Down To The Wire
I went up the hill this morning; I don’t usually do that on Friday, but I thought it would be better to print off more copies of my “food handout” on the office laser printer than deal with the old lady at the stationary store. I also figured I should probably check my email this morning; just a feeling. It turned out there was nothing special business-wise happening in email. Ptuny has returned from her art-show experience, so I’ll have some chatting to do Saturday morning. I printed off my handouts and got back to the apartment pretty early.
When noon rolled around, I rode to the station, bought my lunch at the big station, and rode on the rest of the way to Fukuyama. I passed Marc coming out as I went in to the classroom and then the bell rang; time to begin! I then went through exactly the same routine as Tuesday, and it went just as smoothly. This lesson took exactly the right amount of time in all four classes with three different age levels. This is one to go in the “for future use” file. I think even the teacher understood it all this time.
Then I walked back to the station, rode home, and bought the usual at the carryout. Pretty much just like Tuesday only warmer. It was 51 degrees here today. It was still cloudy and gloomy in Mordor— I mean Fukuyama, but at least it wasn’t freezing and windy this time. According to the weather forecast, it’s going to be cold all next week, so this is about as good as it gets.
Its Friday again; another week down. Let’s summarize what the future holds. Next week will be just like this week; Fukuyama on Tuesday and Friday, although there won’t be a High School class on Tuesday. Then I will do the usual Hiroshima stuff on Wednesday. That’s it for my regular schedule. Junior High school will be done for me as of next Friday. I have one more time each class. Wednesdays will continue as always until the day before I go home. Basically, I have one more “normal” week until everything falls apart, the beginning of the end.
Almost Done, But New Classes Still Coming
I have a new set of classes running from March 3rd through 8th, every day. This will involve two classes, which I think run from 11:00 to 1:00 or so. At least I’ll be getting home in the daytime. These new classes are also in the great garden spot of Japan, a.k.a. Fukuyama. If there is a “regular” teacher for that class, I haven’t met him/her yet, so I am not entirely sure what’s going to be involved yet. I do have a set of handouts that were given to me a couple of weeks ago.
Couch Potato Me
But I digress. Anyway, I ate my dinner in front of the TV, watching Harry Potter 2. Yes, I really am THAT bored. I watched Robocop the other night as well. I guess I’ll get the next episode of LOST tomorrow. Afterwards, it was blog time. It’s currently around 8:00 and I want to get some special writing done for another project. Tomorrow will be library day as usual for Saturday. Next Saturday will be my last free Saturday, so that schedule will also have to change.
