Dream

7:04am JST Saturday 10 January 2004

In a restaurant type thing in Japan with a new kind of wasabi being served, that was kinda like soupy wasabi. I requested some so I could taste it and the guy didn't give it to me immediately. I assumed he was lookng for a container to put it in but he went over and talked to another employee to confer with her and while I was waiting for the result, I woke up.

Hot chocolate

8:52am JST Saturday 10 January 2004

I bought hot chocolate from Doutor this morning (after a student was like, "I work at Doutor on Saturday mornings," but she wasn't there) and the large size was smaller than the large size at Starbucks. I thought maybe this was a good chance for the little guy to outdo Starbucks, but.. no.

The cashier spoke English to me (price and "for here or to go" and "do you want it in a bag?") but I didn't compliment her on it. I intend to compliment English-spoken customer service by Japanese.

Work

9:27pm JST Saturday 10 January 2004

Super busy at first. Four students, then four students then 2 or 3 and it got easier after work but then I had two students suddenly added to my last class and I couldn't find one of the files so I couldn't plan the lesson properly and I ended up just chatting with each of them, which is kinda bad because one of the students is new to 川崎, a level 6 doctor from Kyushu.

I hung out talking to Erik about computer stuff (giving him advice on internet access for his new (used) laptop) and then kept on hanging out to wait for Morag to finish her lessons.

I pointed out 裕子 to Morag and then we rode the bus home.

Ate and now I'm going to bed bed bed.

I'll call janette real quick.
