BEACH BOMB!!!

[frellnik]

Was awesome!!  Saturday I went grocery shopping and bought a bunch of healthy food!! I got fish,  veggies, thinly sliced beef, Japanese weiners, milk (yes I found milk that I mostly like and can easily drink) and water.  It takes me about an hour to do groceries because i have to bike there and back. 

After shopping I had to shower. I can't wait for it to cool down here and become less humid! I don't even have to move to sweat! lol GROSS!!  I bought these niftly little fever stips that you peel the backing off and stick it to your forhead (or anywhere else you'd like) and it stays cold for up to 10 hours!!! SO NICE!! lol  I love them! THey were on sale so I bought 2 boxes!

Then I went to Yottsukura to meet my friends and go to the beach.  Saturday was the Iwaki Beach Bomb.  So JETs from all across Fukushima prefecture came to Iwaki to join us on the beach!!  We had a big BBQ (or 3 small ones) and people set up tents and we went swimming in the ocean. It was awesome fun!  I didn't sleep at the beach though, I slept at Sam's place.  Got to bed around 2:30am and managed to sleep until 8am.

I got the 10am train home to Izumi and got home just after 10:30 and cleaned up my apartment and waited for the internet guys to come and install my internet. They didn't have to do much because, as I told the guys at the store, my apartment already has the cables for the fibre optics connection.  So it took about 30 minutes for them to check everything and set up the motem.  cost me about $30.    SO now I have internet! YAY!!!

I talked to ninja007 for about 5 hours on msn vid chat yesterday and am talking to her again right now!  Oh, how i've missed chatting with her online! lol

I just got home from my first day teaching at Izumi Kita Elementary.  Today went really well.  I taught 4 classes (all 6th grade).  I had 1st and 6th period spares.  I taught about myself and Canada today and in two classes we had extra time so we started the class material that needs to be covered and went over names of city buildings and then played a game.  In two classes the kids had lots of questions to ask me and we ran out of time.    The students all seemed to enjoy my self introduction and I did it mostly in Japanese..I started out in English and the kids didn't understand much so I ended up switching to mostly Japanese.

Tomorrow I teach grade 5 and it will be the same fortmat as today. I'll find out which periods I'm teaching tomrrow when I get there.

All my pirctures are up on facebook for anyone who wants to take a look. you'll have to friend me to see them.
