Yeah yeah, I should write a real entry, but for now I am just writing about a funny thing that happened in one of my classes today. So today in class I was teaching vocab to my JHS 2nd years when I came to the word "uncle". For some reason every time I said "uncle" all of my students began to laugh. As it turns out, uncle sounds very similar to the ( Read more... )

I really will need to make a big update soon. A lot has been happening but I don't want to write about it here yet. All I have to say for now is that I certainly love the Eternal Beauty of 20 of three 22. 

Well, December was a month that was more busy than usual, so I thought I would write about it despite my often lacking entries. Up until the winter vacation, I didn’t do too much things that were special. I think I angered or scared away one of my friends but that is not so bad since I think they were a little overly fickle anyways. Once the winter ( Read more... )

It is hard to believe it, but I have been in Japan for four months now! Where has the time gone? Well, I guess to know I will have to write about it, and the most convenient place to begin a story, is at the beginning of course. So I left for Japan on August 4th and arrived in the late afternoon of the 5th. I was tired and nervous at the same time ( Read more... )

Normally I write like once or twice a year and start with the excuse that nothing has really been happening lately so I have not written much, but this time the story is completely different. A LOT has happened in last few months since I last wrote. I have graduated from UBC, and have moved to Japan for a job in the City of Tamaki Board of ( Read more... )

Ha ha, I can’t believe I actually only update this thing like once per year, but I suppose it is better than never. Truth be told, life has not been the most eventful since I last wrote. Right now it is reading break and I am now in my final term at UBC. I can’t believe it; I first created by LJ about 5 years ago, as a means of keeping track of the ( Read more... )

Hmm, that was kind of fun... Perhaps I should make a REAL post next time.

What Divinity do you worship?
Your Result: You worship DEATH

Death was brought into being in order that combat should serve a purpose besides wanton destruction. The loss of life created within battle, a certain expediency and desire to end the combat, as well as making it ( Read more... )

I recently wrote a paper about how I aquired my languages of English, French and Japanese and the difficulties I encountered while learning these languages at different stages of my life. I thought it is kind of interesting, so I decided to post it on my journal.

It seems that I really don't update this thing too often, and when I do, it tends to be a long entry. This will likely be the case as it always has. At any rate, this will be about the past year in a nutshell. I still plan on making an entry on my overall impression of Japan, something I at first thought I should have done a long time ago, but now ( Read more... )

I have an LJ... oh yeah, I have an LJ. I should write in this thing eh? Apparently I live in Kawasaki Japan, oy this thing is outdated. Another year and I might actually be in Kawasaki Japan, oy. OK, I know, I will add the link to my LJ to my quicklink toolbar so that it is always staring me in the face. Yeah, procrastination, I'm not going to ( Read more... )
