So apparently tomorrow a typhoon is gonna hit us really hard. There hasn't been one that has come this far inland that's this big in 50 years, and I guess that one was pretty bad. Right now its foggy and cloudy, with steady rain (I forgot my umbrella, darnit). Tomorrow the principal and vice-principal will meet before 6:00am to discuss whether or not to close school. But, even if they close school, I still have to come because it's a paid day. Poo.
I'm especially worried because this is a mountainous area and landslides are really bad. This is probably the first time I've lived in an area that I have to worry about things due to natural disasters and really bad weather (other than a good blizzard or ice storm). Thankfully I'm not living directly on a slope and there's a pond between me and the hill nearby, just in case.
In other news, I visited 2 elementary schools yesterday, finding a few minutes in between to wolf down some lunch at the jr high school. Today I'm beat. Because of a combination of that and my leg muscle randomly spasming (not painful, just wierd) I'm gonna take a break from kendo tonight. Rest is good.
My weekend schedule is already filled up, after the huuuge English demonstration class Friday (nervous!!!) there is a party in Iida with the Tomikusa elem. teachers. Sunday Nick and I meet a person from our conversation class in Iida and drive about 4 hours to a nearby city for the night, to sightsee and such. This is to thank us for helping out on her farm later in the month picking persimmons. Bzzzzz goes the busy bee. :P
Looking forward to some r+r tonight.
