So normally I have two classes each on Monday and Tuesday, at different schools, rotating each week for a total of eight different schools a month (then repeat). But today, one of those classes was cancelled due to swine flu—it’s a big deal over here, people wear masks all the time (and oh yeah, we have to too while we’re at work, which is not only hot and annoying but completely asinine, considering we’re paid explicitly to help kids pronounce English correctly, which is impossible to do through a mask—but I digress). Anyway, classes keep getting cancelled at their public schools, which translates into absent students and entire cancelled classes for us (we’re an after school juku, or “cram school,” for those who don’t know).
So one of my classes was cancelled, which is pretty nice. And I got some new speakers, which is also a plus, and a tambourine too. On the negative side, however, my computer no longer seems to read my USB ports at all, and has trouble even performing basic operations. Which means I may lose this entire log if my computer can’t hold out another month, when my internet kicks in, or the USB ports don’t come back online. Cross your fingers!
On an unrelated note, Japan is now celebrating Christmas. This means mangled light displays and Christmas music at various malls. And I thought America started early! I guess without Halloween or Thanksgiving in the way, might as well start now…
