lessons

20:22 Thursday 27 October 2016 JST

Lesson with A this morning was good; one-to-one because C is out of town. Not sure about K.

Lessons with guides today were fine. Six back-to-back lessons in 3 hours about fun sciency topics.

Lesson with GG was great; we played an "a / the" game using coins. Y got a bit confused and I was suprised about that. I think it might have been because M seems to have fibbed, but I let it go. If I'm correct about what happened, the core problem is that the lesson content was too difficult. Bad teacher.

sweet suite

18:25 Thursday 27 October 2016 JST

I'm in Akihabara for my Thursday evening lesson, but some people are still in a meeting in the room where the lesson is usually held. One of the other students is here, so I imagine we will get to kick them out soon.

Because of my sweet drink, she asked if I like sweets / sweet drinks.

I started to explain the difference between the sweet adjective and sweets as nouns. She asked if it was the same as "suite room." Nope; suite is a noun.

walking slowly to station

07:51 Thursday 27 October 2016 JST

My slow walk to station time takes 25 minutes

Sub times:

  • 3:00 from house to first light
  • 4:00 from light to top of valley
  • 5:00 from top of valley to next light
  • 4:00 from light after valley
  • 3:30 valley light to vending and pokestop
  • 2:00 from last traffic light to last light
  • 3:30 from last light to platform

Given these intervals, if I'm late leaving for the station, I only need to catch up to one of these points and I know I can walk slowly again.
