All food in this country is delicious beyond compare. Just thought I would throw that out there. I went to a Korean restaurant with Emi and Yuriko and Masayuki (pink tie guy) and chi-chai san after work, and everything that crossed my lips was amazing. I guess that comes from having thousands of years to perfect the foods you eat, but, oh man. It like they could do no wrong ordering. You could throw darts at the menu and whatever you got would be the best thing you had ever eaten, guaranteed. It’s out of control.

It is weird, however, being the one American among 4 other Japanese people at a restaurant. I mean, they all speak English to varying degrees, but it leaves you with that odd feeling that you’re just not getting the point of the conversation.

Emi told me on the bus today on the way to work that Kerry said Allen and I are a good combination for our branch. Apparently, Allen is really good for serious lessons, with business men and the like, and that I have appeal to younger students i.e. children, younger and middle aged women, because of my strong energy and humor. The two of us have a 100% sign record for demo lessons. As in, every demo lesson we’ve done, they've signed up afterwards. Admittedly, I’ve done most of the demos, but, yea. That’s freakin awesome. There’s a dangerously high chance of me being an MVP for December or January. Good cop Bad cop baby. Works every time.

On a side note, I need a massage. My back is all knots. Someone come over here and rub my back. Ready…go.

I have a sore throat, three more days of work and a rough month ahead. I wanna go to sleep and wake up in the clear. I’m so close to the potential for financial security. But then again I’ve said that before. The question I guess is if it will be any different this time around.
