it's not life that matters but the journey...

Gah - I had my challenging classes today and the second one, with the adult, was especially challenging. She's a beginner in the REAL sense of the word. i don't think she has ever even heard anyone speak English. she doesn't understand much of anything, and I use a LOT of Japanese (and patience). I feel bad leaving here because she needs a lot of lessons! It is an interesting new experience for me, and sometimes I feel like I want to stay here (but then I remember the cold house, and so so many other things...) Oh, life is too much sometimes *sighs*

In other news, I am about to watch "spiderman 2" which I've never seen - yay!

and tomorrow night I will meet my two friends, both named Naomi, for dinner. One of them is pregnant and almost due - I hope I will be here when her baby arrives.

oh, and I posted some photos on the cat community to which I belong - they are having a contest of pics with kitties and their owners and I posted four (3 with me and Leo and one with Masahiko and Leo)... check it out: http://community.livejournal.com/cat_adoration/1382126.html

and for some reason, I have a stomach ache again. It seems like I have one every night!
I think its my peptic ulcer acting up again! (anyone got Tums?)
