It's Finally Over!

I finished my Genji paper!! Whoo!! Yeah!!! I got it turned in a whole day early and everything. While those procrastinators are sitting in their rooms writing their papers tomorrow, I will have my hands held high on some of the sweetest roller coasters in Japan! There is a group of 8 of us going to Fuji-Q Highland (http://www.fujiq.jp/) I will be sure to take tons of pictures if I can. Other than than, not much has happened. I got a warm coat from the RD Don as he was not using it for some reason. I also received lots of info from Michiyo about my trip to Niigata. From the sources, I get to be the first one to work in this new building. Last year the kids worked in a preschool / old-persons home as they were both in the same building. With the completion of this new building over the summer, I will be working in a preschool / daycare for the month. There are supposedly 2 different groups of kids. The preschool kids will range from 0 - 6 years old. This is where I will be spending my mornings. The daycare kids are anywhere from 1st - 6th grade, meaning there will be some older kids too. I am going to be living with Hirai-sensei and her husband. She is one of the top teachers at the school and has been working there for over 25 years. The cool part is that I get to play with lots of kids. The bad part is I have to work 5 days a week from 8 in the morning to 8 at night (possibly earlier and later). Since there are no trains out in Niigata, I have to hitch a ride with Hirai-sensei every day. No more freedom for me >_<
