書道 back in my own mind - still waking up @ 3am hungry


jet lag is slowly lifting and the fog that has clouded me into blissful thinking is clearing to the horror of a month of non-stop 24/7 work. the first couple of days of feeling, 'yeah! i'm back in japan! i love it. it loves me,' has dissolved into, 'oh god, i have to keep all of these kids safe and HAPPY.

yesterday, i, with the help of 2 other japanese teachers, carefully helped 25 kids navigate through the tokyo train system. today my group practiced calligraphy within the safety of the of the center. ahhhh. it was so nice not to be on the train.
