A Class
Yes, as you can see from the subject, by some miracle I made it to A Class. For the first time I'm actually sad I started at the rock bottom in Q Class because since A Class is 6 months long (compared to the usual 3 months) and I can only study a maximum of 2 years on a student visa, I'll only manage to complete half of A Class, which I'm finding ( Read more... ) -

Home At Last
Yes, I am home at last. It all came quite quickly in the end. One minute I was counting the days until I left Japan and the next I was on the plane. I arrived on Thrusday and since then I've been run off my feet. Friday took be to town and my beloved Ted Baker. Yesterday I did a round-trip to Bath to seem some Uni friends who were travelling down ( Read more... ) -
New Goal
Oh happy day. It's raining and it's cold. On the downside that means I had to skip my workout today because Alex's veranda where the equipment is set up is currently awash, but on the upside it means I'll sleep reeeeaaaallllly well tonight despite things being so unsettled all around me.
I'm still not sure what I'm going to be doing next term (i.e. ( Read more... ) -
5 weeks to go!
Yep, I'm counting down to my Christmas holiday already. Honestly, the prospect of Christmas hasn't been this exciting since I was little. The only bad thing will be being away from my boyfriend for two and a half weeks but I dare say it'll do us both some good and I intend to stay too busy to be lonely.
My English lessons on Friday both wound up ( Read more... ) -
Christmas In The Air
As the weather gets colder it seem I get happier. Now that my flight home for Christmas is finally booked my head is already more in England than Japan. I've even typed up and printed my list of food demands for my mum :o)
Since I've only had 2 days off in the 19 months since I started at Yamasa, I've decided to skip the last Thursday and Friday of ( Read more... ) -
B Class
So, today was the first day of B Class and my second stint as 'Sensei'. First let's address the one that didn't suck; the teaching.
Actually, while the teaching was once again surpirisngly enjoyable, what's really worth mentioning is an encounter I had on the way to the lesson. I'd just left school and was passing きつつき (which means woodpecker and ( Read more... ) -
Sensei? Me?
Hey folks. It's time for a new layout. I thought I might be more inclined to visit if the scenery were a little different.
Today I taught my first English lesson and found myself being called 'Sensei' for the frist time. In Japan sensei is applied not only to teachers, but to doctors, lawyers, novelists, musicians, artists e.t.c - basically to ( Read more... ) -
*Phew*
That last week will forever be known as Hell Week (and by forever I mean until an even shittier week comes along).
First things first: I passed. I'm going through to the next class. I spent all weekend fearing I'd failed my final tests (especially the Listening) but actually I did fine; 88.6% on the Written, 80% on the Listening (which a lot of ( Read more... ) -
The End of C Class - I hope.
Uh...hey... It's been a while...
How is everyone?
I think the last time I posted was about 6 months ago so it'd be futile to attempt a round up of everything that's happened in that time. I'll stick with the important stuff. I'm in C Class now, halfway through the pre-advanced New Approach textbook - otherwise knows as HAHAHAHAHAHA! Thought You Could ( Read more... )
