Well sorry, no new pictures. I haven't taken any recently. The semester has begun, and now there seems to something always happening. Between working part time, and BEST club activities, my schedule is pretty full, if not overloaded. On Wednesdays, I have an English discussion class for interested BEST club underclassmen. Right now, there are three freshmen guys, and a sophomore. They all have a desire to speak English, and we are quickly seeming to become good friends. There is also a girl who may be coming next week. She is a new freshman, and I don't think I have met her before. Anyway, I really like the class, and the people in it. It would be perfect if I wasn't always about to die from having taught at the Junior High School earlier in the day. Wednesdays are essentially a 7am-10pm day... Yuck! Hey, that's like a normal Japanese workday for most people!
Now is "Golden Week". It's a period of time during the year where there are 5 Japanese holidays that line up in a row. So, it a big vacation for Japan. There are a lot of people who have left. Golden week doesn't mean anything to me, just as much as probably Spring Break means to a Japanese person. But, I do get a break from teaching, which means I can finally catch up on all the "loose ends" that have been accumulating for a while.
I wish I had a secretary. ^_^

"Now is Golden Week"... what?!! ha ha, you're losing your English! Just a reminder, it's not normal to say "now is" in English. But, I often hear our Japanese friends using that phrase. I just had to kid you about it. You know I'm totally in the same boat!! When we get back to the states, we're going to need to enroll in ESL courses just to get our English back up to par!
