Ok, so I am not in fact deceased. Nor have I dropped off the face of the planet. It has been ages since my last post, I know, and there`s no way I could remember everything that has happened since then. I went to India somewhere around that time. I`ve gone home to visit my family for three weeks. And my cousin is going to kill me because I still ( Read more... )

So it has been duly brought to my attention that I do not post enough. So here I am. The new school year just started here in Japan, so a bunch of the teachers at my school changed. Including the principal. Which is funny, since he still works at my school. How can this be, you might ask? They apparently started up a "community room" or some such, ( Read more... )

Wow, what a difference sleep makes! I managed to get about 12 hours of sleep last night, so I even have energy to journal entry. Not that there`s a whole lot going on around here. The freak March snow seems to have passed, hip hip hooray. After a couple of weeks of wonderful spring weather, that did not make me happy ( Read more... )

So for anyone who wondered, no I am not dead, nor have I fallen of the face of the planet. All though that might be amusing to try. So, what`s happened since my last post ( Read more... )

Leave it to me to wait until I`m about to leave the country before updating. It`s been an interesting month (yikes! has it been that long since my last update?) with one thing and another. Let`s see, where to start ( Read more... )

Wow, so it has been a while, hasn`t it? A friend told me not worry if I didn`t post every day. I could have told her that was never going to happen anyway ( Read more... )

There are some days when I love my school. Maybe not all the kids, but in general I think my Junior High is nifty. We had a big assembly today. This was right after a teachers meeting that I only partially understood, something about police, milk, and I`m not sure what but everyone seemed very worried and to be talking rather fast. Anyway, so right ( Read more... )

So, I don`t think I mentioned my job here. I`m a teacher at the local junior high school mostly. And I use the term "teacher" in the loosest sense, since most of what I seem to do involves sitting on my butt all day. But one day out of every week, I`m given the joy of going to one of the two elementary schools in my town. Mostly I don`t mind this, ( Read more... )

Okay, so I`m kinda new at the whole live journal thing, but now seemed like a good time to start. Since I`ve got a couple of friends who`s ljs I check occasionally, it seemed about time I got one of my own so that when I get mentioned, people might know who they`re talking about. I`m living in Japan right now, and though I thought I`d only be here ( Read more... )
