Monday morning, and the weather is still a little wet. I have developed a small hole in the sole of one of my shoes that collects water during the rainy days, and makes obnoxious squeaking noises as I walk. After a couple of days the water dries out and then I can walk without the soundtrack. <\/p>\n
I joked around with the teachers from the English department in the aftermath of the big party on Friday. Mr. Yamamoto had just seen me bustled into a black van and didn’t see who I got in with – he jokingly thought I was being kidnapped. I told him that I kind of was, but that I had a great time. <\/p>\n
I had three first year classes today, and the students were full of energy. They like the shakeup of going to a new classroom, even if it means they might have to do something goofy in front of the class. <\/p>\n
Mr. Hayashi taught me Japanese during the extra afternoon period, so before I knew it it was time to get out of there. On the way home I picked up some groceries and had a big bowl of macaroni and cheese (sent by my folks) with little weiners cut up inside. I had a decent salad alongside, and it was delicious. I also had a XXXX beer – it’s as close as I’m going to get to microbrews around here. It costs me about $2.50 a bottle, so I better enjoy it. It’s still cheaper than buying it at a bar – that’s what I have to keep in mind.<\/p>\n
I did an hour of studying kanji, and then I hit the sack. The weather is warm enough that I’m just sleeping under a sheet now. Soon, it’ll be off with the sheet and I’ll be opening my doors and windows. It’s warming up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
