Yes Steve is always looking around it seems. At Ohtsu we got 11 new teachers this term and one of them sits right in front of my desk. She just happens to be quite good looking ... :P. Anyway today I got to chatting with her. Before she started at Ohtsu her first three years of teaching were divided between two senior high schools, one of which was Himeji Minami! How weird is that, that she use to work at the school I visited when I was in high school (and quite possibly could have gone to around the same time ... dunno yet ...) She is a P.E. teacher and thus English skills are not exactly required for her job, but we were able to chat for a few minutes. She seems very nice and is a dog person. She likes large dogs, guide dog breeds, and has lots of doggie type things on her desk including many Snoopys.
The rest of the new teachers are cool too, but seeing as how this blog is about my perspective and focus ... lol. Anyway I haven't taught yet this term and it seems as though I won't get a chance until next week probably ... so I've been reading lots and lots and lots ... BOOOOORING! I enjoy reading, but 7 hours of it can be a bit much. It is expecially difficuly because the current book I'm reading "Gaijin" is soo detailed and has so many plots it makes my head spin after an hour of it or so. So yeah thats the update. Hope all is well with you fine readers. :)
