Brian's Japan Adventure

You might wonder what I’m doing now that TEFL courses are done, but it’s not time to leave yet. Well, I still have a couple of those TEFL projects to work on, but those are on the back burner at least until the weekend. As of Monday, I started a course on Memoir Writing. I still need credit for one more course, and this class was the only one available in the time I have available to me. The whole thing is very intensive, with very long classes every day. The upshot is that the whole thing is done in just two weeks!  The fact that it just might be useful in documenting my future travel stories is purely coincidental, but nice nevertheless.

So anyway, I have to write a memoir piece every night, and a few special essays over the weekend. I also have to submit stuff to magazines and contests, but I won’t know all the details about that until next week.  To be honest, Monday night I didn’t have a clue about what to write, but by tonight, I already have a list of stuff that could make good topics. The real trick is just getting started.  Once I got past the hurdle of not having a topic, the rest is fun. I’ve found that even the stupidest little incidents can be retold in an entertaining light.

I still have to squeeze in the last two TEFL projects somewhere and finish my Independent Paper and Learn Japanese and prepare for my trip and buy suitcases and a whole mess of other stuff in the next two weeks, but I’m getting there.
