Well, back from the land of not being able to use LJ... and many other sites as well. Woot! I again have my internet (at home, no less) and it only took me the month that it took everyone else. *laughs*

I'll start using my camera more, I promise and I'll post pictures of various areas in Japan, my neighborhood (which isn't all that photo worthy, but nearby there are apparently amazing spots) and my students.

Japan is rather nice--a bit humid and hot at the moment, and I swear the bugs are mutant bugs. They're huge and scary (the spiders are the size of my hand and more) and are inside my house. Tomorrow or Saturday I'm prevailing upon my neighbor to help me set off a bug bomb to kill any creatures inside my house but me. :)

My students are a mixed bag. Some are shy, some are perverts and then there are sweethearts--I've been asked my age lots of times and if I have a boyfriend... *laughs* some are noisy and then there are the ones that won't say a word. It's a little daunting still and I get nervous, but the time in class goes by much faster than I thought it would, so here's hoping I can still make everything cool for them. (self intros are boring, yo) Next week is sports week at my main teaching school, so I don't teach, but I "must cheer" for the students. No problems for that, I think it'll be awesome.

It's really kinda neat here and I think adjusting will be so much easier now that I have my crack internet life back at home. Skype and cheap phone calls, here I come!

Here are the pictures of my house--at least a few of the rooms. There's a giant spider in one of my rooms, not opening the door out of fear of releasing it. XDDD But it's about the same as the others, which I have pictures of. I'll take pictures of the town soon and the surrounding area. :)
