Been meaning to post

So I have been meaning to post, but keep forgetting.
This past week a bunch of things have happened. First I was informed that one of the English teachers has to return to Canada for something and Bryan and I will be covering his last three class of the semester. While we really are not doing much, it will be nice to be in the classroom again. Secondly we had the graduation ceremony for the international students and currently the americans and one canadian are in Kyoto and will return later this week. Today (Sunday) I woke up and took the two Malaysian students to the airport. What was supposed to be an easy day, but I spent a few hours trying to get things figured out, as their flight was canceled. They are currently at a Holiday Inn by the airport.
This week or next Bryan and I will be moving in to the old house down the road from the dorm. It is pretty big so it should be nice, even though it doesn't have much for heating.

Currently my biggest debate is what to over my break this winter. My last day of work before the break is the 25th and I return to work on the 7th. I have looked at flying to Okinawa for about 3 days. My biggest part of this debate is that I am wondering if I would rather use the money to take some metals classes while I am here. I am thinking though that after the first I will go to visit the Benedictine Monastery up in Nagano, that I visited two years ago. I have also been invited to spend the new years celebration with president Shimadas family, going to the shrine at midnight and then for soba afterwords.

I also have decided that I will not be applying to grad school this year, instead I am going to apply to go back and get a second bachelors. Most of the grad schools require a bachelors of fine arts and if you dont have one you have to apply as undecided and have a years probation before being able to apply to a major. I figure it will be cheaper to just spend the year getting my bfa.

So that is all for now.

I am going to try and get better at this.
