I have been remiss in updating my LJ.
Its not that's anything bad has been happening. It has been a fairly busy week with some paperwork to be handled for NYU and some for Japan. I have been waiting for some paperwork from a few companies and I finally received them on Monday and was able to finish the documents.
The documents for Japan were supposed to have been done about 2 months ago. I sent them to my supervisor in the end of April but they never got there. It turns out that I did not put the address. Now the weird thing is: I've done it a few times and the mail always got there. In fact, when some people wrote to me when I lived in Kanagawa Japan, they wrote Tokyo Japan and I still got the mail. I mean Japan is not a small country and Tokyo and Kanagawa, while next to each other, are as different as Ontario and Quebec.
I have to now go through all my boxes down in the basement and lose about 1/3 of them or more. I think it will be easier than I think. In my mind I have already organized the cleaning. I decided that nearly all my teaching info will be thrown away. I may keep one or two of the history books, just as mementos but really, I don't think I will ever end up back in the classroom, at least not in the context that I was before. In my head, I can see all the things that will be gone, gone, gone from the basement. A lot of it will be clothing. Talking to JP today he made me realize that I should just be more ruthless than I planned.
It is about 10 or 11 weeks before I depart for NYU. There is much to do and I am looking forward to it as much as I am fearful. Anyways, enough about that.
Was thinking about having a small get together for some of my close friends. But the window to do that is closing and the worse part is, I don't know what I am doing on any given week from now till leaving.
