Crazy weather we're having these days ( Read more... )

So I checked the internet train schedule for 水郡線 (suigunsen), my train line, and it said there was a special 1:36 train today.... though I ought to know better by now, I believed it and went there around 1:30.  Wouldn't you know it but Shin and two of my other 7th grade boys were all in the station, waiting for someone to pick them up, and playing ( Read more... )

I practiced the piano for 90 minutes on the cold community center stage.... I was wearing my coat, hat, and scarf (what a coincidence I am still wearing them because my apartment is so cold).  Eventually two of my junior high girls (Kahori and I don't remember the other one's name) came in and said hi and said I was really good and they were ( Read more... )

My school gave me PRESENTS. They gave me a package with a winter hat, scarf, neck warmer, arm warmers, and leg warmers. And the 2nd grade class gave me pressed fall leaves as a wall-hanging, and a necklace made out of 3 pinecones and yellow ribbon on a string ( Read more... )

Since then, they have started a big letter writing trend. I'm getting letters, which is good, but I'm getting them in bunches of 20 or more at once (the whole class writes them and brings them to me ( Read more... )

This is quite a dire situation..... my dish soap is all gone D: heh...... I probably could buy some tonight but I'm not feeling like going anywhere so I think I'll buy some on my way home from work tomorrow.  Yay for having a combini on my way home.  I could get some ice cream too and eat it while walking.  I know Lucy wants me to go to that party ( Read more... )

Talked to a teacher I have been having issues with.... hopefully class will be better now?  I think he's cool and his class is cool but for some reason he has not really been active or worked as a team with me during class ( Read more... )

Ahhhhhh my head is pounding X______X I seem to be getting an awful lot of headaches lately.  I wanna take a nap T^T

Why does the teacher with the best English that I work with insist on sitting at his desk and grading papers during English class??  I want him to help me :(

Other than that, it was a good day.

I am going to teach some kids how to make ( Read more... )
