April 22nd through May 20th: A slim summary. in 2016
On April 25th, I had my first class at Rusui. It was once Sam’s school, but now it’s mine. I don’t recollect the specifics, but I rather enjoyed it as I recall. The days prior, don’t stand out...
Placeholder in 2016
An entry is long overdue, however, I don’t have a schedule handy to remember which schools I was at, meaning that I don’t really have the main time marker for what I do with my life. I should fi...
April 18th to 21st Wet, weight, waiting in 2016
Everything is wet. Everything is soaking wet. It’s raining, it’s humid, I never dried from the shower, and I just did part of my indoor walk. I’m literally dripping. Welcome to spring in East...
April 7th through 18th. Dreams, Boredom, Earthquakes, and a Birthday in 2016
I have no memory of anything of note happening on the 7th after completing the entry. The 8th was another dull BOE day. I have no memory of anything of note happening. Overeating and non-exerc...
April 5th through 7th Boredom, Terror, Dread, and Dreams in 2016
The party at Masaaki’s house, on the 5th, was very fun. Much better than I’d anticipated. Sadly, I got there late and took some guff for it. We had tons of food. I brought two bottles of Lamb...
April 4th and 5th in 2016
So, yesterday, the fourth, I wrote an entry that I mislabeled as ending on the third. That having been said, so little happened that it’s not worth altering. After arriving at the BOE at 8:30, I...
March 23rd to April 3rd in 2016
Eikaiwa on the 23rd does not stand out as having been anything significant or important. I’m sure it was, however, entertaining. The 24th saw me attend tea ceremony. I did not, however, end up ...
March 1st through 23th in 2016
Editor’s note: This entry was begun and abandoned incomplete several times, so the tenses change a lot, and very weirdly. Please overlook. Well, the day was as dull as anticipated. The first, ...
February 25th to March 1st in 2016
(Note: Due to a confusion of files, this has some overlap and issues) Well, it’s now March 1st, so, let’s recap what’s happened. On the 24th, I went to Kukino. I came back home feeling awful an...
February 24th and 25th in 2016
February 24th and 25th I feel like February 24th is somehow a big deal. Maybe it’s Niki’s birthday? I don’t remember. Well, oh well. Nothing to do about it now. So, yesterday didn’t go acco...
February 23rd and 24th in 2016
The rest of the school day of the 23rd went about as I expected. A few notebooks, a few test questions, but nothing much of note. I got some more recorded of The Wizard of Oz. Simona is saying...
February 17th through 23rd in 2016
I have no memory of anything that happened of note on Wednesday the 17th. Likely nothing of not happened. February 18th was a pretty okay day. I went with Sam to Shibi elementary. It was a pre...
February 16th and 17th in 2016
Well, yesterday ended up going pretty well. I got all of my flash cards studied, more or less. I gave myself a “review tomorrow” pass on more than I should have, but if I get it wrong too many ...
February 9th to 16th in 2016
Well, it seems that I’ve been away from this far too long. On the 9th, I know that I wasn’t feeling well. I missed part of tea ceremony. I showed up, everything hurt, and I went home. It was j...
February 8th and 9th in 2016
Yesterday was my last day at Tomarino. I spent time with the two girls in 6th grade, and we went over their daily greetings for middle school. I can see why Matsumoto is so critical of the smal...
February 4th through 8th in 2016
I don’t remember much of what happened on Thursday. I didn’t exercise, and I don’t think that I got much sleep. Friday was another rather dull day. I had one class with Matsumoto Sensei. I go...
February 2nd and 3rd in 2016
Well, I got through the day. I, rather boldly, left work two whole minutes early so that I’d have time to rush into my house, change clothes, and go on my walk/job. I made it in quite good time...
January 29th through February 2nd in 2016
Well, the nomikai on Friday was a rousing success. I had a great time. The party was fun. Found out that Matsumoto is either divorced or separated from her husband (I love when I’m let in on g...
Really, I’m losing more and more connections. It’s taken me a long time, but things are breaking down. I feel more and more isolated, more and more out of touch, more and more out of reach. I l...
On this day in 2016
On this day, January 29th, in the US, January 30th in Japan, Amanda got engaged. I’ve mixed feelings to put it mildly. I feel that a book I hadn’t quite finished is now gone forever. So much to...
January 28th-29th in 2016
January 28th and 29th Well, Matsumoto sensei didn’t need me for anything yesterday, which worked well. Though I did have to do a bit more grading. I did get nearly 10K steps in (finished it as ...
January 23rd through 28th in 2016
Saturday the 23rd was a fairly dull day. The only thing that happened of note was my guitar lesson. And the blizzard. I hadn’t been able to practice all week, due to feeling so ill, and was dre...
January 20th-22nd in 2016
The demo at Eshin went well enough. I ganbatte’d it like woah, and I even impressed Matsumoto, which is not a thing that generally happens. Really, though, my teacher was the star. I just foll...
January 19th and 20th in 2016
January 19th and 20th Well, having worked through third period, and ALT’d a class for Inori Sensei, I went home. I was a wreck. I’d barely eaten dinner the night before, and I’d not been able ...
January 15th through 19th in 2016
Friday night I had tea ceremony. It wasn’t particularly good, but it wasn’t particularly bad, which is better than it was for a long time. Nothing’s really changed in class. I’ve mostly change...
