I kept both heaters on until I went to bed, and sometime during the night I turned the heating unit back on, so for the first time here, I woke up warm and cozy. It made it much easier to get out of bed, let me tell you.
After a leisurely breakfast, I went for a walk, then came back, froze myself again checking email, and exercised a bit to get warmed back up.
I went over to the office in the afternoon to make my jikoshoukai (self-introduction) cards and to talk to people. Hugh made coffee :) and I went over lesson plans with Yukka.
Randy’s class today was ... well... they are 5 boys, about 11 years old. I have no idea how I’m going to handle them because they were impossible for Randy. AHHHH. (And as a model American and representative of UFO Academy, and of the USTF, I cannot yell at them or kick them into submission. Drat.)
Then I ate a quick dinner of gyouza (potstickers), but I cooked them kind of wrong (I forgot what I was doing) but oh well.
I watched one of Brad’s classes, kind of, it’s more as he says warming up the class for Yukka’s lesson, going over vocabulary and stuff.
Last for the day was a private lesson with Miki, the one in the band. That seems pretty fun, as her English is good enough for actual conversation, but it gets out at 10:30 and I have to drive back from Fukui. So it’s late. Past my bedtime.
Goodnight!!!
Copycat. I had gyouza yesterday too. They weren't very good. It was my first time in a Whole Foods.
ReplyDeleteGive the kids some time. I'm sure you'll figure out a way to get them under control. Or if not, you can yell at their parents!
What a busy day, Myra! No wonder you were so tired when Mia spoke to you. I'm sure you'll inspire those 11 year old boys, and bring them around. You'll be just like Anna (and the King)!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you were warm and cozy waking up. This needs to become a regular phenomenon. We've been discussing planning our trip to Japan, and I'm getting excited just thinking about seeing you.
ps Myra and Mia spoke the morning after this busy day.
