I’m feeling quite busy already. I have school, then my evening classes, cooking classes, and a bunch of other things to do this month. I was asked to do a speech about (?) in Japanese for a group of people who belong to International group of the town I live in. It’s for an hour to an hour and a half. Let me say again, in Japanese! I can’t really say no as the person who is running that committee has asked my husband’s uncle to ask me. (I’m not that good at saying no in the first place.) It’s scheduled for the 30th of September. I guess I should look at it more positively and think of it as a good chance to study. When I came to school, though, I realized that I have to be at school that day for the Culture Festival. Now I have to try and get in touch with the person running it and tell her that I can’t do it. I have a feeling that she’s not going to be very happy with me, but work is work. (We also have school the next day, Sunday, too, so I am really feeling busy.)
And then there’s another day in October that I have to teach/lecture citizens of this area for an hour. I’m very happy that it’s a one time thing. (And it’s in English!)
I am sure that the little guy wasn’t happy to be going back to daycare today. I sent him one day last week as I had to teach and do teaching like things all day. He cried when we got there and cried when he saw the teacher and the other kids. I felt so bad for him. I really wanted to cry myself. When I left this morning he was saying that he wanted to be with me and he didn’t want to go to daycare. What can I say-I didn’t want to come to school either. Oh well.
Before this ends up being another negative post, I enjoyed my summer and spending time with Hiroki. He spent lots of time with his cousins, and lots of time watching Tom and Jerry. It’s funny that he likes it so much.
I also tried making a few new things. One was pumpkin pudding (we were given a lot of pumpkin/squash). It was good and not too labour intensive.
Plus the cooking classes, I am glad that I signed up for them. It’s nice to be learning something (double for me-language and cooking) and nice to go there and meet new people. I am looking forward to doing more. The good thing is that I can sign up for a class whenever I want to, it’s not a set time every week. I can also choose the menu for the cooking part but the bread is in a special order.
So that’s fun, too.
Well, should go now, I’ve got to teach the next class.
Edited to add-I just got off the phone with MIL. She said that Hiroki was fine until he got to the daycare and as he got closer and closer, he started to cry. Poor little guy. He was crying about wanting me and saying he wanted to phone me. The only way my MIL could leave was to get the teacher to hold him. I hope he gets used to going back again.
