Closer and closer.....

Nearly There.....

Sundayitis is upon me.... the hot sweat of iminent teaching and learning.
combined with even hotter sweat of preparation for overseas travel very soon....

I am busy sorting money, and the lack of it, for what will be two households over the coming months. This is a tickling worry at the pit of my stomach. I am however positive that money worries will not impinge on meeting my goals and experiencing the life fully in Japan.

As well as sorting travel and money, I have been busy writing a student's report and am in the middle of a Board Report in consultation with some others! Phew.... Just planning, organising some gifts for Japan and more planning to go, and we will be able to leave the country!

私は　今日は　とても　忙しい　ですよ。

私は 数週間 で 日本 に 行きます。

Just a couple of weeks to go........

In a little over two weeks I am heading to Fukuoka to live for 3 months to explore and learn Japanese language and culture. So much to do and now, suddenly, soooo little time.....

I have been busy looking on Google maps, familiarising myself with the new environment. which at the moment is a two dimensional space on the computer screen without sound, smell, temperature. I've looked at where I will be living and how I will get to the language school I am studying at. So far so good.

The proof of course will be when I get there. Will I be able to get a taxi?.. and then, will I be able to get to the right place?...... on the other side of the world from family.....

Reaching well outside of my comfort zone in an effort to improve my language teaching!

Trepidation and excitement mounting.


私は、少し　しんぱい　して　います。私　も　こうふん　して　います。
