150808 - in an inebriated state

I am now close to an inebriated state after a shower and returning from my first izakaya trip where I bared most of the most deep-seated worries I have with my supervisor. While he was clever to state that most of his comments were from his past experiences, I think they are worth taking close to where I am starting from this semester. I have yet to teach in class by the way.

It was interesting how he indirectly point references to particular teachers, such as instead of X teacher, he goes, "The teacher who is in charge of Y club when I know very well what Y club is and who the corresponding teacher is.

A point I thought I would like to highlight is how he thinks I am not an easy-going person even though I have declared that in a previous email to him. That makes him worry actually, because he is concerned I might have set expectations which would not be fulfilled knowing the difficult combination in dynamics between the Japanese teacher and students whenever I step into class.
