I tell of my day-to-day experiences in a funky Japanese town from my American viewpoint. This blog could also be called 'Bizarro World', 'Notes From Kyushu, a Smaller Island', or 'Teaching English in Japan: Smash Your Ego in 10 Easy Lessons."

Day 1 -- Go!!

Yes!! Success!

Not only did I get up easily, my notes kept me focused so that I didn't have to think, even when I was sleepy. I was out the door on time and arrived 13 minutes early, and received a nice reciprical "Good morning!" from the staff. I felt relaxed and even managed to get all nicely put together, with time to do my hair, etc.

A big part of this challenge is about moving into the space where I don't have to think about what I'm doing in the morning. If I can get the routine down--without thinking about it--I think I'll be set. 30 days is what I expect this might take, so, on with the challenge!

I hope you were also able to put out your best effort today to get to work early. Was anyone surprised to see you or come up to greet you like they did me? It's a nice feeling, isn't it?

See you tomorrow, early birds!

Congrats on Day 1.

Were you anywhere near the earthquake they had in Japan?

I imagine not because I'm sure you would have mentioned that....

Thanks a lot. I'm doing my best!!!

No, i'm way in the south, so we didn't feel a thing. We did have about 3 or 4 small ones last year, so it wouldn't surprised me to feel one again. Well, it would, but I'd know what it was, at least. Appreciate the concern.
