It’s been a long time since I’ve done a diary entry and I think they give a rounded perspective of my life so here’s one:

Sake shop on way home from work.

Downsized my bag from a rucksack prepared with rations for any situation to a small over-the-shoulder bag. It’s compact but still fits my wallet a moleskine, 2 moleskine cahiers, a small camera, iPod and pens. It’s bit tricky dealing with less space and has taken a bit of adapting to. Sometimes I have to juggle things in my pockets as well.

There was a massive yet short rainstorm this morning. The weather was different in each of the English lessons I taught and the answers changed.

I walked to the station after school in warm sunshine. The high school on the way back was emptying its children at lunch. It seemed like the whole school was leaving. A man smoking on his bike slowed down by the students blew a lungful of smoke into my face. I don’t think there’s anything ruder in the world than that.

All the students on the train this morning were studying from English textbooks. On the way home a salaryman had a TOEIC textbook too.

I found a digital camera I broke 2 years ago. The latch for the batteries wouldn’t close properly so I fixed it with an elastic band. I have a ghetto camera now.
