I'm Not Dead Yet

Contrary to popular belief, I'm not quite dead. I am in fact, merely very tired. I just got back from a field trip and didn't have 'Net access. I can post from my cell phone, but I haven't actually set that up yet.

Anyway, I have 520 or so pictures to sort through and a presentation and a quiz tomorrow, so I can't write anything significant tonight.

Laziness Strikes

I'm not doing anything this weekend, so I was thinking about wandering around and taking pictures some more, but I don't really know anywhere to go.

Well, I'm not doing anything that I haven't already done. Today.
Judo, for example, is done for today, and that leaves me with ten hours to kill, and then tomorrow as well. I'm trying to meet some people who don't work on the weekends, but I think almost everyone does.

Oh! I managed to get a thing that's like a job. Sort of. Except it doesn't require a working visa, I think, as it's through the school. The job is to be a native English speaker. And... that's about it.
It's only once a week for three hours, but they pay $9.50 an hour, so it's pretty decent, especially given the workload.

The class is a Chinese and English class, where the students work on translating from English to Chinese with no middle Japanese step. There's a Chinese girl who's working as my opposite, but I suspect her Japanese is much better than mine.

It's time for food, but I don't know what I'm going to eat. It might be time to see if I can convince Chise to show me how to cook something new.
