Making a Change

I have decided to make a small change in my life. That is, going to work a couple of hours earlier than before. In the past I would go to work before 1:45 pm, and leave work somewhere between 10:15 and 10:45 pm depending on how much work I needed to do after teaching my last lecture in the evening that ended at 9:35 pm. A few weeks ago, the school was renovated, and each lesson has become ten minutes longer to be 90 minutes, which is as long as an average university lecture. Alongside this change in the length of lecture, time has now been shifted to 7:00 to 8:30 pm to allow students to come to class without rushing, and also go home earlier than before. I am hoping that these changes will be generally accepted positively.

Anyhow, since the lesson ends at 8:30 pm now, I do not need to stay in the office till as late as I used to unless, of course, I have something urgent to do. Over the past few weeks, however, I DID always have something urgent AND important to do, unfortunately, so I wasn’t able to take advantage of the earlier finish of the night lecture, but I’m becoming more and more used to the new schedule, so I thought I might want to try going to work early and finishing up early.

However, it creates one big problem. If I go to work early, I cannot go to my favorite sushi restaurant to have lunch. Having sushi there before going to work has been so important for me. It gives me energy, and also it gives me something to write about. I thought it over for a couple of days, and finally came to a solution, which is going there after work, taking out some for the next morning’s breakfast, eating it the following morning, and leaving for work. This way, I would never miss having sushi before work. Beautiful!

The only downside is that there aren’t many good things left when I go there at night. All my favorite stuff is usually gone by then. But that does not mean there is nothing good left to eat. I can carefully select things that I like to take back home.
