twiddling my thumbs

because it's exam time at my schools, i havent been teaching very much. i did some calculations, and worked out that for the 80 hours im scheduled to be at my boys highschool this month (where i teach the most), i am actually teaching only 5 of those hours. so that leaves me with 75 hours of sitting at my desk bored out of my freaking mind.

i only have 5 months left in japan, and i know i should really appreciate the opportunity i have to live here. and when i am teaching the students i love it! its just the many many many hours of downtime where i have nothing to do, no one to talk to that gets to me. its so frustrating that sometimes i wonder if i'll even survive the last 5 months. i end up spending a lot of my time online, blogging, or planning my next vacation. and i feel kinda shit, cuz i feel i should be doing something useful. like um...teaching english?!

it's 10:15 am. only 6 hours to go...
