Natsukashii!

Hi! I'm just sitting here working on my homework...homework that is already 4 days late, eeeek! But I'll be done with it in another hour or so, so I wanted to post real quick while I'm thinking about it, and thinking about it so intensely!

I really really miss Japan! As you probably know I took a trip there from February 25th through March 10th. It worked out wonderfully. My jobs were fine with my absence (although my students were excited to have me back, their sub wasn't good I hear [hahha a sub for a sub--I'm essentially a long-term sub]) <---wow, that was a lot of thoughts within thoughts. (-_-)

I miss my friends so much! Yoko, Jennie, all of you! P.S. Porschla there, represented by half a head on the right SAVED MY LIFE by quickly obtaining a tax form for me that was floating around the school office.

I miss my school and my kids! I'm very happy that I keep in contact with some of them via Facebook. I am pretty confident that I will meet many of my former students again. I'm excited to see what they do with their life! It's funny because when I say "my kids" I'm also including some of Christina's kids. Christina/Porschla/Me have the best kids in all of Japan! Below is me in my old quad at the school. I never saw anyone go on that quad, so I felt very scandalous running out there for a picture. But then I was told by Porschla that some students now eat lunch out there (reminder-porschla is my beautiful replacement)

I miss just living in Japan, having my cool Japanese friends, being able to walk over to meet them, walk back and have so much fun. My boyfriend just took a trip to London, and was complaining about how much driving we have to do here because everything is so spread out. And I'm like. Yes.
