AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH.
...that is all.
(will I survive tomorrow? Only time will tell.)
(sorry about the lack of posting as of late. Life's been - life. Chaotic and beautiful and hurtling by at breakneck speed. I'd turtle if I could but that seems a luxury reserved for my ichinensei guys as they fall asleep during school assemblies.)
...and damn but is it cold outside!

- there are no right angles in my life -
Oh, freedom of speech. ♥
I kid, but everyone on this programme is supposed to be mature enough to be teaching children (in any case, we do so) - so the reminder rubbed me the wrong way. Yes, we are public servants; yes, our position is enviable and honestly amazing; yes, we are highly visible foreigners, but we are adults, and we generally know when we're being idiots.
On the upside, the mid-year seminar (!) went well, particularly Thursday's discussions... I think a good number of interesting/decent/useful points were raised. Less certain about today's progress but I was in one of five groups so I'm sure that the output balances out. ...okay, so I'm sore over not seeing the presentation involving zombies and prodigal running shoes, that's all. But in this moment, I'm still in a happy food coma from scallops served on the half shell and amazing spareribs and padh thai and chai brulee and mango sorbet... mmm, Sanuk. You continue to impress, and my company for dinner was equally excellent.
That's all, I think - looking forward to the complete lack of alarms set to get me up tomorrow morning and off to read One Hundred Years of Solitude which is wordy but lovely so far.
Cheers. ^^
