time running down
On Thursday I will finish my final lesson at school, and that will be it for my eigo-no-sensei career. I’ve been making stabs at packing and preliminary sorting, but recently it’s gotten so fucking hot that I can barely think.
This week and next will be packed with goodbye parties, making arrangements for the family trip, and for WWOOFing, and moving out of my apartment.
Saying goodbye sucks. I want to take the town with me, and leave the job behind. I’ve really come to like living here, and having finally made some friends it feels crappy to be leaving.
I want the goodbyes over with, or at least the moving part of things. I believe it will help my goodbyes to be able to say them in summer, when Japan can just eat itself. The worst is, I would be less hot if I could wear fewer clothes, but having become somewhat Japanified I just can’t bring myself to go completely sleeveless. Shorts and short skirts are out too.
I want to say pithy things about how the experience has changed me and sushi and kimonos but for reasons of heat my sense of humor is dead and insightfulness slips my mind.
Maybe it’s the full moon.
