Well...Fuck!

So...today Kodama Sensei and Takahama Sensei came to have a meeting with my Principle and with me. I didn't know about it until this morning.  First I was told it would be at 3pm and then I was told it would be moved to 2pm but since I had class until 2:15 I should go to the principal's room right after class.  

Then the VP asked me if I knew my schedule for August and I said that I would probably get it on the 12th at the monthly BOE meeting.    ok.

So classes went well. I taught 1 grade 5 class and 2 grade 6 classes and we did presentations and I gave out a lot of stickers.  Then I went to the Principals room to have the meeting and the look on their faces made me want to turn around and leave.  They looked guilty! Like they didn't want to tell me what they had to tell and I had no idea what was going on.  

I knew there was a possibility that I would be moved to another town because I'm the only ALT in Izumi and if something happens there isn't anyone around to help me. I've already had a few problems with that this year.  So I thought maybe I'd get moved to Onahama and then I'd keep my schools and have a few others added to my list to make up the difference in classes.

NOPE! not the case.

I am no longer teaching Elementary school at all! I'll be moving to Yotsukura which is 5 stops away from here (about 30 minutes on the train plus one transfer and wait time).  I'll be teaching Junior High School and basically taking over for Justin who is going back to Ottawa in August.  I'll be teaching at his 3 or 4 schools and my base school will be Yotsukura Junior High school which is closed right now due to Tsunami damage as it is right near the beach.  The 1st nd 2nd grade students are going to school at Yotsukura Elementary school and the 3rd years are going to school at the high school? I think.   So I will go to my base school (Yotsukura Elementary, for now) and then take a taxi to which ever school I'll be teaching at that day.  One of my schools is inside the 30km zone by the Fukushima plant, but I'm not too worried that. The other one will be in Kusano and there may be a 4th but I'm not sure.

The only upside in all of this is that I'll be in the same building as syuria and we are friends.  I'm hoping that since I'll be in the same building as her that my apartment will be as nice as hers is.  Yotsukura is even farther out in the boonies than Izumi and I'll be leaving behind my SGI friends that I made here...and my chapter.  I'll have to find a new chapter now. Lots to think about.

The BOE will have someone come and move me but I still need to pack up all my stuff. I will have to talk to Justin to find out what the apartment will have and what I will need to bring from mine.  I know he has a bed, which I won't need, so he'll have to get rid of it...but if he has a couch then I won't need to bring mine.

A thought just occured to me...Yotrukura has no grocery store right now...but they are building one. I wonder if it will be finished by the time I move there lol.  

On top of all this, I am sick again.  Just a cold I think.  can't breathe through my nose and my eyes are puffy from my sinuses and my throat is a bit sore.  no fever though, so yay! I don't feel like cooking or anything today....I wonder if I have anything simple I can make.  My plan was to make fajitas and watch a movie.  OH!

I was in Tokyo this weekend and I found Season 2 of SG: Atlantis for 75$ and all three TOY STORY movies boxset for 69$ so I bought them both! lol  YAY for impulse buying! hahaha.  

So maybe I will make fajitas and watch toy story. I could use a good laugh. :)
