Yay!!!! There is little that is more awesome than suddenly finding out that your day has been cleared. To celebrate, I went to a cafe and sent the past few hours reading a novel (murder mystery book in Japanese. It&#8217;s interesting, but I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;ll ever really need to know the word for &#8220;strangulation&#8221;). Not a bad way to spend a day. I also learned that I&#8217;ll be heading out on Thursday to another city to record audio for prefecture-wide English tests (the audio recordings you hear on tests where you listen to a dialogue and choose the best answer. Yes, I&#8217;m the guy who records that stuff). While my job may be boring at times, I have to say that it has given me a lot of opportunities for experiences I normally couldn&#8217;t have.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I should get going and head to my next work place in a bit. Will probably wander the mall first. Over all, it&#8217;s shaping up to not being a bad week at all!<\/p>\n<p>Good lucky, and have a good week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Still haven&#8217;t been killed by cultists yet (which is sadly an achievement for me), though I have to say that having people put their hands on your head and chanting is an experience I&#8217;d rather avoid in the future. thank god it was in Japanese, at least, so I know what&#8217;s being said.<\/p>\n<p>Ah well.<\/p>\n<p>I was supposed to drive to another city this morning to go teach a 2 hour private lesson, so I woke up early, got everything ready to make handouts, got dressed and had my bags ready when suddenly my phone rings and my boss <span style=\"color:#777\"> . . . &rarr; Read More: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jrem.net\/?p=407\">Classes cancelled!<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[9,1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jrem.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jrem.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jrem.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.jrem.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.jrem.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=407"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.jrem.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":417,"href":"http:\/\/www.jrem.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407\/revisions\/417"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jrem.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.jrem.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=407"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.jrem.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
