Hello everyone
Nice to hear from you all during the week. Hope everyone had a nice Easter last weekend, and for those Aussies and New Zealanders I am emailing this week, its ANZAC DAY this Tuesday. An important day for me, to remember my pop George Nuss!
Anyway, I had another hectic week this week. Although as everyone keepstelling me its better to be busy tha idle.
Last Monday and Tuesday I had uni from 9am - 5pm and then I taught English both nights to a private student. She is studying really hard with her English, even though it doesn't always make sense!! On Tuesday evening we had another wine party here with my housemates. We all buy a bottle of wine and some snacks and just chat about anything really. I enjoy it, and its always great to be able to debate in another language.
On Tuesday I also had an interesting lecture on Social Development, and Itake another class called International Organisations & Japan which focusses mainly on the United Nations. I really love those subjects and they have got me even more interested into the workings and trappings of the UN.
On Wednesday Kazuya had the day off, and I did too so we went for a longwalk (about 2 hours) and tired ourselves out! I had to teach English at theYY School in the afternoon and so I had a lesson with 2 small kids. Theytried really hard and made the lesson enjoyable!
Thursday uni dominated my schedule with classes from 9am - 4pm. My lastlecture was a gruelling 2 hour speil on European Integration and ForeignPolicy! As if thats not a mouthful!! Enjoyed the lecture, apart from thelecturer who is about 200 kilos and kept wiping his forehead from sweat!!Thursday evening I had another private student who I teach English too.Raking the money in!!
Friday I raced around the countryside, to an early lecture at 10am which Iconsidered too easy for me - Japanese Grammar actually, so I took aplacement test after the class and got bumped up a level. Good news. I came back to Shinkoiwa and taught two English lessons at the YY School before travelling 2 hours north to Hachiouji to visit a friend's place for dinner.He had been asking me for ages to visit him, so I kept my promise!I eventually made the return trip after dinner and got home at 1am!!!!Exhausted.
Yesterday and today have been spent catching up on homework and a bit of Japanese study. I have a presentation to give this week on "Tokyo's Trains and the Rush Hour!" and then a debate on Tuesday about whether we need the United Nations or not. Of course I am arguing the affirmative!!
Now I am about to go and teach another student, so I better get going.Take care everyone and say in touch.
Tim!
