   I want to work hard so that everyone will recognize my existence. - Sabaku no Gaara, Naruto

Eh-heh...sooo....I couldn't actually do it. It's only Tuesday....ah, but I got the forms in the mail that I need to fill out about paying for the internet. I'm just posting now to say that I loooove my school! Everything about it is so cute! Haha, ok maybe that's not fair of me. The teachers probably wouldn't appreciate it too much. Since it is a very small school everyone is very friendly with each other. Besides the English teacher only the school secretary speaks English well. He also speaks French and, whatever they speak in Madagascar because he went there for....something....I didn't understand that part too well, but he's helping me to learn more Japanese. Sometimes we both accidentally say French words though, which is pretty funny since no one else knows what we're talking about!

Yesterday I taught my self introduction lesson to the 2nd and 3rd graders (what Americans would call 8th and 9th graders) and I think it went pretty well. There are only 8 kids in 2nd grade & 10 in 3rd so it's pretty easy to have class. None of them can really get away with talking or not paying attention, not that Japanese kids really do that very much anyway.... Today was Term Examinations all day so I didn't have any classes which was kind of boring, but I got a lot of stuff ready for the rest of this week and next. Tomorrow I will teach the 1st graders and there are only 5 of them! They are pretty shy when they see me at school so far because they don't really know much English so even if I just say hello and wave they tend to run off pretty quickly.

Tonight I ate takoyaki from the grocery store. Mmmmm.....it was sooo good! Who would have thought I would like octopus so much? Actually, they're better when they're really hot at a festival, but these are pretty good too. I also found a bag of the Evangelion Doritos! Yosh! I couldn't believe it, and they were only 88 yen. That's like 50 cents (for the big bag!) I'll take a picture of it before I open it. The new movie opened this weekend but I haven't gone to it yet, trying to save money.....ahh....it's hard to do living here with so much fun stuff. Well, I hope everyone is doing well as usual! See you Saturday!
