an update

hello.

tis been a long time since i have updated here.

life has been somewhat busy recently.



i am loving osaka.

i cant tell whether its because i have a friend here. or whether the people are nicer.

i have a feeling its a mixture of the two....



it is so hot. like death.

i am working at various places. and meeting various people.



i am cleaning the guest house i am staying at.
that is a few hours everyday.

i am officially an english teacher.
which is a crazy strange thought...

i like the lessons where i dont have to plan.

on thursday, my lessons were both private. and my boss told me they wanted to learn about specific things.
it was so hard to come up with a lesson. especially using all the formal terms etc.
one of the lessons was on tense. so i focused on the past tense.
explaining the difference between past, past progressive, past perfect and past perfect progressive is ridiculous.
to a person who doesnt have the best english.

and answering their questions of 'why??' is so confusing.

because im not a hundred percent of why myself.

today, i had two lessons again. but no requirements.
prior to work starting, i felt really nervous. like i couldnt do it. that i didnt want to do it.
but when i got there it was fine.


i like the lack of planning. and the flexibility.


although, sometimes, i think my life would be easier if there was a curriculum.

but its fine.
i am smiling after todays lesson. so its good.


although, that could be to do with other things......

i am also employed at an eikaiwa. but i dislike it.
alot. there are many reasons.
but i semi feel bad for not telling them i dont want to work there. so i cant.
instead, i ignore their calls.

i am a bad employee. (but only here).


my other job. the funnest job.
is working at a standing bar, in the slums of japan.
its so fun!
the people are friendly, master is so generous, we recently got a kitten

i work 5nights a week, from 6pm till about 2am.
so its like a full time job.

but its good. a good job.
and i am happy.


i have met lovely people. so its good.


all is good.


i am continuing to explore on bicycle. and have adventures in the middle of the night after work. so its good. its happy.

happy happy happy

good good good




i dont want to go home!
