A day in the life

I have been invited squid fishing by a bus driver, and am inexplicably now scheduled to teach art as well as English at one of my middle schools. I was also asked what was in my pockets by a 3rd year during question time. I am being given a much longer leash than I anticipated. I may just be able to do some good after all.

I can outrun the soccer team, and for reasons I cannot explain, also out play them. Have I been practicing in my sleep? Because the year I spent pretending that someone else was closer to the ball in Jr. high really doesn't account for my current level of ability.

I then spent the evening translating a diving certification test into English, on an island where I am the only English speaker. The irony...was not immediately apparent.

What a strange Thursday.
