Stuff

Talking to Shoko a bit about riding my (as yet non existant) bike from here to Osaka. I could stop in coffee shops and offer to teach English along the way.

Work

Jen thinks I'll be able to work for her uncle in September.

In the past two days, I have gotten 2 new students (3 consecutive hours per week) via Gateway 21, at 2500 yen per hour plus travel expenses from each student. So I get double travel reimbursement. Awesome.

Gaba was aight tonight. Saw Miyuki (not the same Miyuki with whom I climbed Fuji (fuck, I still gotta get that entry completed, but with the girl here, I am distracted) two weeks ago) but she didn't have my class. It's okay though; it was a red booking (she didn't choose her instructor). (didn't not choose me.)

I rearranged a few braincells for a few students today. Taught a student how not to say "I like the area because there is my favorite hotel," but instead "I like the area because my favorite hotel is there," [ After some consideration, I realized he was using "there is" to mean あそこ as opposed to ある, which are the different meanings of "there is" and "is there" in the sentences above. ]

She came back to drop off my umbrella tonight and though she said she would leave, she didn't. I pulled out for her the foam mattress thing that Jen/Karen returned to me tonight. She seems to be zonked now.

My fan hasn't been working on my computer, and I decided today to figure out why. I think I know the main reason: it's not plugged in. I'm really surprised that they at Apple Store didn't notice.

I'm also surprised that I don't remember the last time they had my computer apart. Must have been a long time ago.

1:16am

Fan works now. And it's spinning fast.
