blodeueddThe school year is over! *dead* Next week there are no classes, we'll just be getting ready for the new year, cleaning and organising and preparing material. I will be working full-time and will start teaching afternoon classes on Wednesday. I'll be working more hours than I am now, but there'll be no reading-on-the-train time, and I'll be able to get home before 9! *cheers*
Last night was end-of-year yakiniku with my coworkers, and let's just say that we ate. A hell of a lot. We actually ate 1 1/2 of those huge party platters of meat, the half being because we'd ordered it shio but they gave us tare* and we were so hungry we didn't notice and started grilling it right away. When my boss noticed the mistake, she called the waiter over and we got a new platter, and they let us keep the meat that was already cooking.
In between rounds of food, we discussed next Halloween, because K is determined for there to be no all-nighters this time 'round. Our original idea was to go with an Alice in Wonderland theme, but aside from the Mad Hatter (me! me! :D), Alice, and the Queen of Hearts, the other costume options weren't met with much enthusiasm. So then we thought we could do Cinderella, since it has six main human characters, and there was much laughter when we told our boss she had to be the wicked step-mother. Since no one else seemed in a hurry to do drag, I offered to be Prince Charming to K's Cinderella. I've got the shortest hair, anyway.
Either way, I'm wearing pants next Halloween.
* I would never admit this to Oishi (XD) but honestly... I don't really care if my meat is shio or tare. I mean, if it's shio, I put sauce on it anyway, so it amounts to pretty much the same thing, no? Can any of you taste a real difference, or do you have a preference for either?
