Then a lesson with Akiyo out in Itami. She actually did her homework! Our lessons are casual and fun so i don't mind the low pay or travel time but today went extra well for her and i think boosted her confidence in English. She said as much, and that this might encourage her to do more review between our bi-weekly sessions.
And then back downtown for a golf lesson. My back aches now since today we focussed on keeping my spine at a 30 degree angle. yowza. Some serious stretching is in order.
After that, it was a quick pass through home to change and head to dinner with my beautiful wife and our good friend Emi down the street in Tsuruhashi (Korea Town), where we had some elaborate version of chicken soup and, more importantly, an incredibly rich dessert at a famous little dessert place that Ulala tells me has been there since her Dad was in school.
This was dinner:
And THIS was dessert:
Today i left the house at 10:30 and got back at about 10:30. sheesh. But that is how i recharge.
Tonight i am planning a lesson for GaiDai tomorrow that is based on Canada (well, Canadian history, sort of). Nothing exciting, just some reading and discussion. If i teach this course again next semester i will try and infuse more Canadiana into it. This year was really just about getting my bearings and making sure i could cover all that was needed in the course curriculum.
Symian is: running and eating and teaching. Ouch.
