Time Sure Flies When Your Sick and Theres Work to Do

So I ended up getting pretty sick. All in all I had to take two days off work to get well. But I've managed to pretty much kick it at this point, although I'm still coughing here and there. Now my car is deciding to get sick though, I'm gonna have to take in to the rental place. Its making a high pitched squealing sound, and this is precisely why I rent....because they will fix whatever it is and it wont cost me any extra.

I had a fairly uneventful week after that, we had another culture day. More singing. But my RowdyHill中 kids were really funny in the afternoon and even though KatsuTeacher also wanted me sing we had a pretty good time. Some of my 3rd years did a REALLY funny, and kind of hardcore dance to the Evangelion theme song, and I was cursing the fact that I forgot my camera. I can only hope that I can talk the school into letting me make a copy of the video they took. It was so funny I was in tears laughing.

I spent a lot of time at Kim's this week or so watching all 6 Harry Potter movies so we could watch the premiere of the 7th one yesterday after mid-year seminar. Movies really are best with other people to make snide comments with. And so we also had mid-year seminar, which was so conveniently close to me! Anyway, it was probably the most useful and informative function I've had so far in this process. Probably because now we all sorta know what we're doing and have constructive ideas to share. I do feel kinda inspired to try some more things, and I think I may have a little better understanding of what is needed. So all in all success.

I also went to Izumo Taisha for the first time today, with some other JETs. It really was fun times. The grounds are really pretty, even if the main hall in under construction for the next two years :(
