Yeah yeah

So I still love Okinawa. Quick update before I forget to do this again...

I've had classes all week and in the morning I've had to say "good morning" in Japanese to the high school students. There's this one teacher that stops a couple students every once in a while and forces them to introduce him/herself to me...which is just as awkward for me as it is for them but they don't realize it.

I know no English grammar. For real. But I'm studying, so that's good/hugely delayed. I've had to wake up a kid in class once, otherwise I just stand there still. And question whether what I'm saying in English sounds okay or not. I felt a little bad waking up the kid in class though because I think he's just too smart for the class. Um, wow, I feel like I haven't really done anything exciting this week. Hold on, it'll come back to me....

Oh, well I had a Japanese class. Except it was more for the other three TA's so I just had to say things in Japanese for them. Kinda like what I do for my English classes except the opposite! Wow, I'm good at being a tape player. Anyway, the class was fun. We were taught by the VP's wife. I now feel like I know almost the entire family that runs the school. I probably shouldn't tell her about her son's disappointing inability to stay awake...

Um, speaking of the very important people, I also saw the Principle. He asked if I am homesick. I'm not. He was really nice, too. I think that was right after one of the kids yelled down the hall at me...hmm. So yeah, it was a fun day.

I remember something...I talked to the kokusai department kids and shared some chocolate with them, but not before I made them tell me their names. Now when I see them in the hall they quiz me! I'm glad they at least talk to me.

Today I went to the bank and was completely useless with any Japanese knowledge which was okay because there was a woman there to help us out...even though she didn't speak English. I think Japanese people are way nicer about our not speaking Japanese skills than Americans are about people who can't speak English. I only had one class today, and it was boring. I saw Toshihiro and Hiroshi though. But just in passing. And now I'm going to be correcting some extra essays once in a while in order to help out the Kokusai department. Aaaaand, I also agreed to help this (16 year old) girl prepare for the SAT's. I'm such a helpful person. Does that sound right...?

Sorry about the random way I'm typing. It's more like whatever I'm thinking than anything. ps. I'm listening to Jonas Brothers still. I'm not sure why. I watched 5 episodes of House last night, too. Which would explain why I didn't get to bed until late. By late I mean like, 11ish. 10pm is my bedtime.

This weekend is Silver Week so I get a long vacation. I hope to go visit some other islands and just kinda chill.

Anyway, this post is boring. Bye.
