The Evergreen English Academy is up and running
It’s pickin’ up speed. It’s comin’ at you like a freight train! Asagiri never knew what hit ‘em.
Three weeks ago, my work at my high school officially ended. It was pretty rough going there, folks. At a final ceremony in the gym, two of my students read a farewell speech (in very good English to my pride) and cried. I got pretty choked up myself I must say. I will miss my schools immensely. I’ll miss the staff and especially the kids… sigh. But it’s time to move on to bigger and better things!
And by bigger and better things, I mean self employed, smokin’ grass and kickin’ ass! Well, not exactly. (Not Exactly?!)
We have hit the pavement all over town handing out fliers door to door. We take Rentaro with us. 1) Someone has to watch him, of course. 2)He’s a better smooth talker than either of us. He get’s mobbed everywhere he goes. In SunRoad (the local supermarket), at Video Box (rental videos) and local restaurants. Meet baby, say “ooh” and “Ah” and “he’s so cute”, get a flier. And that’s the way the cookie crumbles (what does that even mean?)
Our main bread and butter comes from kids, of course. From 6:30 until 9:00 in the evening elementary and junior high students come to our house and we teach them the President’s English (screw the King). We got about 30 of them. We have two adult classes (beginning and advanced) with about 10 adults. We have one class of tiny tots (ages 4 to 6) with three kids in there. Along with all of this, we picked up two private lessons during the day, and one group of elderly ladies who will pay me just to show up and speak to them. I got one corporate gig (cha ching!). I go to their office and teach English to the staff. And new students have been trickling in. On Saturdays, we help a separate group of kids prepare for their standardized English tests. (Step Tests).
Smokin’ grass and kickin’ ass.
I spend the morning preparing for lessons. I get all afternoon for family time which pretty much consists of laying on the floor and bitchin’ about how hot it is. And there it
Anyone want to eat fish eyeballs? Anyone? No?
Mmmmmmm….64 slices of Japanese fish eye.
How could you resist?

You are such a pimp, I cannot even believe it.
People know the song I’m playing
