Week 6?!

Wow... About 12 more days I'm flying back to Portland, Oregon with 120 college students from Tokyo International University... wow...

I have been truly grateful and lucky to have such thoughtful and loving people in my life. My partner Saud came to visit me!  My first visitor in Japan.  I received a wonderful care package from my dear friend Rosa.  I also received a very touching card from my dear friend Ashley. 

Last week and this week has been super busy.  Some nights I stayed at work in the office until 9 or 10pm.  Tonight was the first night in one week to be home by 7pm!  Only because I had to come home and wait for my package to be delivered. If not I would have probably stayed until 8 or so. Oh my.... Working in Japan is a lot of work!   Especially, piloting a new program, teaching 6 different classes, working English speaking hours, grading, planning lessons, helping students... I may have mentioned this before.... Sorry, if I did. I guess I can't get over how much work there is to do and always more to do and even more added to that!  haha...
