Kiyoe pointed out the other day that i hadnt posted here in awhile. She asked if it was because I was Japanese, and could no longer 'turn' Japanese. The answer is no.
I havent posted in awhile because recently I've been looking for teaching positions in North Texas. Let me say right now that i hate filling out applications and applying for things, but I know that it is a necessary evil. I just wish it wouldnt take so long for the hiring commitees to make their decisions. I think i have an ulcer now because of the stress.
In other news, i've been sorting through photos from japan and have kindof come to a photo logistical problem. It seems as though i took over 3500 photos during my time over there. Estimating a 'good photo:bad photo' ratio of 1 to 4, I still would have to print almost 700 photos. UGH. ink and paper are not cheap. the scrapbook might be ginormous also.
I have eaten too much since i've come home. while i think i've only put on 2 pounds
i dont feel as healthy as i should. after i get a job i'm seriously going to look into gym membership.
And for all of you who were wondering or care... Kiyoe was accepted into the UTA english program. meaning that somewhere around the beginning of August she will be arriving in hot sweaty dfw for a year of english learning fun!!! Sugoii NE!
ok, back to applications. the sooner I get this job thing figured out the better i'll feel. and the sooner i'll be able to plan my summer adventure. (destination ideas welcome)
