Hello everybody! I have been away for a few weeks sorry about that! Nothing good to write about actually.
Well the Sakuras (Cherry Blossom trees) are just beginning to come out now in Japan. They really are pretty. In Japan, there is a tradition called Hanami 花見, or Cherry Blossom viewing. Basically you go out to the park and sit under the tree with friends, food and drinks and just enjoy the afternoon in the park. It is really nice! I was planning a Hanami party for April 11th, but I don't think that is going to happen anymore. :( I will try to get it going for another day. If not I will go out there by myself and take some photos for the blog. Anyway, look forward to that in the next few weeks.
As for school, well I am actually excited. The new teachers came in today, and there are about 5 new teachers. I was surprised to hear that I will be working with 3 of the new teachers. I'm really looking forward to working with them. I met one of my new teaching partners today and she was so shy. She just graduated from Uni, and has never taught before. So she was asking me to help her out a lot. I would consider myself a decently experienced teacher. Now I think the classes will under my control, which is great because I can some of the crazy ideas I have in my head for lessons!
I will go to a really small BBQ on Saturday for my PTA class. I'm looking forward to that, because I can eat and drink all I want! :)
Anyway, thanks for reading the blog. I'll talk to you soon!
