Kind of a Big Deal

Woop. Back in school, back in the classroom. For all that I go on about the annoyances of work and life in Japan, they are no more or less prevalent than they would be anywhere else, doing almost anything else. Truth is I love the important parts of my job and life in general is pretty good.

  

So that’s all you’re getting today. No long Friday post because I’ve been having too much fun this week. Well, curriculum planning isn’t fun, exactly, but the results it produces when done properly really are. Plus, y’know, actually teaching and stuff. The new first year students with their tiny little faces all shiny with anticipation, excitement, and nerves.

Now is when you get them folks - get the first few weeks right and the rest of the year is as good as sold. Woop, and once again, woop.

Credit where it’s due.
