Ah yes posting, posting, posting.

Can someone tell me what day it is?

I have been told it is Wednesday, but for some reason this feels wrong. Perhaps I forgot my head back in Tuesday. Maybe I will find it tomorrow.

Another half day at the junior high, and another few hours at the office.

I have the dreaded first graders today. I am still not sure what to do with them. But I am armed in a t-shirt, grey pants, bare feet, and birkenstocks. I mean what more do I need?

I am trying to decide if after this whole sha-bang if I want to teach elementary or junior and senior high. I thought little kids were the greatest but lately they have been giving me the greatest grief, and my junior high students are so cool. Of course I know this has a lot to do with location, and students are not the same everywhere and what not.

Oh, I also found out that in Japan only 10% of the graduates from university (education program graduates) pass the registration test to be a fully qualified teacher. Isn't that insane? Not only that, BUT it is the administration board that decides where you will teach. There is a teacher in my school who is qualified to teach elementary, junior, and senior high, and really wanted to teach in an elementary school, but the board told her she was to go to junior high. So she went. Pretty insane if you ask me. Of course this is only crazy to me because I am use to their being a choice. Ah yes, choices.

Here comes the responsibility of my life.

In other news, I slept for 12 hours last night and had the most beautiful dreams. I wanted to call in sick and sleep more just to live in that dream world. I am contributing the amazing dreams to the hour yoga session and the hour bike ride. Ah yes, anger relief bike ride, and body relief yoga.

The world is waiting.
