More Teacher Drivel

[kaitou]

It is hot and icky and I think the rainy season finally hit. Blargh. My feelings are divided because I'm really really going to miss Japan in about a month.....but my parnents house has AIR CONDITIONING. Granted I have that here too, but only in the living room. Which still leaves the problem of sleeping in the heat.

I think the 3rd year boys are trying to convince me to stay. Today they kept praising my Japanese skills, or how well I explained something immediately followed by "You should stay in Japan forever." It is sweet and guilt inducing. But I know that they'll like the next ALT just as much. I'm wondering if maybe I can manage to come back for a visit next spring and see them graduate.

And I was so proud of Nagami-kun! They've been learning "I have _____for ___" and the like lately. Like "I have lived in Mito for two years." And without really meaning to use it I asked him, "How long have you had that earring!" When I noticed he had one. And he answered in a complete sentence! It warmed the cookies of my heart. I want to mention it to the teacher, but I'm not sure he's allowed to wear the earring and I don't want to get him in trouble if no one else noticed.

In non teachery ramblings...I've seen a bunch of Stargate icons that use quotes from Eddie Izzard. And I'm amazed at the fact that there's no "But I was dead at the time!" or any relating to going to the moon, with Steve or otherwise. Too easy you think?

Hello there! I found your journal through one of my LJ friends, are you on the JET program too? It sure sounds like it. I'm way down in Saga-ken on Kyushuu. You live really close to Hiroshima? That's so cool, I'm going to stop by there in July on the way back from Kyoto. Only 20 days left in Japan *sniff* I love reading your entries and comparing them to mine. Anyway, just thought I'd wave "hello", Ja ne!
