Nan demo...
Sep. 8th, 2008 10:18 pmLooks like I found my second job! I went out to the general Hachiouji area this evening for an interview, and was offered the position after I dazzled Matsumoto-san with my charm and wit. Oh, and the fact that my availability matched up perfectly with the hours he needed a teacher for. XD It's only two nights a week, but that's just what I was looking for. The only downside is that I'll have to reschedule my next laser appointments, but I can do that tomorrow afternoon.
Also, tomorrow afternoon I have to send in my application for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. And then get out my kanji books because as much as I'd like to think I could go in and breeze through the test without studying beforehand, and I probably can guess and infer enough to get through it, I'd rather put some effort into it.
I should also tidy up the ol' apartment a bit, because Bashy Boy and Tango Chick will be back for two nights before heading out again, and coming back on Friday. They'd originally planned to hang around the Kansai area for a while longer, but BB called me earlier and said they were suffering a bit of temple overload, and wanted to come back and climb Mount Takao instead. I'll demand that they come to school with me Wednesday morning to meet the kiddies, and they can't really refuse -- think of how much money I'll have saved them by the time they leave!
It was funny when they arrived; I showed them into my place, gushing about how much BIGGER it is than my old one, and they looked at each other and said, "We'll never complain about the size of our condo ever again!"
Getting back to the job, I'm really looking forward to the extra money because after watching SYTYCD, I've had this constant refrain of "must find ballet classes NOW!" in the back of my mind. And then the other day I picked up a flyer for Tokyu Shibuya Culture Circle, and they have all sorts of dance classes: classical and modern ballet, jazz, tap, musical, belly dance, even flamenco! Unfortunately, many of them are during the day, but a fair number are in the evening. I haven't read through all of it yet, but the modern ballet classes look cool. I'd go for classical first, but the evening ones seem to be mostly either pointe classes (and I think I'd better work my way up to that; it's been 2 years, after all!) or classes for "adults who haven't taken dance classes since long before they were adults" and that's hardly my situation.
Mm, my chicken soup is tasty! It's even better today because I can smell it. :D Not that I can take much credit for the taste, because I didn't do much except peel and chop, but that ginger didn't grate itself, you know?
