single, though. I don’t know how I ended up being her personal life confidant. Maybe it’s because we can talk about it around other teachers and students and nobody can understand us. <\/p>\n
In the afternoon the students did a final practice for the big all-junior high school sports day tomorrow. Since I’m in training I’m going to miss the event. It’s too bad – it sounds like a big deal.<\/p>\n
I’m back home now and starting to think about what to cook for dinner. Kuniko is coming home late tonight so I’ve got time to consider. I’m thinking spicy stir-fry and rice. We made a visit to Kuniko’s folks’ place last night, and so we brought home loads and loads of vegetables, despite a vow that we wouldn’t bring home very much this time. They just won’t take no for an answer over there. Tonight maybe we can knock down the inventory just a little bit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
