Crazy.
I had my private lesson today for the first time in almost a month. I teach one of Megan’s student’s fathers. He is a really cool guy. Hard to believe he is Japanese actually.
He has his own company that specializes in custom motorcycle seats. That is a pretty awesome job. They do a lot of work to get their name out there by doing things like contributing to extreme around the world races and such as well.
Today we talked about love hotels. He gave me some great information about how things can be there. Things like there will always be a minibar with drinks and sometimes with sex toys. During holidays when women tend to dress up in Kimonos they have “Kimono service.” Essentially a special staff member will come up and help they young lady get tied up into her Kimono again because it is a 2 person job.
Crazy.
So I wrote a new lesson format for MES and it is making the rounds to the other teachers and they are writing comments. I kind of thought that nobody would bother, but they actually are.
When Megan saw it, she said something that I can’t stop thinking about. She said, “Why are you working so hard on this when you don’t even want to be a teacher?”
There are two reasons.
The first is that this is my job, and I will do it the best I can.
The second is the more important one.
So my whole life I have had two big dreams. The first is to live in Japan. That is checking itself off the list. The second has been to make video games.
Now the thing about living your dreams is that it is scary because it may not come true. For me it isn’t much different. I have wanted this so long that I’m about to face the question of, “Am I good enough?”
The honest answer is that I’m not yet. But now is the time for me to change that.
So I’m trying to wrap up my unnecessary affairs and throw myself a tgame development.
So on my list of things I have:
- Hand off the MES website.
- Wrap up this new curriculum stuff.
- Finish my Login Tracker.
- Get my PAM module out to the public.
Oh yeah, and I have a birthday coming up.
