I have been tied up with preparation for my English class and getting training lessons. ( I've written about it many times. ^^;)
To feel relaxed, I'm hooked on burning incense. I had been interested in incense before, so when I dropped by an 100-yen shop the other day, I bought a small boxes of incense packed sticks.
I chose the aroma of lavender and a refreshing smell called "Oceans". Every morning and night I burn either of them. Not only morning and night, but whenever I fume and fret about something or feel stressed, I burn them and inhale deeply.
Those aromas really work! I'll buy other types of incense. ;D
Last night, my family visited next-door neighbor to have dinner together as the next-door's husband had invited us. We often have time for eating and drinking. Their kids and our son are the almost same age, so they always enjoy playing together. :D
We drank freely and actively.
This morning, I went out to walk as I had drunk too much. lol After all, I felt dull, so I wanted to feel refreshed and have exercise. :D After the brisk walking, I felt "What a wonderful Sunday morning!" haha
I had been confused about procedure of the English lesson since I took part in the 2nd training lesson. Next Monday, I'm supposed to get the 3rd training lesson and then I have to give a demonstration.
I've been learning the procedure, in addition, I have to prepare for opening my class such as making fliers, appointing a room and putting up posters etc. There isn't enough time! Xl
Luckily, one of my fellow English-lovers has been around as an English teacher for decade at the same company, so I asked her to give advice this morning. What was better, I had time for speaking English as much as possible. :D
Thanks to her, I understood the procedure clearly and felt fulfilled because I spoke English to my heart's content. lol
I will practise the procedure over and over again. ;D
Yesterday, one of my friends came over. She learns English as well and regularly takes part in an English club. ( It's different from the club where I belong.)
She doesn't usually have opportunities to practice speaking English except for the club. She wants to make the time for English.
When she sent me a text message, I was desperate to immerse myself in an "English world": I wanted to spend some time using English only as these day I had less time to use than before because I had to get training lessons to become an English teacher and during the lesson the trainers go on the lessons in Japanese except for giving a demonstration of the English teaching for kids. Xl
Thanks to the meeting, I might have prevented my brain immersed in English from getting rust. :D Next time, she's supposed to come over with her friend.
Today, I got the second training lesson to become an English teacher for kids. It was raining, so I went to the nearest station by car after I took my son to kindergarten. (Usually, I go there by bicycle to exercise.)
I had expected there would be only me in this lesson, but another trainee was there. She visited there from the next city along the train line. It took about 40 minutes by limited express, according to her. Before the lesson began, we chatted away. We talked about our past. She entered high school in Australia, graduated and then entered college there. After she came back to Japan, she worked at a hotel. ( Wow! What a coincidence! There was once a time when I used to work as a hotel staff.)
As for the lesson, it was challenging, but rewarding like last time. ;D We have to learn the teaching methods in a short period and do a lot of homework every time. There are 24 hours in a day....It's not enough! lol
Well, I shouldn't neglect my routine English study so my English skills wouldn't go down.
