I’m taking a quick break from my Kyushu report to bring you all up to speed on what has been happening recently. The coming of April has brought many changes. The first of which is a pretty major one. As of April 3rd The Senmaya Education Office is now closed and I am commuting to the Ichinoseki Education Office. This is a mixed blessing in many ways. The one negative thing is that I have to commute 40 minutes to work, and then 40 minutes back, where previously it was a three minute walk from my door. The good news about this is that I only go there about 8 times this term. Also, I am now working with with Omar, the American ALT in Ichinoseki. It’s enjoyable to talk with him about what is going on. The other big advantage to being in Ichinoseki is the shear number of restaurants. I have choice pickings of fast food, Japanese, or even Chinese. This is much better than what I used to have(Choice between set bento or Combini food.)
Along with this change, I am now visiting five schools instead of the three they used to have me go to I believe this is because I have a car and it’s fairly easy for me to get to these schools. I don’t mind at this at all, and in fact, I am looking forward to working at these new schools.
However, April also signals that the end is near. My time on JET is now down to four months. At the end of July my time here will end. What will I do at the end of July? Ah, that is for another blog post.
