No concept of time.

It's July? Almost mid-July? I had no idea. I mean, I could tell you the date if I had to--I date stuff at work--but it doesn't really sink in. The weather is foreign again, and all the indications of summer just aren't here. No humidity...
(here I walked away, found a couple of those summer bells that disappointingly don't have very nice chimes, and hung them in my bathroom, because there are unused hooks in the bathroom)
no summer icons (goldfish, tea commercials with clinky ice, suika bars...), zaru udon (although I tried today, I didn't try hard enough, and just had lukewarm udon), ice cold green tea (I should really just make my own...), no hellish classes to teach...wait what? Grr.
I keep fighting it, wishing I was meant for grander things, but I really think I need to be a teacher. I crave the school year patterns, the crapload of interaction, hell, the lesson plans too. Or maybe I just crave the familiarity of it, and I miss the intense buzz of students. Uhhuh.
I'm done with this entry. I keep getting up to do other things. Like right now, I'm trying to brew enough genmaicha (brown rice tea) for a thermos with only a small tea strainer.
G might be home in 12 days! That's insane!

you know, i totally miss the "routine" of a school year..the socializing, the good students...but do you think it has anything to do with the fact that we've spent a good portion of our lives in various schools? Maybe it's just comfortable because it was the centre of our lives for so long..

woohoo! soon, you will get G back. we will miss him on this side of the ocean, though.
and i would like a break from school. i feel completely sapped today. i did 20 logic games today, in between teaching classes, and only the first 10 were fun. something must be wrong with me if even doing logic games doesn't make me happy.
