Seriously, all I want are some square/rectangular pieces of paper that are thick enough so as not to be see through when I hold them up, is that so much to ask? *despairs* I don't suppose anyone would be willing to send me some index cards so I can make Apples to Apples for my students to play?
Went on an easter egg hunt today, or rather, went hunting for chocolate eggs/bunnies so I can spend my class time tomorrow explaining Easter to the kiddies. I had little hope, but oddly enough I found chocolate eggs (filled with weird sugary shapes, but chocolate eggs nonetheless). I headed over to Shimonseki an hour early so that I could shop in the massive mall complex next to the station. Almost got my hopes up upon finding an actual store selling posters, but they were (oddly enough) the usual college poster selection and there was nothing interesting *pouts* (I'm on a search for good posters for my tatami room).
Japanese class went well. The helper teacher ended up sitting next to me, which was part annoying (just because she spoke faster than me and right in my ear) and part good since she could answer my questions right away. She was also the third J. person to compliment me on my handwriting in hiragana, which leads me to believe that I either have good handwriting, or I have good handwriting for a foreigner *L* I really do need to up my vocabulary for that class. The grammar is easy (which is weird, since I could have sworn I didn't learn much grammar over the past two years) but there's so many words (mostly adjectives and verbs) they use that I don't know. Need to learn body parts and animals too *sigh* It is nice to go there and socialize a bit, though I have to run right afterwards if I want to catch the train *pout*
Oh, and I've truly arrived in Japan - today I was oggled by a salaryman on the train.
And I really wish I hadn't listened to so much dance music on my mp3 player (or this song come to think of it) since now I really want to dance and there's no handy ceilidhs around to use up my energy in.
