I'm actually waiting a little impatiently to get started at the new job. Although it is not officially until 1 April (yes, that is the start date of the Japanese working/academic/financial year), I can visit the campus later this week once my office has been made available. (That will be Wednesday.)
In the meantime, I'm working on a little class preparation ahead of time and to that end, ordered some texts on Friday, they came in Saturday and I picked them up today. How excitement is that? OK, perhaps just for me.

We also had a visit from my friend's younger sister and out of one of the drawers, she discovered an unused Japanese housecoat (a hanten), made by her grandmother many year's ago. Makko-san insisted that Jinko would like me to have it. It is an absolute treasure, handmade and in beautiful style. I will look after this one.

A lovely dinner at a favourite sushi restaurant (where else) and we farewelled Makko-san, and I got stuck into my books.
I am excited.
