This morning the wind and rain from a typhoon woke me up. The wind coming in through my vents and the open part of the building sounded like a tea kettle, angry thumping and a vibrating phone. Traffic was pretty bad, but I made it to work on time (since I don't have a morning class on Thursdays, start time's a little more flexible). Don't worry, I'm not in the middle of a storm, just getting lots of wind and rain from being on the edge of it.
I slept in, so I didn't get my 30 Day Shred workout in before school, but I made a tasty tofu scramble for lunch and a smoothie for breakfast. Good start to the day and there is still time to throw in that 20 minutes of working out.
I'm not going to continue with my private tutoring, I'm apparently not being paid much for it and I really don't have the time. In addition to it being grounds for deportation if any official folks find out. I just don't want to risk it. The kids are great and the parents are nice, but I could be practicing violin in that time.

Woo! Violin! Keep me posted on the Japan trip. If you need funds just call me sugar daddy. Also, quinoa has been purchased and will be sent your way as of Tuesday. ^_^
ReplyDeleteI have a guy in Tokyo who said I can stay on his couch while I'm there, just waiting to hear from the rest of the folks I've contacted. I was looking at maybe doing China again, but the girl I was going to go with is flaky and we need to buy tickets now but I have no idea what she wants to do.
ReplyDeleteViolin hasn't gotten off the ground yet, but I'm working on it.
I will be interested to hear how your time-off explorations go. Couch surfing at temples in Japan sounds pretty novel and intriguing.
ReplyDeleteAlso good to hear that you like the kids you are working with and their parents are nice too. I think it probably makes all the difference in being a teacher.
The person I've been on and off planning things with just bought our ferry tickets to China. So, as long as we can get visas in time, it looks like the original plan to go to China is back on.
ReplyDeleteI've made contacts in Japan (non-temple, but couch surfing) and I still want to go there later.
I won't be able to post while in China, since Blogger and Facebook are both blocked. But, I will make sure to put up photos and blog about the whole thing after I get back.
