It's been a long time since I wrote a real entry.
Mostly because it's been same old thing...you know, go to classes, do homework, eat, sleep, play tennis XD

This week our classes were cancelled due to the university's cultural festival.
I went to check it out for at least one day. There was mostly food, but besides that not much else.

Although I was very surprised to see one of my tennis class team-mates, so I hung out with him for a while.
He was going to be there all day since he was working on one of the food stalls.
It's been really sunny yet quite cold outside, so I didn't stay for as long as I would have liked.

I went around Kawagoe for a bit. I needed some grip tape for my racket since the leather handle was slippy and therefore the friction was giving me blisters D:
I got the Wilson Pro-Overgrip - I love it, my hand doesn't slip on the racket at all!!!
I also got a little smiley face vibration dampener - it was cute and only 200yen.

All the setting up life in Japan was more expensive than I foresaw.
My travelling around and sightseeing etc didn't help.
And therefore my student loan ran out ;__;

So you can imagine my surprise when I was clearing out old paperwork in my drawers and discovered 20,000yen ($220 / £130) in my school diary (that I don't use cos it's pants XD)
LUCKY

I was also lucky enough to score a job with a teaching company.
Although I can't really make any money just yet - I have to wait for my boss to find me students that will fit in my free-time schedule.
I'm a bit nervous about teaching again - the last time I taught feels so long ago.

The trial lessons are 30mins and I get 1000yen per trial lesson.
If the student signs up for lessons permenantly, the lessons are 1 hour and
I get 2000yen per lesson (direct from the student).
If I teach 1 on 2 rather than one on one - I get 4000yen per lesson.
If I teach 1 on 3 - I get 6000yen per lesson.

I don't mind teaching 1-3 if they have 3 students that want to learn together.
I find teaching groups easier, since I taught classes with many more students last year.
It would certainly help me pay my rent if I could so that!!!

Although, I have no idea when I'm gonna get my homework done - since I told him when all of my free time is >_<
