January 12, 2001 - Friday
Today was a cold day. Really quite cold for Japan. It was -11 on the way to work,
-9 on the way home.
I ate my rice this morning and then headed off for work. It was difficult because
they were clearing the roads. I had to stand off at the side while the grader and
a truck went by. A lot of the places were easier to walk with less snow.
Work was fine today. I had a new student but neither of us were nervous so it worked
out well. My other classes went well too.
I spent a lot of time at work looking at a student's photo's of her trip to Britain.
It was interesting seeing places that I love from someone else's perspective. I also received 2 pieces of mail today. A Christmas Card and a Christmas/New Year letter, so that was quite nice.
After work I came home and tried to thaw my apartment. The landlord had asked me
to turn off the water before I left for work, I did, but my apartment wasn't below
zero or anything. It's still darn cold.
I just finished watching Ally McBeal and in a few minutes I'll be going off to bed.
I'm trying to decide how to stay warm tonight. Sigh.
