It's been a fairly average week so far thanks to having a cold, which while better, is still holding on. On Monday I used my daikyuu to rest and pretty much spent it playing games and watching TV. Tuesday I had to go to school, but I was in a sick fuzz all day and can't actually remember what I did! On Tuesday night I caught up with Yoko which was great, but I was nearly asleep at the table at the restaurant by 9pm :D Wednesday I spent the entire day filling out business trip forms and never endingly correcting them with little pieces of extra or changed information from Kyoto-sensei (who looked very apologetic after calling me back for the 5th time!). At night I did my conversation class with Kometani-san where we had lots of fun talking about our holidays in a good mix of English and Japanese and grabbed dinner at Kappa-sushi. I was supposed to go to badminton but I didn't feel good enough, so had an early night instead.

Today I'm doing some lesson planning and generally keeping very quiet in an effort to stave off the cold before school starts again next week. I'll wander down to Minato-ya tonight to see what's going on there, then tomorrow night I'm off out to catch up with my good friend Amanda in Himeji. The weekend looks to be pretty good, assuming I'm not still sick, as I'm going bowling in Osaka with my new friend Kyoukou. We had planned to go partying at night, too, but we mixed up the dates and the party we wanted to go to was actually last week, haha. So I think I will head to the Hyogo AJET Back 2 Skool beer garden in Sannomiya instead, to catch up with the newbies and help with membership sign ups. W00t! Sunday is chores and resting as usual as another long school term kicks off on September 1 :) All is good ... looking forward to being useful again :)
