Parting of the Ways

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

The training part of my contract is winding down now, and starting tomorrow people will be leaving for their various teaching positions. I still have no idea where I will live, but the good news is that at least I now know WHEN I will be leaving. That’s on Saturday morning, which means I have […]

The Suffering Continues

Monday, March 28th, 2005

Ok I am being melodramatic, its not so bad. We have training everyday from 9am onwards (at least its not 8am or 7am) and usually some amount of things to do afterward. For example, yesterday after training finished I had to meet with the salesman for the school I will teach in. I didn’t really […]

Last Day of Leisure

Friday, March 25th, 2005

Today is my last day of taking it easy. I start the training tomorrow morning at 9am. I am in the Asakusa Cntral Hotel now, man was it hard to get all my stuff here. I felt really bad because Maie and Yorito had to help me and it was such a pain because I […]

Wednesday, March 16th, 2005

I just had one of the most frustrating experiences I have had in a LONG time. I am still shaking with rage. My dad purchased a phone card for me to use from Japan to call home (usually very cheap, this one is 10 cents a minute). Thing is, you have to call the customer […]

Anticipation

Tuesday, March 8th, 2005

The days are winding down, and it seems like I have more and more things to think about, and to do. I have to still put my car up for sale. That in itself involves cleaning it out and fixing up the slightly scratched bumper, not to mention just figuring out exactly how I am […]
