Just got back from Kadoya, a restaurant two blocks from my apartment. I think it has a gaijin-beckoning machine in it, 'cause every Yabuzuka ALT ever seems to have been a regular there. Anyway, it was a TON of fun 'cause I just spoke in Japanese for two straight hours, which I haven't had a chance to do much since I came here. I love my gaijin, but it was fun to have a more Japanese experience. And good Japanese practice, too! It is hard to make friends when you move to another place, let alone in another country. Then you have to be weary if they're gaijin collectors (friends with you 'cause you're a "cool foreigner"), etc. So it was nice to talk to the owner, a customer, and Nacchan (owner's daughter) and not worry about them being big weirdos. Hehe.
Work went well today, but I taught the same exact lesson for four hours in a row to 1nensei students, and it was surprisingly exhausting.
Not so amused, as I have to do a shitload of shougakkou prep. tonight for tomorrow's lessons, as they changed the lessons after I made lesson plans. Time to ganbaru!
