Gah.

I have a little office in the sitting room of our apartment, containing my desk, desk chair, a bookshelf with all of my favorite books in it, my Japanese and French textbooks and a letter file.  There are also two tiny glass lamps for ambiance, an inlaid wooden pencil case I bought in Sorrento, Italy, my eeePC and one of our new Panasonic cordless phones.  I'm all ready to begin working, I have my software up, I'm logged into internal chat, my hands-free headset is being shipped as I type.  My mock lesson, which was challenging, was this morning.

I'm feeling rather uncourageous right now.  And vulnerable.
