I was actually 15 minutes early for the recruiting seminar of a language school today. Unbelievable. 

After the seminar in Umeda, I went to see a Japanese tableware and pottery exhibition just because I noticed it was held in a department store nearby and I have been taking table-making lessons. Then I went to Nishinomiya Kitaguchi. I haven’t been to the shopping center in Kitaguchi for a long time. I bought a cardigan that matches my dresses.

The seminar tutor asked us, “What is the one thing that you can do that no one else can?”

What is the one thing I can do with all my circumstances in life? Can I write about my reflections on life? Can I teach Chinese with English?  What is the one thing I can do that nobody else can? Is there anything else I can do other than disciplining my kids, or writing about my experiences?

It’s 21:21. I don’t feel respected because the kids are not keeping their promise to quit playing the game. I am angry because they are not supposed to play after 20:30. Now I know I can be angry, and I can also write about me being angry, and I can do those two things that no one else can!
