Where'd I go? o.o

Sep 11, 2010 10:10

Wow, I just up and disappeared for two days without meaning to.

First I went to Meiwa to go shopping on Thursday night, because I was told that I would need sports wear and tennis shoes for my elementary school the next day. I'm glad I already had track pants, because even finding a stinkin' t-shirt that fit well was a project! T.T

So then Friday I never got a chance to log onto my computer, because I was out with the kids all day, either watching them practice for their sports day or giving a small lesson.

And then Friday night was my company party. As soon as I got home, I had to take a shower and get ready, because one of my teachers came to pick up me and the other teacher who lives in my building at 6. The party itself was fun! I was a little worried, because it's not bad etiquette at Japanese drinking parties to get drunk, and I've heard from other JETs that sometimes their coworkers get a little out of hand. But mine seem pretty chill-- literally the most interesting occurrence of the night was that my principal went and lay down on the floor for a little while. (Fear my proper-but-awkward-sounding English!) The food was really good, too: Japanese-style Chinese food (which in no way at all resembles American-style Chinese food. And I have yet to try real Chinese food). There wasn't anything they gave me that I didn't want to eat, which is extremely rare for me.

So I was glad I went! They also asked me to say a few words, since we were celebrating the new term and I'm one of the big changes. I gave it in half-English, and half-Japanese. I could have probably done it in all Japanese, but I didn't want to mess up when I was trying to say how kind they'd all been to me. My English teacher was able to translate that part just fine for everyone. :)

Anyways... It seems I'll be gone again today during prime RPing time... I'm going back up to Ise to hang out with some of the ALT girls from the JET Programme. They have this club they apparently call "Stitch n Bitch." XD So I'm going to learn how to knit!

Love you all! I'll try to get caught up on tags when I get back tonight at the latest! ♥

school, japan
