November 30, 2000 - Thursday
Today was quiet, but a bit productive. Two of my classes didn't show up, so I did
some prep work for classes that don't always get it. I also finally made a couple
of Classroom English signs for my room.
The classes that did happen today went quite well. I taught the same basic topic
in two classes. That was kind of fun...ordering in a restaurant. The role plays
were a hoot. For one class I played a gum-chewing waitress who called her customers
"Honey". That was fun.
I went to the Authent Hotel's bakery for my breakfast. I do like their quiche. I
also had a cheese croissant.
Lunch I just decided I'd had enough of the office and went out to the tonkatsu restaurant
in Nagasakia. It was nice for a change.
When I got home tonight it took a long time for my apartment to warm up...it's so
cold in here. I can't believe it. I had been told when I moved up here that the
gas heaters were really good, but I'm afraid I just don't see it. It takes hours
to get anything near warm here. My lovely kerosene heater in Tsuruoka would get me warm quite
quickly.
Speaking of Tsuruoka, I got a call from there tonight. They were having a party and
I got to speak to my friend Pamella...in Japanese! It was quite funny.
And that's about it. Tomorrow at work it should be fairly quiet I think. I have
to get most of Saturday's lesson's planned. Later, eh!
