the typical day

i've been meaning to do this for a while now:

I suppose my typical work day begins anywhere from 9-1030 when i get out of bed
(it depends how many times i hit snooze and how much work i have to do before i have my first class)

the usual: shower, breakfast, iron the shirt of the day

then its off to AEON, about a 7 min walk from the apartment

I'm normally the first one to arrive at the school.
My official start time is 12:45p.
I usually arrive anywhere between 10 and 1230

then its time to prepare for lessons, either that day's lessons or the next
depending on the day i have anywhere from 3-7 classes, ranging from 30 min to 50min
usually a healthy mix of kid's lessons and adult's lessons, and it can take up to 40min to prep for a class

then i will either have a class or if i have time i run out to the little market that is about a minute from
work and ill pick up somehting for dinner, or maybe head to Toraya for a little mitarashe dango (sweet rice balls on a skewer)
then its on for the day!

most of my classes go without a hitch, but some of them can be a little rocky
children crying, breaking things, running out of the room, almost wetting themselves... you know, the usual

i usually have a little bit of time between classes to eat, some days more than others
lunch is normally some leftovers from the previous night: egg,onion, garlic sushi rolls, various fish with veg and rice, pasta and tomato sauce, curry rice, maybe some sashimi (thats the raw fish) from the market to go with my rice

then its either start prepping for the next day or another class,

this goes on until about 9 when classes end, then i clean up, take care of attendance files, sometimes help out with random tasks, and i usually leave around 945 and 1030.

then it's home and dinner, typically i dont do work after work, but sometimes ill prep for something
maybe watch a movie, go for a run to the internet cafe, clean, play my ds or study japanese maybe laundry

bedtime is roughly 1-2a
and then i go all over again

right now i spend most of my waking hours doing AEon related tasks, i've also been in every monday so far, which is my day off (i work tues-sat) but that should get better as i settle into things

hope you liked it
