Days 1194 - 1200
Day 1194 { }
Sunday, June 26, 2011
Went to church this morning. I sold 2 of my books there. It's almost a year since my book was released.
I can't find a barber who will trim as well as shave my face for cheap. So I went to a store today to buy a face shaver. They unfortunately didn't have any there so I had to order one online.

Day 1195 { }
Monday, June 27, 2011
After work today I got to my apartment and slept as soon as I got there. I am trying to get used to this teaching in the city thing but my body so far is not keeping up. Or is it that I am getting old?

Day 1196 { Got my face shaver }
Tuesday, June 28, 2011
Today was so hot, I felt like I was going to faint while I was teaching. The worst thing is that the classrooms at this school doesn't have any form of cooling system in place. Luckily the staff room has AC. I notice since my first observation the Board of Education members are popping up more and more in my classes without any warning whatsoever. Although it is only for about 5 minutes or so, but still.
After work today, I stopped by my friend's apartment a bit, then went back to my apartment where I collected my face shaver.

Well to be fair, the normal teachers are usually extremely busy. I remember when I used to play soccer with some students at the Niimi College, a guy told me to stay away from Japanese female teachers and nurses. He said because they are always busy and will get angry very quickly and easily.

Day 1198 { Company meeting #3 }
Thursday, June 30, 2011
I finally got paid today. I was waiting on this one probably more than all the others in the past. After work today I had a company meeting. I got there a bit later than normal because of the location of my school today. After the meeting, my head teacher asked me and another guy in our group, if we could possibly give a presentation next week. It has something to do with our experience working for this company and what we have overcame etc etc.
After the meeting I paid my rent and some other bills.

Day 1199 { 1 year since my book release }
Friday, July 1, 2011
Today makes 1 year since my book was released in Niimi, Okayama, Japan. So far I think I sold approximately 150 copies, which is not too bad for a first try I think.
After work at my school today (my main school), the English coordinator called me and told me that I am leaving from work too early. She said the teachers sometimes want to speak to me about the next English class but most times I am gone. I find this a bit odd because I am there all day and the teachers would totally ignore me. These meetings to plan the next lesson only take about 5 mins maximum. I am sure throughout the day they can at least find 5 mins to come to speak to me. Anyway, I will stay back a bit longer and see if anyone will come and speak to me, if not, I will call them up and force them to talk with me for 5 mins about the next lesson.

Day 1197 { Angry/Busy Japanese Girls }
Wednesday, June 29, 2011
Today was also quite a bit hot. Believe me when I say that the heat in Jamaica is absolutely nothing compared to that of Japan. It's hot and humid here.
The music teacher at my school today was the English coordinator last year. She is now on maternity leave and should be expecting her child between say August and September. So there is a new music teacher now. The music teachers and the office staff persons seem to speak to me more at these schools, than the normal teachers.
