SUMMER!

Well, bethany has rolled on home after you trip in Hokkaido. She's been home and had her welcome home party.

As for me, I'm enjoying my summer vacation. I came back to school on wednesday to find out that after all that discussion about it being IMPERATIVE that i'm at school during break to find out that it's just like spring break. In the sense that there's absolutely nothing for me to do at school, and most of my teachers are gone. Nice. :P

Well, that of course means that I'm bored outta my mind at school. Some JET's get to stay home over break, but as per our contract, it technically states taht we have to be at school all break unless our principal allows us to go home. The thing is, I think mine would let me go home, but he doesn't know. He came by on thursday and was like, 'you haven't gone home? you have business?' So...yeah. That of course means that i'm pulling a spring break, and taking long lunch breaks and leaving early. Blarg. It's just a bummer that I can't do a proper trip. Not that I could afford it anyway. :P

I talked to my buddy Chad, a friend from Kansai who's back in Japan on JET right now, we're hopefully going to get together over 'silver week', a one in 7 years lucky line-up of holidays in September.

the new JET's have arrived too, but I haven't had any luck meeting up with them just yet. I'll be able to see them on Wednesday though, at the orientation meeting up in Nagano-city. The parties after orientation should also be a fun time too. Yay! :-)
