this made my day
The third-year students are learning how to construct sentences using 'to get'. Here's what one boy wrote:
'We were going to get on the train at the Makuhari Station and get off the Motoyawata station.
But you didn't get up earily so we can't get on the train.
So I got angry with you. So I don't make you today's breakfast so you are getting hungry ( Read more... ) -
Say what?
Holy crap, my new school (third one now) is making me plan and teach whole lessons all by myself! *sweats* Uh, sensei....ALT stands for Assistant Language Teacher, or did you forget... None of my previous two schools have ever asked me to teach by myself before, so I'm a little apprehensive about it all.
I regret that I haven't been updating my ( Read more... ) -
Third-year boys, why so cute?
So I was teaching the third-year classes how to use 'that' in sentences (e.g. the food that I like the best is etc...). All the students had a work sheet with 10 questions composed in that way, and they had to fill in their answers. The last question was blank so the students can create their own sentence using 'that ( Read more... ) -

I'm really into Darker than Black at the moment. Here's Hei, the main character from the show.

Art: Jack Bezarius (Pandora Hearts)
I was doodling another original character, which somehow turned into Jack Bezarius from Pandora Hearts. I think I just really wanted to draw blond hair... I'm tempted to draw Break too, as he's one of my favourite characters by far.
Speaking of anime, I am really enjoying Darker than Black at the moment. Anyone watch this?

Art: original character
First ever original character that I've drawn! He's the main character of a 'story' that has been going around in my head for some time now. He looks a bit like that Final Fantasy dude with the bandana but that is totally unintentional. Drawn with Corel Painter (woot! starting to slowly get used to the program)

update from Japan, & silly photo
Over the past three days I have been really sick with a fever and a hacking cough. What with the entire Japanese population panicking over swine flu, my supervisor urged me to go see a doctor, which resulted in my waiting for over 3 hours at a local clinic for my turn. The doctor did a nasal swab (those things felt surprisingly invasive!) and ( Read more... ) -
update
Helloo! Just writing to say that I'm very much alive and kicking in Japan. I've been here for 2 months now, and have just finished teaching at my first school. There was a farewell assembly for me, where I had to give a speech (scary), then the students presented me with a huge bouquet and lined up to form a 'corridor' that led from the hall all ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Can someone explain to me why anime air-times in Japan are always so late (e.g. 2.15am)?! How the heck am I supposed to watch them?
Pandora Hearts and Requiem for the Phantom are both, like, 2 in the morning. I mean, yes, I can watch them online later on, but since I'm now in Japan, I would like to be able to watch shows live for once.
