For the second time this term, the 9th grade classes have been closed for the rest of the week due to H1N1 Type A flu. My teaching schedule is getting riddled with holes. It's hard when you only teach each class once a week. With some of these classes, I've already missed three lessons. Fortunately, I built some extra lessons into the schedule, so my core textbook-based lessons are still safe.
Tomorrow in the early hours of the morning a major typhoon is scheduled to hit Japan. I have to check at 6:30 am to see if there is any keiho (severe weather warning) posted for Osaka. If there is, school is cancelled and I don't have to come to work. If there isn't, school isn't cancelled, and I DO have to come in. For me, it would be great NOT to have to come in, as my only class tomorrow, in the 9th grade, has already been cancelled. The 11th grade students and their teachers are on a 4-day school trip to Hokkaido, so those classes and my two scheduled meetings (International Department and English Department) are cancelled as well. If I come to school tomorrow, it will just be hanging out and doing prep work.
Wait and see. In the meantime, here is a link to the Japanese Meteorological Agency's English site:

Share the suspense!
