Spring break has come and gone for the kiddies and teachers here. Though, of course we all still show up to school for work and the kids for various club activities during break. It's also an emotional and big transition time for everyone because in April, the new school begins. So there's new staff and kids moving on to their next grade. I feel a bit renewed and a little more like I know what I'm doing and my first weeks of classes have been good. The new staff has been friendly though I miss my super funny/crazy Kyoto (VP) Sensei at the junior high and some of the other staff that departed. The "ohayogozaimasu"s in the morning just arent the same (sniff sniff).
It is adorable to see my old 6th graders now in uniform at the junior high. Granted some of their uniforms are huge on them, especially the smaller boys. So cute! They look like dresses on them. I'll have to sneak pics of them at some point.
The big vacation/trip time here is coming up. Golden Week, is an accumulation of different holidays including Boys Day (which is now called Childrens Day) so people are decorating with big Koi fish flags around town. Instead of waiting though, Scott and I are heading back to the States! Well, kind of. We will be meeting my family in Hawaii for a week! Its our first time there so I'm psyched and psyched to have a little break on American soil. So if you don't see me online for a bit, just know I'm soaking in the sun somewhere on a beach in Waikiki.
