Frustrating but...










I wish it had happened next month... I have to finish writing reports by next Monday!
It doesn't make sense for me, but somehow I've got to manage private lessons from last week. The reason is that the man who was in charge caused so many troubles with students and teachers. Firstly he doesn't check each teacher's availability. He doesn't even see the school timetable! And he made so many doublebookings. He often forgets what students asked for the lesson... one of the new colleagues says he is Mr. April fool!Anyway, it's so annoying to take over his job because the way he manages this work is the one which just only he can understand! It's so frustrating, but the job itself is not so demanding, but rather so challenging- I'd like to think it that way.

Free service

My bicycle was almost getting flat, so I went to Olympic Shopping center by bicycle (I used it to the limit!) to buy a pump. Then I found that there were some pumps in front of the store which anybody could use it. How lucky!

After that I went to Koishikawa library to borrow some books for reports of sociology, western history and physical education. I had reserved some books on the internet before I went there, so I could borrow them as soon as I arrived there. It was the first time for me to reserve books on the net. It's so useful and convenient!

Still Blistering Day

I was awoken by the earthquake this morning. Aren't there so many earthquakes these days? Finally the piles of packs in the fridge in which I put Goya Cyanpuru and others I cook at once were out, I have to cook something from now. Yesterday after work, I was so tired but I went to a farmer's cooperative store nearby the station to buy cabbage, fried tofu, boiled and dried baby sardines (Chirimen Jyako), beansprout, pork, egg, cucumber and others. But there were no beansprout and cucumber. Then I went to Hanamasa supermarket near my shareflat to buy them because it opens 24 hours. But I couldn't find them again! I was so exhausted.

Last Day in Hiyoshi

Yesterday I had a test of literature. In spite of it, I met with my friend to have dinner after work the day before yesterday. So I didn't prepare for it enough, but I could manage it, I guess.
This summer I take 3 classes; psychology, literature and sociology. 2 class are held in Hiyoshi, and 1 class is held in Mita. Yesterday was the last day I had go there. These days my schedule has been so tight. Right away after the class, I rushed to the station to get on the train. And I had only 5 minutes to go to the office from Suidobashi station! It was really hard for me to run in this sweltering hot days.

Hectic Morning


These days I bring lunch everyday. I don't have a lunch box, so I just use Tupperware. I have to leave home at 7:20 a.m. , so I always cook a meal around 6 a.m. I cook meals of 3 or 4 days at once, but yesterday I made too much. I'm wondering I could eat the whole things I cook yesterday by myself this week.

After so long

I used to read The Japan Times everyday because I got it at work for free. I changed my job and now I can get 3 materials at work for free each month, so I make a rule to read them.

I found the interview of Mr. Azuma on this week's Shukan St. He is a member of Toastmasters Club and I went to hear his speech in May. I remember his speech was so moving and I was deeply impressed. I want to visit a Toastmasters Club somewhere in Tokyo after I finish the summer schooling.
