Disorientated

Feels like ive been blindfolded and turned so many corners now that when it comes off im not sure if ill be competing in a spelling bee, about to be eaten by canibals, naked in front of my grade 4 class or waiting in a dentists chair.

I found out today i am going to have to spend my last day in japan waiting for no less than 3 utility men to come around. After that I am going to see Mogwai. That will be my last night in Japan. I will be flying out the next morning at some ridiculous hour that seemed reasonable 4 months ago.

Work has not found a replacement for me. Either this is the truth or head office do not want me training a new member of staff and believe it's more important that the new teacher be told how to sell GEOS lessons and sign up new students than they actually know anything about the 120 students they will be taking over from me.

So whoever they get, they wont know that Kouji will most likely not come in the room for a new teacher, they wont know that Shioris mum makes her 5 year old study English for two hours a day , they wont know that all you need to go to keep Hinata happy is give her a stamp every page she turns, they wont know that Aimi never sees her Dad , they wont know that kengo is the greatest dancer and about the nicest young man they will ever meet, they wont know that Sumire is about to have a baby sister and wears a different hat each week. They wont know any of these things at first but they will and I hope they enjoy finding out it out. It would be sad if they didnt.
