One more day...

Well I have been working for 7 days straight right now, and tomorrow marks my 8th day and then I can rest! I'm looking forward to my Sunday and I am planning on baking! That's right, I finally have gotten a microwave/oven. They are very popular here in Japan since space is a hot commodity. One of my friends is moving to Osaka and her and her husband don't want to take it with them. So they offered it to me. AND I TOOK IT!!! I am going to bake some cookies and muffins and pies and have pork chops for dinner! OH I CAN'T WAIT!!!! If you have any suggestions for what I should bake, let me know! Have fun in the USA! Time for bed here.

Wow...almost a full year!

Sorry it's been so long. I have been tremendously busy! Work is keeping me tied down. Plus, now that it is spring, I am getting outside a lot more often. I am going to be working everyday for the next week (Sat-Sat) straight. YAY! I am so excited....i wish you could hear the sarcasm. Speaking of sarcasm, that was about the hardest unit I have ever taught to my advanced students. I never thought about it, and I had to explain it to them. All in all, it went alright. Most of the students got it by the end of the class.

Today was a beautiful day! I went to The National Museum of Art where they have a Louvre Exhibit. Basically they are copying the Louvre in Paris. It was supposed to rain all day today so I decided to go to the museum with some friends. Afterwards, we went to the zoo because it was such a BEAUTIFUL day! It only rained a little bit this morning and gorgeous the rest of the day. I just made some fruit salad to take to work with me for the next few days...Well, I am gonna hit the sheets, dog tired today.

Not much...again

Well, not much to report here. Our school is getting a new Head Teacher and Manager as well. Things should be gettin pretty interesting around Kumagaya I think. There is a really good Indian restaurant here in Kumagaya and they were closed for a while but they have reopened. They completely redecorated the inside and its really nice now. I love the nan and curry there! OOH! I did learn something about my blanket. There are little ties on the inside of the cover that I can tie to my blanket! YAY! After 11 months I figured it out! Well, I will try to write more tomorrow! Love to all in the states!
