See, one of these days I'm gonna learn how to keep up a regular journal. With like, regular entries and everything, Wow. that's the strangest Idea I've ever heard!
It's finally winter. I was wondering when this 'long cold winter' they keep talking about was going to happen, given that where I used to live it usually snows by now. >.> But it's finally here! I woke up yesterday morning and there was snow on the mountain peaks that I see from my bedroom window. it was really quite beautiful. The best part was that as I drove to work there was still fall foliage surrounding me. See, Mount Nantai is about.... 8 thousand feet tall? and I'm at like... 1000 at best. but Nantai is only 10ish miles away! So I still have fall and Nantai has snow. I got a picture, I'll upload it later. It's beautiful.
I had a listening class today. When I first started teaching this class it terrified me. The students were silent, I didn't know what to do, and I didn't have a Japanese Teacher with me to translate or to help out. Now I know them a bit better, and I can usually make them talk. I finally realized that for these kids, even just an hour of conversation with me is a 'Listening Class'. Now we have a lot of fun. We're planning a Christmas Party, and I told them about the idea of a Potluck party. hehehe. I look forward to seeing what they bring. I'm making pie. Yum. Pie.
Hmmm.... what else....

Nuff said. xD Life is good.
