The nice thing about a long weekend is that you get a nice short week afterwards. \u00a0 Yesterday the Kansai area dodged a bullet and (possibly) the biggest typhoon of the year missed us to the south. \u00a0It went on to hit Tokyo directly and cause a little bit of havoc, but we just had some heavy winds and rain on and off. \u00a0No problem!<\/p>\n
I’m getting used to teaching my new students in the group lessons, and they are starting to get more comfortable with each other. \u00a0As they relax, the learning seems to come a little easier. \u00a0One of the big changes this term is that I outlawed work phones in the classroom, and it has made a huge difference. \u00a0Last time we had students running in and out which was a distraction.<\/p>\n
I’m already looking forward to the weekend. \u00a0We’ll go do a little shopping on Friday after work, and then on Saturday we’re going to head over to the Fukumi’s place for dinner. \u00a0It’ll be good to see them – it seems like ages since we’ve seen them around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
