More pleasure for all


It seems like half the teachers have taken the day off, or are busy visiting their new schools so it's really quiet around the office. Lately Yamaguchi sensei, one of my JTE's, has been coming to my desk quite often and chit chatting with me. I'm not sure if she's worried about me since Mariko is leaving, or if she just has more time to chat now that her duties have changed. Whatever the reason, I like it because I enjoy our conversations and it also helps break up the monotony of the day. It's definitely much quieter around my desk when Mariko is not around. Mariko likes to joke that she's "not very typically Japanese" in that she is very outgoing and extroverted. I've only had the chance to meet my new supervisor briefly, but if Mariko is an example of "not typically Japanese" then I have a feeling she must be "very typically Japanese" since she barely spoke a word to me when we met. I guess she's a little shy, but hopefully that will change once we get to know each other better.


Nothing else much new with me. I just bought a DVD burner and will be happy to make DVD's of my videos if anyone wants one. I'm still trying to figure out how exactly to do that though.
