This has been an unusual week at work. The previous term kind of died down in the beginning of the week, there was a two day pause in the schedule in the middle, and today I’m kicking off the new students. It feels weird to start a new term on a Friday, but oh well.<\/p>\n
There are some familiar faces in my next batch of students, and I’m looking forward to getting to know the unfamiliar ones. Also, starting next week I’ll have small group lessons with the new employees, and I’ll have to see how that goes. Especially working with small groups it can sometimes be hard to plan for the class time. Hopefully I can keep everyone talking in a balanced way during class.<\/p>\n
Tonight after work Kuniko has a beer drinking party with one of her friends, and I’m going to also drink beer somewhere else with a former student. This weekend will be pretty calm, I think. There is a chance of heading into Osaka for some shopping and a doctor’s appointment, but otherwise I’ll probably be lounging around Saturday and Sunday. <\/p>\n
A typhoon is supposed to be headed this way early next week. That should make for an interesting start to the term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
