Today was the last abbreviated schedule day at school – Friday will be a full day of moving desks and getting organized into our new teacher groups. As for me, I’m in the same place doing the same thing, so there’s not much for me to do but help other people move their crap around. <\/p>\n
I was out of there by lunchtime, and I went home early to clean house and organize some things. Behind my place one of the houses is being torn down, and the sound of a house being slowly pulled apart punctuated my afternoon. It’s interesting to watch these things happen – it was surprising how much stuff was still in the house while they tore it up. I hope they had the right house.<\/p>\n
In the evening Kuniko came by because she had to watch a video from her new school, and now I have the VCR and TV here. I had cooked her dinner (Philly Cheesesteaks) and then we settled down to watch the video. It was a video showing how to clean the bathrooms at her school. We watched a crack team of students scrubbing the bathroom mercilessly – before each task they student would pose with the cleaning implement they were about to use. The sound editing was really low budget – actually the whole thing was really low budget. Kuniko watched it twice to catch all the details. As a teacher she will most likely be directing teams of students to do cleanup after school, so now she’ll know what she’s talking about when it happens.<\/p>\n
Video watching completed, we walked over to Tsuchiyama station and I said goodbye to her there. We’re going to see each other again early Saturday morning… we’ll be heading to Okayama to help her sister move.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
