Cooperation

Yesterday was good. REALLY HOT THOUGH!! August will be killer in terms of heat.

I woke up and had a good workout at the gym. Always makes for a good start of the day. Then I made my way to work, and was sweating too much after my short 5 minute trek. whew!

Anywho, I have noticed that I have really been liking my Thursdays in terms of the classes I teach. I always see most of my favorite people on Thursday. The mom of one of my little molesters was in my first class and she is really good at speaking and always makes me laugh cause she is so damn cool. The class was about talking to strangers and I posed the question; "do you normally talk to strangers?" She said: "Oh yeah, I do . . . cause I'm Obasan (old lady)." So funny! Not only is it funny, but really encouraging that she is comfortable enough with me to be so relaxed and forthgiving when talking bout herself. yay >_<

My second class was the biggest class I have ever taught here so far. It had 7 people in it and they were all women. YEAH WUT!? It was a beginner class, so teaching it was kinda tricky and some of the usual students of the class got shy since there were so many people. It went well enough though, and there were plenty of laughs. It was a succes after all, but I do need to get better bout being creative when it comes to beginner classes. Like this class, all the rest went well and I "chatted it up with a lot of the students and even gave some music to one who had been asking about the type I like and interested in what I told them. I really like the Thursday crowd!

After work was cool to. I went with all but one of our staff to this amazing Nepal style curry place. From this moment on, I will refer to it as "Everest Cafe" (its name). Hanging with the Japanese staff was cool and relaxing and the food was amazing as usual. I have been there so much already that they hook me up with free rashi (yogurt drink) everytime I show up. Good stuff.

Thus, I went to bed a very happy camper. I then woke up early and caught up on basically everything having to do with keeping in touch and on top of persona ish. Life is good and I will be low stress at work today. There one minor problem though . . . I am starting to hear secadas. They better keep quiet at night!

Alrights, gotta go or i'll be late!

Peace!
