A Little Update

So I didn't so much go take pictures around the city. After a looooong weekend, I pretty much slept/stumbled through the tail end of it and beginning of the week. However, I do have a few things, and a promise to Grandma Connie is a promise to Grandma Connie - I can't go letting the old bat down just because I'm thousands of miles away, now can I? I really wish I could show you pictures of my apartment, but I don't want you all thinking I live in my own filth, so I'll have to clean up my filth before the photo shoot. Let's aim for next week, shall we?

Okay, on with the (brief, and perhaps a bit boring) show.


This is the view from my bedroom window - nice if you like houses. Just kidding, it's actually a very cute neighborhood. Now if I could just get the baby next door to quit crying 24/7...


This is the road leading up to my school. I like that the school is in the middle of a forest, it's such a pleasant bike ride to work in the morning. Let's not think of what's to become of me when winter rolls around, okay?


Here's my school! There are about 950 students, 70 teachers, and 10 or so office ladies - I feel like I've met them all in the past two weeks. Obviously not, but that is a lot of faces to try to remember. Don't worry, I've give up already. I will be making a speech (in Japanese) in front of the whole crew come Friday. Here's to hoping I don't sound like an idiot. Don't worry, I won't.


This is where I spend a lot of my time - the English room. The desk on the right, behind the couch, is mine. Mostly I just read the newspaper, or my book, or talk to this cool English teacher about jazz music, or stare at the wall. No seriously, I do some work...sometimes.



This is food. My vice principal took me out for lunch on Friday. That's crab on the top there, as for the rest I really have no clue. She tried to explain it to me (in Japanese) but in all honesty, at that point I didn't really want to know.


Here is a picture of Brett Favre, up on the wall of some skeezy club in Tokyo. Why was I there? Don't ask...

Okay, so maybe that wasn't so short. Anywho, until next time...xoxo to you all!
