Want I Didn't Need and Just What I Needed
So last night was not a great night. The reason I came to Japan raised its ugly head again. I just wish it would go away, but when I least expect it, it pops up. Still I am glad I came. So last night I had a very restless night, part of it spent staring at ceiling, on the balcony having a cigarette with the cold concrete under foot letting me know that I am human, some more staring at the ceiling and at one point crying, mostly because I felt like such an idiot. Not what I needed.
Today was my second time at the private lesson that I teach, I like this job. There is nothing more liberating than acting like a gorilla in front of a dozen small children and their mothers, it helped me to forget my troubles. Still think it is the easiest money I have earned.
So with that small job done it was off to work, not that I wanted to go. I had my follow up hour to look forward to, and with the mood I was in the smallest comment out of place I would have lost it then and there. However I was pleasantly surprised, my lesson last week went well according to the idiot that observed it and he was happy to report that there had been a major improvement in the last 6 months. I am very happy about it. This means that my contract will more than likely be renewed and I might even get a small pay rise, maybe, depends if they are being stingy. I am very excited about staying here a little longer.
I guess I have had a good day, and my mood was noticeably different from when I arrived at work this morning, but I think that also had something to do with my kids class this morning and at work. Kids are a good tonic when you feel out of sorts.
