At the
university, this week is something like an orientation, with regular classes
starting next week. Ted has a weekend
camp-in or retreat with all of the Outdoor Life students and professors.
Outdoor Life is a small, close knit department with the older students helping
and looking out for the younger students, who in turn do the same when they get
to be the older students. This weekend event is spent doing team building and
getting acquainted activities.
In
addition to my part time university English job, I have another part time job
at an English School. I’m teaching two
children’s classes one afternoon a week starting this past week. The three hours went very quickly and it was
really fun. I’ll probably be telling you more about this as time goes on.
There
were two new people in my Japanese class this week, one from China and one from
Bangladesh, and the teachers have traded levels. I can imagine teaching
beginning Japanese is pretty trying and they have to change out from time to
time.
Ted was
interviewed by a reporter for the local newspaper last week and they just
printed his picture and the story. I
think you need to know 2000 kanji to read the newspaper, so I’ll probably never
be able to read this.

I do hope all continues to go well with your teaching classes.
Thanks for posting the article about Ted. I think in snow such as you have there I would rather be indoors with my stitching than out in the cold!!
