I'm not even gonna try to update you guys on all the stuff that's been going on in my life lately. XD There's just too much-- new people, new places, even new simple daily things like grape jelly and soap.
Here's a quick rundown, though:
I'm now pretty much settled into my tiny little town of Minamiise. It's beautiful here (of course, it helps that I'm still fascinated by the rain and the fog and all of the gorgeous green trees on the mountains). I'm pretty used to driving already, and the hardest thing I've had to deal with is overcoming the language barrier with my supervisor. I start working regularly tomorrow, and there are two English teachers at my school who speak English pretty well. Classes start up again on the 1st of September.
So, in conclusion... Hello from Japan! :D
