So my friend Tango also has a blog, and is also in Japan teaching just like me, and also travelled with me around Asia this summer. We are basically in the same boat. However hers put mine to shame...so I have decided to take some action, and will try to start blogging again! Thank for the inspiration Tango!
Don't worry, I am not going to try to catch up with everything that has been going on since my last blog because that would be silly, I will just start afresh from here!
Christmas is coming up fast, and it's just a week and a half now until I go back home for the New Year! I got to teach the little one in my elementary school for the first time this week which was soooo much fun! They are adorable to teach, so much energy and so enthusiastic, (my 6th graders could take a leaf out of their book really). We played games, and once again I was asked every possible question under the sun in question time.. here are some of the interesting ones:
1. What is your favourite mode of transport? (surprisingly this came up in every single class!)
2. What shape do you like?
3. What is your favourite colour? (followed by...) What i your second favourite colour?..and so on...
4. What meal of the day do you like, Breakfast, lunch or dinner?
And my favourite...
5. Do you know all of the English words? (I answered with yes...although this is definitely a lie)
I also had fun decorating the classroom ...

I also had fun decorating the classroom ...
This was a great idea at first, and the kids love it, but it has now left me with about 50 letters written in Japanese, which I really feel like I should reply to! A blanket letter to each class seem like a bit of a cop out, and I don't want to ruin anyone's Santa dreams!
So apart from making sure that every student has no choice but to LOVE Christmas, my other news is that I have found an Irish Dancing class out here!!
Unbelievable I know, but I actually have found three different classes! So after 4 hours on Sunday and 2 hours yesterday, I am pretty much paralysed from the muscle ache after not dancing for so long, but am looking forward to next class already!
Also this week, I have managed to pull together a life plan, which is to try and get into Primary teaching when I get back to UK. Anyone who know me well will probably have bet money on that being the last job in the world that I would do, but I enjoy it, its fun, and I will be around people who appreciate my unnatural enthusiasm for most things! Any job that pays me to make things, decorate things and create games, rewards and lessons is the ideal job for me! ... that the phase I am going through at the moment anyway :)
