Hrmmm...
Well... Got some interviews done. Now I'm in limbo again. I've accomplished a lot, I feel, but this whole limbo thing makes me feel like I'm running in circles.
The company I went to in Nagoya specializes in Kindergartners. Right. I dunno, better pay, better location, but is it really worth dealing with 2-5 year olds every day?
Had Skype interview with another company. I dunno. Doesn't seem any different than what I'm doing now. Just the scenery would change.
Had Phone interview with latest company. ... Seems good. On paper I'm getting paid less, but if I put into consideration the sick / holiday days etc. then I'm making about the same.
I've got another job that I'm going for too. But the deadline isn't until Friday so there's no point getting excited until at least monday. I don't want to go into details. Might jinx the entire thing. Bizarre. Longer I stay in Japan the more superstitious I become. Probably my paranoia.
OH! OH! Tales of the World : Radiant Mythology 2 just came out today! So awesome... They've really upped the character creation and the number of characters from the games you can recruit! I'm really excited about this one. And it finally has proven to me that, yes, my American PSP WILL play Japanese PSP games.
The new Crystal Chronicles : Echo of Time has come out for both DS and Wii too. Not sure how it works. Apparently it isn't like the old Crystal Chronicles where your GBA and GC had to talk to each other to work... I'll look it up later.
So TIRED! So not worth an 11 hour day just to teach for 90 frigging minutes. I spend the rest of the time picking my nose! At least at this school I don't get in trouble for surfing the internet. Oh, I'm allowed the internet in all my schools, but only for work things. This school doesn't mind if I use it to check my email quickly and read the news pages. I'm so out of touch with the world. My kids have kept yelling "Yes We Can!" at me and I couldn't figure out why the hell they kept doing that... Oh right. Obama. *feels REALLY dumb* Read his speech too. (No Audio in school.) Very pretty.
... There are these white eagrit (NOT how it is spelled.) birds that live in the rice fields around my apartment. I finally heard them make noise the other day... They actually sound like Duke's squeaky dog toy. I'm not kidding. I couldn't believe it. I thought one of the dogs was playing but then I noticed it came from above me... Then I saw the bird. Another one to add to my plethora of Japanese bird stories.
