Teaching Wednesday 水曜日授業の日

I was feeling a little nauseous after yesterday’s cancer treatment. But at least I styled myself, inspired by this great spring weather in New York, and I felt good about it.

I was heading home after my teaching for the day. I bumped into a student who had taken my course last semester. It was the semester that I was so sick with chemotherapy. I was feeling miserable and felt embarrassed of my lost hair but I survived teaching through out my chemotherapy. That was one tough semester for me, or the most tough time of my life so far.

When I saw her, we were hugging each other on the street. She was concerned how I was doing, that was the first thing she asked me. She now has a full time position in the fashion industry and will be graduating from the college after this semester. Last semester, I might have given a lousy course, but I had a very strong connection with my students than any other semesters. (well… except one student! I will remember this student in a different way, LOL. He was trying to take an advantage of me being sick.)

The colleague whom I lessened the turban wrapping came to the office with a turban style (-she is not relating to chemo. Just for a fashion purpose, putting a turban on as a part of styling). It looked great on hear. I love it!

My pose that I try to copy from Coco Rocha’s Study of Pose did not come out right for today! That happens.

昨日の分子標的治療後、やっぱり少し気持ちが悪い。春めいたジャケットにして、スタイリングだけでも、春のエネルギーいっぱいのものにして 気分よく今日一日を過ごそう。そうして決めたスタイリング。

授業後に、駅に向かって歩いていたら、先学期私の授業を取った生徒とばったり出会う。思わず、ビッグハグ。まず一番最初に、私があれから体調や癌治療は順調に進んでいるのかと心配して聞いてくれる。彼女は、ファッション業界でフルタイムの仕事を見つけて、さっそく働いている。今学期が終われば、大学からも卒業するそうだ。先学期は、抗がん剤治療中で これまでにない体調の悪さに たぶん授業内容も 私のベストは尽くしたものの、おろそかだったように思う。でも、学生との 一体感 というのは、今まで教えてきた中でも半端ないものを感じたものだ。生徒も心配してくれていたのがよくわかる。（一人の生徒を除いては。。。私がヘロヘロなのを良いことに 調子の良いことを言って 人のずるいとても腹の黒い生徒がいたなぁ。。。違う意味で、よくそんなことができる人だなぁと。。。開いた口がふさがらなかった。）

今日の Coco RochaのStudy of Poseからの写真はなし。失敗（笑）。
