I killed 60 flies at work.  The vice principal gave me a goal of 50 flies because a few weeks ago I managed to kill 40.  I surpassed 50 but then he told me to shoot for 100.... I said there was no way lol.

My school had an emergency drill in the morning for "what if some weird person came into the school"? Lol. Two cops came and one of them ( Read more... )

I just said something really, really rude I think...... at work in a public situation.  It kind of slipped out, though....  and it could be interpreted as rude or just a misuse of verbs I think.  I hope they don't get mad at me for it :/ but since this is Japan I guess they'd never say?  I'm pretty embarrassed.

So I weighed myself today.  I am officially 2.74 pounds away from my first goal weight and 7.74 pounds away from my ultimate goal weight.  Hard to believe that even after going home and practically being a glutton I have LOST weight since December.  Darcy scores ONE MILLION COOL POINTS!  It's weird because I have pictures from 2005 that I have been ( Read more... )

Today was the kindergarten and the children were lovely.  I showed them photographs of Michigan and then taught them gestures to "I'm A Little Teapot" and had them shout the word "shout" with me... next time I'm going to have them do "handle" and "spout" with me, too.  But it's pretty much way above their level verbally and I don't really care if ( Read more... )

First of all let me say that I went to bed shortly after 8 PM last night and woke up at a normal time this morning (yay).  I'm totally exhausted right now, too.  I wish I could go to bed but I am afraid that if I go to bed right now (6:30 PM) I will wake up too early and be all screwed up still.  I have a feeling things will be better by this ( Read more... )

So..... today was a good day, other than not being told I would be alone teaching 3/4 today.  We played BS the whole time though so it was good.  Tsubasa and Takumi decided they were going to call out every person that laid down cards lol sometimes they had to do janken over who had to pick them up because they called it at the same time.  It was ( Read more... )

So I got up super early today for the happyoukai.  I am getting picked up at 7:20 AM which is in a little over 30 minutes (getting a ride with Yuki Sensei).  So sleeeeeeeepy.  I did get to bed at a decent time, though.  Sadly the happyoukai doesn't even start until 9 AM.  It was just more convenient for them to pick me up really early.  I will end ( Read more... )

My boss gave me my re-contracting papers today and told me to consider it.... but I already know what my answer is.  Even after reading in the paper that Michigan's unemployment rate has hit 8.9% (seriously wow) I am still going home.  Take THAT, economy!

I spent most of my day at work sitting at my desk and sewing.  I have created a parrot to be my ( Read more... )

Well the Australians are arriving tomorrow afternoon and I have been enlisted by the board of education for about 30 minutes to make sure there are no problems with the kids meeting up with their host families.  That should eat up maybe from 1 to 2 pm so it's not a big deal.  I'm sure it will give me bonus points at work, too ( Read more... )
