What happened to August?
Well, after the last post it turns out I did absolutely nothing all summer… at least, nothing related to work. I had a lot of fun though, and thoroughly recharged my batteries with friends and family in England. I haven’t blogged or tweeted anything of note in all that time, and I am straining at the leash to catch up! Now I’m back in Japan in the office for the first time in over a month (albeit in shorts and a t-shirt) sitting at my desk and making lists about all the things I need to do before the new semester starts in just over two weeks.
One of the things I need to do is get ready for the Chubu Junior and Senior High School Teachers’ Seminar 2010 on the 26th of this month, at which I will be presenting. If you know anyone who might be interested, pass it on, and keep an eye on the blog for a write up nearer the time. The theme is ‘Collaborate to Motivate’ and it should be a great event, with Barbara Hoskins Sakamoto and Chuck Sandy amongst the headliners. As a fitting nudge back into the world of work, the flier for the seminar popped up on my ipod on the penultimate day of August, courtesy of Helsinki airport’s free wi-fi, as I broke the long haul flight between London and Nagoya.
This month marks a year since I started this blog, so expect to see a few more posts as I get back on the horse. Hope you missed me!
