So it has turned into bribery. Or something like that. I am suppose to
learn a bit of German and sing in a choir. If I do, I have been promised
to be taken to Shikoku in June. If I don't. No deal. Hmmmmm. Of course
the trip to Shikoku would mean I would have to sing this September and
also next June. So it is a two concert deal. Oh right, and the key
part that I seem to be forgetting,
I CAN`T SING.

Right, so that is the story thus far. And it seems to be a busy weekend
and it hasn`t even begun. Climbing and riding on Saturday, and super with
the Dr. and his wife on Sunday, and maybe doing farm work on Friday.
Ah yes, so much to do, so little time. But then it will be Monday again
and pay day will be closer.

Oh, and I found out that I have 39 private students, not counting the
elementary school I go to or baby hell. But those 39 pay $5 a month for
class, so the board of education receives $195 from my classes. Not to
mention the money they get from the government to have me. And yet I am
the last JET. Strange, all very strange.
