The Scoop

Its getting cooler here . . . AWESOME!

So I am more confident that I have gotten into my niche here. Something brand new happens quite infrequently these days, but it is ok. I still really like life here and things overall are still feeling quite fresh.

Work is good as usual. There is always something new goin on and no day is the same as the one before. Whether it is because of new students, programs that we are asked to help promote or the constant class roster changes, monotony is being kept at bay for me. Thank gosh. All the little happy moments and conversations I have with students and staffs are also helping. I pretty much like or have little problems with everyone I work with, so everything is really working out thus far amidst the rather long hours I spend there.

Lots of things went down over the week, as I have alluded to, but I really don't feel moved to share them, because moments like those can’t be conveyed in a way that you would understand and experience them in the same way as me. It really is rewarding though, and kids scare me a lot less than they used to. I can actually conceive myself having one at this point. Don't worry though; I am DEFINITELY not in a rush lol. I haven’t even had a date here yet. Its all good though, as I have bigger fish to fry here right now . . . but my eyes are open =P

The weekend was particularly fun. I met up with friends in Roppongi (Tokyo) after work and got into a fairly nice club (for free!!!) and danced the night away like I love to. They actually had two hairdressing stations (dunno what else to call em) where two guys were doing hair for chicks that could pay for it. I didn't ever expect to see that in a club haha. I also got a lot of free drinks since my friends knew one of the staff and he kept hookin it up. Whew, I haven’t been like that in a while and did not appreciate that the sun was out when I left the club lol.

Yesterday I had hip-hop class and a good time again. Since the choreographer is preparing for the performance in December, we started doing the formations and such. This point of class got funny. So since I may be the only guy (if I perform), the choreographer gives me an 8 count “style solo” where I am supposed to act as if I am “hollerin” at all the girls (who form a crescent formation right behind me) in the class. Not only that, he told the girls to perform as if they are receptive to it . . . just a little awkward. Basically I am just gonna make it fun and innocently playful so I don't feel like a pedophile haha. It’ll be all-good.

Today I just chilled and did everything to tidy up my pad and brush up on my Japanese a bit. It was a rewarding day and good weekend. Looking forward to tomorrow and starting things all over ^_^
