Tuesday (13th):
After work my JTE( one of the two new Japanese Teachers of English I work with) and I left work to Mikaiji Elementary school for our monthly regular meeting. The meeting in general was useless and basically going over things we are had heard about or to try new procedures of teaching that we more than likely wont employ on our students in the classroom. We met our new supervisor as well and though he seems like a SUPER nice guy he can’t speak a lick of English while our former supervisors’ English was fantastic. Nevertheless the meeting finished and I had enough time to get home, change and go to Momo bar where we had the welcome/farewell enkai with JTEs, ALTs and Board of Education members.
This was indeed an interesting night. I managed to set myself between the now former and current supervisor and when I offered to move my former supervisor said it was ok to stay where I was. It was also my first time to have an party of sorts with both my new JTEs. Y-san gets adorably cute when she is drunk, and she liked to nuzzle her face into my side. She is made of adorable and also a fun teacher to work with. It indeed lucked out on having the opportunity to work with her. My male (25year old) JTE was also there, and wanted to go one on one with me for shots. Both I, O-san (25 year old and his name for further notice), Bandou, and a few other JTEs also managed to get on the topic of fetishes and porn, and O-san decided that it would be a good idea to bring it up with our former supervisor when he walked over to talk with our side of the table. Not to long before that though my former supervisor spoke with me about how he wanted me to continue teaching and help introducing western culture to those around me. He also proceeded to tell me that all of us Kurobe Jets were hand picked under other requirements then the rest of our Ken and said that I was indeed the most special. This backs my theory up that my supervisor had some subconscious crush on me. It’s interesting. Nevertheless as you can see the rest of the night was history, good times and no hangovers the next morning cause I’m a G.
**FAST FORWARD**
Friday 16th:
So today was Regional meeting time. Left work around 12:30pm and meet up with Lawrence to follow him to the Uozu center where the meeting was held. The meeting was long but more informative then normal, I also ran for regional representative but Marissa won over me. I am not to hurt by it simply because it leaves me free to do something else. I’ve debated about social representative but we shall see. After the meeting we had another short meeting talking about personal grievances we are having within the school system and hopefully that will start a chain of action. When that was over we were off to dinner at some Italian place (did not enjoy the food), over to the kombini for snacks and then three hours of karaoke. Amazingly I sung alone perhaps twice. I feel I’m starting to loose my voice, not so much from illness, but it’s been hard to sing up to my usual volume, range as of late. I wonder why this is. Then home I went with Tiffany. She ended up crashing at my house since she missed her train.
Saturday 17th:
AJet Prom started at 6:00pm that night so I spent most of the morning cleaning my apartment after Tiffany left to prepare for everyone one who was staying the night because of Kurobes’ lack of late trains. I got dressed with what I already had and went to the train station to pick up Faye. We ended up waiting around for twenty minutes (ate a bento in the mean while ^^) for Nicole and Ryan to come because their train was late. Once I had everyone we went back to my apartment and they finished getting ready. Faye got a small Anita make over as well. It was quite funny. We however didn’t make it to the prom till around seven but thankfully the party itself hadn’t really gotten off the ground. So for the remainder of the night it was picture taking galore since everyone was in 007 theme (which was essentially formal wear) or something short and spy like. Several ppl had fake guns. It was cute. The music got better at the end as well and a lot of us danced. All in All it was a really good time. The prom itself wasn’t the end of the night. Since the dance ended at 10:30 about twenty of us piled into cars and taxis and made our way back to Momo bar. There we stayed a few more hours, had some laughs, alcohol and good times. I saw many people I see rarely and Tiffany bought all my drinks. I think it was simply because I let her crash at my house twice in a row, but even still that was super nice of her. It was a good night, and I was suuper glad to see those who stayed over night at my house.
Sunday 18th:
The morning started super early. I wanted to sleep in for a while but some are early risers and thus woke the rest of us up. I resigned to my fate and we all dressed, and went out the door. We decided to catch lunch in Toyama, and the only reason why I agreed to go was for the sole purpose of play rehearsal that afternoon. At lunch we or at least I ate entirely too much but it was all very tasty. When the meal was over I said goodbye to everyone and to play rehearsal I went. Other then not being able to work on my song the rehearsal went well, and I simply just need to learn my lines by next Sunday (its already Tuesday >.<). FINALLY I WENT HOME… and then spent an absurd amount of hours (stopped at 5am) finishing the Sengoku Basara anime series even though I had work at 8:30 the next morning! It was totally worth it!
