I was just told that this year my school will not be teaching English but rather "international communication" based on an initiative from the mayor and all my warmups need to be communication focused.
This is..oh boy.
Today we will learn communication through body language!
Well it's still going to be all in English, because English is the international language, or so their reasoning goes.
But like, communication is like pulling teeth from students here, never mind that like, the actually teachers of English here aren't capable of communicating in English for the most part. And then the high school entrance exams my students have to pass to have a future in Japan don't test communication at all.
seems legit
Pretty happy I decided not to recontract.
Being able to think "only 4 months" is quite nice right now.
This is going to be one drunk flight. But apparently we'll finally be boarding in fifteen minutes. HURRAY
two more beers? two more beers.
That is exactly what happened when the announcement came. A mad bleary eyed panic to drink more. Calm down gents, they have booze on the plane that is just as free.
Actually, I bet I can't have champagne in pleb class. FUCK.

I team teach, and being the not-Japanese half of the team, I have no authority.
I love when people walk around with their guns pointed up in the air
A few months ago I was at a cafe where a shooting happened. I looked out the window at one point and saw some guy dressed as a cowboy wandering around outside with a holstered gun at his side. SO tasteless. I wasn't afraid that he was going to start shooting people or anything, but people died right AT that spot... just..ugh!
Watch your back. Shoot straight. Conserve ammo. And never, ever, cut a deal with a dragon.

okay so here is the recipe for Simon's Stupendous Summertime Or Whatevertime Granola (patent pending)
(makes about 10 serves so it is a big batch also you get metric measurement deal with it)
400g rolled oats
3tbsp sunflower seeds
3 tbsp seasame seeds
2 tbsp linseed
100g almonds (I get the pre-chopped kind so I don't have to chop 'em myself)
100g macadamias (or pecans or walnuts or hazelnuts listen you're a strong and independent woman don't let a man tell you how to make your own goddamn granola)
100g shredded coconut (I usually get the moist flakey kind instead of the little shreds)
pinch o' sea salt
4 tbsp honey or maple syrup, honey is more potent in flavour
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
200g dried fruits of your choice (I mix blueberries, craisins and raisins together personally but see above re: letting me tell you what to do with your own goddamn granola)
Heat oven to 150 degrees C
Toss dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl
Warm the honey and oil until just melted in a pan, then pour over dry ingredients and toss well
Bake for thirty minutes, shuffle everything around once or twice during
Remove from oven, allow to cool, add dried fruits, and store
take photo and include a melon bear for scale
enjoy and please remember that all uses of Simon's Stupendous Summertime Or Whatevertime Granola incur a 10% skim off the top that can be mailed directly to me
Interview went okish though in spite of hangover so that is good. Also the job I actually kinda sorta want posted openings today so I applied for that as well which would be a 14k/year raise instead of an 8k/year raise
how do you guys deal with the crushing angst of existence
do you think i just need anti-anxiety meds
I'm not sure anti-anxiety meds would help with the crushing angst of existence.
I'm on meds for anxiety, and I don't think that my existence has gotten less angsty.
I have fewer episodes of panic and I don't walk around all day constantly afraid.

You don't need liquor to tell you otherwise... though I understand if you want to go that route...
you can tell it's the dystopian future cuz none of them can afford clothes

I don't see any visible chrome, so might be a physical adept. Who are useful for punching fuse boxes and spirits.
