So I was minding my own business in the staffroom today. Wednesday is our first all-hands meeting, and so I figured there’d be more teachers back working. Actually, there was hardly anyone there. I guess these last two days are the last chance for a vacation for quite a while, so people are taking advantage.<\/p>\n
I’ve mentioned the guy two desks down that has a hobby of picking his nose. He’s a strange dude all around. He’s got a big dandruff problem, he speaks so quietly you can hardly hear him, and his desk is covered with books. He has only enough space to write on a piece of paper, and then the other areas are towering with books. Lots of privacy, I guess. <\/p>\n
Anyway, I overheard him tell some teachers that he is getting married next month. I wasn’t the only surprised person there. I think the teachers were asking him to see a picture – out of curiosity or as proof – I’m not sure. Anyway, I couldn’t catch the whole conversation, but I’m sure we’ll hear more at the big meeting Wednesday. Can’t wait to see the pictures. <\/p>\n
The vice principal came by my desk pretty early and told me I could split. I had finished up my lesson plan for the first years in the morning and I was busy reviewing vocabulary, so I didn’t take him up on it until around 2 o’clock. <\/p>\n
When I got back home I found that Kuniko had done all the dirty dishes from last night and also a big load of laundry was hanging out on the patio. I think we need to eat some stuff out of the refrigerator just to make room – it is packed with food. Tomorrow is another exciting teacher-free day, and then things will settle into a normal schedule and hopefully by next week I’ll be able to teach some classes!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
