April 2, 1998
Today is another 6 lesson day. A few more and I'll get used to them!
It's rainy & miserable now, but at least the snow from this morning has gone.
Sakata classes went well yesterday & I got tons of work done. Yay!
Gotta go....another lesson to plan.
PS I'm halfway done- 3 lessons taught, 3 to go!

Today was strange! I had two classes cancel and a bunch of my Thursday classes will
probably cancel too. I did get some planning done, so that's good.
Classes went okay, except in one class everybody was late so I only got about half
done and in another we ran out of time. Funny how that happens.
Today's weather was gorgeous. I look forward to Spring. It's my second favourite
season.
I'm off home now.

Yesterday, two classes cancelled. I knew about it ahead of time...or I would have
felt really upset.
Head office offered to move me to another school if I wasn't happy with the split
teaching. I said no! I've made a commitment to a lot of my students that I will
be here for them.
Yesterday's classes were fine. Now, I have to plan todays!

Today's lessons went really well. I got a ton of work done too. Yeah!
Megumi and I redid the board in Tsuruoka. We still have to finish it.
Friday nights party was a blast. I had such a great time! We talked in English all
night. Good practice for my students, fun for me!

Sakata's classes went well. I had 100% attendance which is terrific.
In F-2 we started talking about describing cities...I think it will be a fun unit.
F-1 we finished up the animal unit. It was quite interesting.
I planned Friday's lessons too, so that I could teach R*** and we could have a panic
free meeting!
Today I have five classes, but I think they'll be fun.
Weather is nice today...first time in a couple of days.
Called the Canadian Embassy yesterday about my tax forms. Bleck! I thought doing
taxes in
Canada was complicated - try doing it outside of Canada!

I left my diary/journal in Sakata, so haven't written in a bit.
Taxes were not fun. Sigh. I'm now broke. Double sigh.
Still haven't decided what to do for Golden Week. I keep changing my mind.
Things to do-
April 23, 1998
I redecorated my room in Sakata - put up city pictures & took down the art ones.
Classes went well, except I forgot to photocopy something for the Atlas C class.
Silly me.
Today I put up the Art pics in Tsuruoka. Soon we'll be doing Art in some of the classes.
I really enjoy this Art Unit. :-)
Later....
