Wow. In my lesson あやな gave me some new verbs and I was able to sometimes quickly conjugate them for the given situation. Nice.

My first day

11:59am JST Friday 12 March 2004

I'm at Jiyugaoko Gaba now; have met Akiko and Marselli (which is her last name, but that's how she introduced herself. Her first name is Hikari, and she'll be off work soon with her new baby!). I've got 5 lessons today, which isn't as many as I had hoped, but it's all good.

Three (3!) students chose me as their instructor. I don't know if I know them from Nova or what, but that's money. Or a misclick.

My number of lessons has swelled to 7. It was 8, but then it shrank; a student cancelled on someone else's schedule so mine got moved over (??) I think that's how it happened, cause I'm the low guy on the totem pole. There's a cat named Simon who's worked here for 3 weeks, so maybe that's when I'll get moved up a notch.

Everyone has been friendly and cool.

11:40pm

Finished. Well, I finished at 10. I had 7 students, including 6 women. Yay for that. One woman was a computer person and said her shoulders were sore, so I told her some ways to keep from straining them so much while keyboarding. Taught her proper keyboarding posture. Didn't have enough time to tell her about stretching her wrists and such every hour.

I don't have work tomorrow. I'll use that time to see why I don't seem to get internet access at the new apartment, take the camera to Yodobashi camera, unpack my junk, and one more thing I think but I've forgotten it for now.
