The latter half of the week has been a good one. I have just been doing work and keeping in touch with the states for the most part; but so many little things have come to pass that have made life so very fulfilling.
In terms of work, I still feel I get closer to students on a daily bases and classes have gone well. The lobby and classroom have been filled with lots of laughs and happy chatter. A particularly cute story I want to relay happened yesterday afternoon with two of my little molesters. They werent exactly angels in class, but after class was out, I was off to lunch with my coworker and we ran into them as we were walking to the destination. it was raining outside and I was without an umbrella and one of the girls tried to hold her umbrella up to shelter. what a sweetie. Then when I said "it was ok" she lowered her umbrella and proceeded to grab my hand. I joined hands with the other one and we walked for a bit like that. It was super cute >_< They are growing on me.
Another fun moment was thursday night. Usually, the manager, head teacher and assistant manager are having a meeting or discussing business when I leave work. Yesterday the manager was actually rushing the rest of the staff and me out to go home. I jumped on the oppertunity and preceded to quize both the manager and Assistant manager as to where their dates where. Hehe, they weren't ready for the questions and we shared some laughs at my goofy behavior and line of questioning. I was really glad for that moment. I felt today that our group cohesion at work was a bit better as aproduct of our shared enjoyment. Good stuff.
Last night I hung out with a teacher from another school that I have only met once. We got to know eachother at nice little bar over some beer (thats right . . . I was drinking beer)and snacks. Turned out to be a really nice time and we ended up having A LOT more in common that I thought. I am delighted to find someone who shares my music and recreational tastes. Her favorite artist is the same as mine too! usually not a big deal, but when most people I meet dont know who Kaskade is, this is something impressive. I see lots of good times had by us in the future. Yay to having a new buddy here!
Tomorrow my town is having a festival and I am looking forward to it. I even brought some traditional Japanese clothing for the ocassion at the suggestion of one of my students. I will be sure to expand on this in the next post 0_0
