Leaving Saijo...and internet connection..

So in about 45 minutes I will be leaving Saijo Language camp, where I've been for the last 5 days. It's been so fun being around all the 1st year Hiroshima JETs, and really getting to know friends I've made at Tokyo and Hiroshima Orientation. I'm going to miss being so close to everyone, and going out to dinner every night! But it will be good to get back to "reality" and get started at school!

My first day of school in Monday, which means wearing a suit and sitting through the Opening Ceremony (all in Japanese). It's going to be long and (hopefully not!) boring, but oh well. I believe my first day of actual teaching will be Tuesday, with a teacher I haven't met yet because he's part time. Did I mention he's 83? Yep. Should be interesting....

My first class will be my self introduction, which I've prepared. I also made an awesome poster with pictures on it from my life back home. Hopefully the students will be excited to meet me!! (fingers crossed!) I have an activity for them to do, fearing I'll run out of time though, so making me really nervous! Hopefully I'll get through it okay!

I am so sad to be leaving internet access, but fingers crossed I will have it Tuesday evening, so soooooooon! Please check out these links to see updated photo albums on facebook!
