I've got this great post prepared for you guys in my mind. It has river rafting, caves, Japanese high schools, and marching bands (Yes, Japan actually has those. Who knew?). It has fun, excitement and really wild things; it'll be better than sliced bread (in my own mind anyway ( Read more... )

You sound all stressed out. Look take a deep breath. Repeat after me, sun is warm, grass is green. Breath out...get rid of bad chi. Breath in...bring in positive chi. You are the master of lesson planning.

Part of me wants to call you right now with this cherry phone card I have, the other part is aware that it's eleven at night, and you'd kill me. Besides I don't have your number anymore...

I need your number again because Eric has been shuffling papers around here and I don't know where your number went. This time it will go into my phone book...Ah, stupid me, and procrastination.

Your wish is granted. The Queen of the Wikker People grants you the Wisdom of the Ages...Only second to the Wisdom of the Universe, which is second to the Wisdom of time...you get where this is going right? Either way I grant you the power to finish your lesson plans.

Sorry to hear your so busy. Your kidding they have marching bands in Japan!!! For what Kendo matches!(couldnt resist:P) But seriously now do they play sports like football and basketball? I already know they play baseball but I still picture them with bambo kendo swords or those sumo wrestler diapers. Oh and today I won a mini contest in class for best picture!!! I have to thank you so much for the pics though. And for ounce my shading came out right!!! Uhoh got to go now. Ill gab at you later.- Asa

P.S. Look perfect gramar and spelling!(I think)

My teaching went really well today, I'm tired but in a good mood :)

American-style football? Not really, most Japanese kids are too small and reedy for that (though some are perfect basketball height). They love basketball, volleyball, soccer and, of all things, badminton. Kendo, aikido, judo and karate are really popular too. Sumo is actually the national sport, though it's not as popular as I expected it to be. Marching band is not very popular, not many schools offer it (they all have brass bands though) and it's not connected to football like in the US.

Keep working on that spelling and grammar, it's "once" not "ounce" ;) Gotta get ready for work tomorrow, bye!
