My first live time blog since I got here

Beleive it or not, I am actually writing this post in real time. I got off work and decided to blog about the day before I hopped off to bed. I have to be in at 930 tomorrow and am looking at quite a long day/night in front of me. I will be teaching two classes, observing four others. From there, we go pretty much straight from work to celebrate my predecessor's going away from and my welcome to the school. We are having dinner at a local italian style restaurant, then going to the bowling alley where they have . . . bet you can't guess . . . yes, bolwing (as well as karaokee somehow) and then something else after that as I am told. I am interested to see how it plays out and will obviously be needing my rest this evening -_-

Today went pretty well. I woke up early to jump on the train to my predecessor's town so I could set up my own internet and phone. Two years here really paid off for him and his Japanese cause he translated everything with both sales people. The only problem was that the internet guy took too long and I didn't have enough time to finish the transaction with the cell phone lady and had to leave mid talk. Furthermore, it seems that it takes a while to install internet here, so I may be out of touch from July first till the 9th or possibly the 13th. I have internet now, but it was paid for only till the end of June. No worries though, there is an internet cafe near here and I will trek there when I need. Also, I will go get my phone on monday . . . hopefully with no more problems.

As far as work is concerned, it was an OK day. I taught my first class and I felt like it could have gone better on my part. I talked a little too much I feel and I wasn't as organized as usual cause I overlooked some pre-set up steps. It is not the end of the world though. My predecessor actually said I did OK for my first time and I know how to fix myself for tomorrow. Hopefully I'm better! Now I am off to bed to handle tomorrow. Wish me luck!
